Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.) Hosted and produced by award winning science journalist Rose Eveleth, each episode combines audio drama and journalism to go deep on potential tomorrows, and uncovers what those futures might re ...

Science Friction's latest series is: Cooked. We dig into food science pickles. Why are studies showing that ice cream could be good for you? Do we really need as many electrolytes as the internet says? And why are people feeling good on the carnivore diet? Nutrition and food scientist Dr Emma Beckett takes us through what the evidence says about foods like meat, ice cream and potatoes — and unpicks why nutrition studies can be so conflicting and confusing. All six episodes of Cooked are avai ...

We talk a little bit of the upcoming Germany federal elections this weekend and in TWISH we hear about Carl von Rokitansky the Austrian physician, pathologist, humanist philosopher and liberal politician and founder of the Viennese School of Medicine of the 19th century. How he managed to dissect tens of thousands of bodies is baffling and just a little bit scary…
Then, we turn to the news:
- UK: Prof. Jim Al-Khalili gets Darwin Day Medal
- SWEDEN: Murder of Quran burner
- FRANCE: Didier Raoult can’t stop spreading bullshit
- ITALY: Italian ‘mystic’ may face trial after DNA match with blood on Virgin Mary statue
- INTERNATIONAL: Elisabeth Bik Science Integrity Fund launches
We hand out a Really Right Award (for once) and a little surprisingly it goes to the UK government for an ambitious project to spot climate change tipping points. We also have a Norwegian Word of the Week, tune in to find why Elon Musk may not be thrilled about it.
Enjoy!
