A nifty little podcast unpacking science and psychology. 

Hosted by Emma Kennedy, each episode tries to answer one big question, such as why can’t time travel to why do we have a ‘type’ for an ideal romantic partner, with a couple of experts who speak in layman’s terms. As well as finding out the answer to each question, I like the little facts that you pick up along the way. One fact? According to research, mice and dogs are other animals that can cry as well as humans, with dogs usually crying when they are reunited with their owners. Useful trivia for the pub.
