Guests: Aditi Narayanan & Dr. Stuart Bartlett How do viruses shape life on Earth? Well, the Coronavirus pandemic is just the tip of the iceberg.

Here come Hanks and Hannah in our Next 149 Project as we lip-wag about a fruit merchant falling in love with a mythical fish-babe. How can anyone not love this rom-com to the ends of the Earth? Well....we didn’t. Splash was one of Bev’s favourites as a kid, but now she has issues with Allen's attitude and we both wish the movie had been funnier. Hannah is perfectly cast though and there’s definitely fun to be had with this occasionally knee-slapping picture. Ron Howard became a major player as a director after this and he’d go on to do better work, as would his star, Thomas Nice Guy. But enough pre-beefin’. Listen to our full-on beefin’!

ALL HAIL SHAAAADOW! We continue reveling in our Listener Request Summer with the very silly and scattered storytelling of the iconic Shadow the Hedgehog. When an army of diabolical aliens attack, the world is powerless to stop them. Except for one hedgehog. No, not Sonic, although he's there, too. Our only hope is the fearsome power of the brooding loner, Shadow the Hedgehog. But Shadow is suffering from amnesia, and these aliens seem to be his only hope to learn the truth of his existence. Will Shadow side with the invaders or defend the Earth? Well, kinda both.
