In his typically humble way, Joe makes the case he can win a fight with one of the great apes, and Taylor Swift can't hold a tune. And it all, somehow, stems from him being disappointed that Dublin Zoo is just too damn good these days.A listener tips us off about the fascinating origins of eels (turns out it's quite a mystery), and Joe has an audience with the Pope in the Vatican. Which means he now has two passes into heaven, which is handy.We also search for Darren on Goggle street view, and hear about his new collectible habit, which this time Joe is actually interested in.And we have a time travel challenge, with a 10 year old Darren Conway tasked with alerting the world to impending disaster.

Weapons of the Future We can see it in our newsfeeds every single day, as war rages on the eastern frontiers of Europe - so too are the changing dynamics evident in the way war is conducted in the 21st century. But as tactics and strategies continue to evolve, so too do the technologies that underpin the armed forces of nations the world over. So, when it comes to the weapons of the future, what can we expect exactly? Jonathan is joined by military technology journalist, Kelsey D. Atherton. The Fibonacci Sequence They're found so commonly in the natural world, such a precise mathematical pattern. From pine cones to ferns unfolding, hurricanes, many other natural phenomenon. Essentially it's still an ongoing question about why they are so common. Jonathan talks to someone who is trying to get to the bottom of this natural phenomenon, Dr Sandy Hetherington, UKRI Future Leaders Fellow, Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences, University of Edinburgh. Cryo Conservation It's a sad truth that the number of species on this planet is diminishing every day, mostly due to human activity. In order to save what we have and even one day restore species back from the edge of extinction, we need to save as many samples of living animals as we can. Joining Jonathan to talk about cryo conservation and its importance in science is Dr Andrew Mooney who is with Dublin Zoo and the Department of Zoology at Trinity College Dublin.
