    What is attachment theory?
    Aug 31 2026
    Each of us has our own unique experience of social bonds, influenced by our childhood, previous relationships, and personality. And there’s actually a psychological theory that helps explain how we experience our relationships: attachment theory. In psychology, attachment is the strong bond between an individual and an "attachment figure." In most cases, our first attachment figure is the parent who takes care of us by meeting our needs from birth. Later on, the bond can become reciprocal between two adults, friends, or lovers. Who theorised attachment? What are the different attachment styles? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

    Are girls really worse at maths?
    Aug 31 2026
    According to the UK’s Department for Education, girls still make up fewer students choosing A-level maths and physics and even fewer go on to study engineering or computer science at university. Yet these subjects often lead to some of the best-paid jobs. So, does this mean girls just aren’t as good at maths? So, what’s behind that shift? So what can be done to change that?

    Why do we get bad breath in the morning?
    Aug 31 2026
    According to The Cleveland Clinic, around one in four people are affected by bad breath. It’s also known as halitosis and bad breath can be a source of embarrassment. It’s sometimes caused by consuming certain well-known foods, like garlic, onion, cheese, and coffee for example. But it can also be a symptom of an underlying health condition, such as pneumonia, gum recession, kidney disease and gastrointestinal disorders. Do bacteria have anything to do with it? How can we avoid bad breath? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

  • Who is the richest man in history?

    Who is the richest man in history?
    Aug 30 2026
    Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos… modern billionaires are in a league of their own. We’re often told that wealth comes from hustle, long hours, and smart decisions. But once you reach billionaire level we’re no longer talking about salaries, bonuses, or promotions. Take Jeff Bezos, for example. As of April 2025, Forbes estimated his fortune at around $236 billion. For comparison, the median salary in the U.S. is about $60,000 a year. So how long would the average American have to work to earn Bezos-level wealth? The answer: more than 3 million years and that’s assuming they never spend a single cent. Who was he? So how did he become so rich? Where did all that power come from? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What are the most hydrating foods?

    What are the most hydrating foods?
    Sep 2 2026
    We all know staying hydrated is crucial for feeling fit and healthy. The general recommendation is to drink between 1.5 to 2 litres of water a day. But let’s be honest, it’s not always easy to stick to that. Ideally, you shouldn’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink water because thirst signals that your body has already lost about half a litre of water. But you might be surprised to learn that your diet can also play a big role in keeping you hydrated. Which foods are the best for hydration? Are there hydrating options for winter? Is there anything to avoid? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • What is a testicle bath?

    What is a testicle bath?
    Aug 30 2026
    Still in this day and age, the burden of being responsible for birth control falls mainly on women. You’ve got an almost endless list of reversible female methods, such as the pill, coil, vaginal ring and the implant, with new ones never ceasing to emerge. On the other hand, when it comes to male contraceptives, the options out there are pretty limited. Mentalities are evolving but there is little communication on the subject. That’s despite trials on the male pill having been carried out as you may remember from listening to our past episode on male contraception. Of course, men can choose to get a vasectomy but that is a permanent procedure. How does it actually work? It wasn’t a man who came up with this? Should we be expecting to see the testicle bath device available soon? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

  • Are additives bad for your health?

    Are additives bad for your health?
    Sep 1 2026
    According to The Sun, scientists say that “the average person in the UK now consumes more than eight kilograms of chemical additives every year.” Of course with that being an average figure, it can shoot up even further for those who eat a lot of ultra-processed foods. If you’ve ever looked closely at ingredients lists on the packaging of food you buy in your supermarket, you’ll have noticed the E numbers by which additives can be recognised. Each category has its assigned E numbers. For example, colours are in the 100s, preservatives in the 200s and antioxidants in the 300s. Aren’t additives banned? What are they actually used for? Why do additives have such a bad rap then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
