Why? - An engaging podcast that looks at a different scientific question each week. 

From the episode titles you might think that the issue explored is pretty simple. Issues such as “is it wrong to have sex with robots?” (my reaction: yes) and “are we already receiving messages from aliens?” (my reaction: probably not.) What you end up realising is that actually each issue is far more complicated and layered. And you don’t need a science degree to understand the issue either. I got a C in my GCSEs and I understood everything.
