Right in the heart of London is one of the city's most popular attractions, The Natural History Museum.

Conrad Koch is South Africa's most well-known ventriloquist, and his puppet Chester Missing is more famous than he is - a character who has interviewed presidents on television, and who has spent years at the centre of a genuinely complicated conversation about race, comedy, and who gets to say what.In this episode, we talk about writing material that works in Gqeberha and Edinburgh, the implications of making Chester white and not brown, how millions of views on TikTok doesn't necessarily translate to a packed house, and why Conrad thinks the "I'm an artist, man" position in comedy is a lot easier when your country isn't the most unequal on earth. We also get into his new show Chester's Got Talent, the uncle joke that isn't quite working yet, and why he should stop replying to comments.

Birds are the only dinosaurs that survived the asteroid impact 66 million years ago — but not all birds did. In this episode, Steve Brusatte draws on the fossil record to explain which birds came through the extinction, and what set the survivors apart from the many that perished alongside the rest of the dinosaurs. He traces the evolutionary transition from ground-living theropods to modern birds, drawing on the spectacular feathered fossils unearthed over the past three decades in northeastern China. Brusatte is Professor of Palaeontology and Evolution at the University of Edinburgh and author of The Story of Birds, published this year.

J.John sits down with Peter Anderson, Lead Pastor of City on a Hill Church in Edinburgh, to explore the journey of building a church from humble beginnings to a thriving, multi-community movement. Starting with just 30 members after four years, Peter shares how City on a Hill has since grown to reach hundreds across seven communities. In this honest and inspiring conversation, he reflects on the tension of holding onto a big vision while facing the challenges of a small reality.

https://eggshelltherapy.com/podcast-blog/2026/05/26/grief/This is one of my favourite conversations I have recorded for The Intense Mind. As I was researching mortality and grief myself, I came across Professor Cholbi's Grief: A Philosophical Guide as a reader. I loved the book so much that I annotated it heavily. To go from reading the book to sitting with the author feels surreal, in a really wondrous way. Most of what we are offered when we grieve either asks whether something has gone wrong with us or hands us techniques to manage the pain. A philosophical approach does not try to diagnose grief. Instead, it gives us conceptual tools to understand and think about grief in a new way.  It gives us tools to make the experience feel less disorienting without pretending to solve it.Dr. Cholbi is Chair in Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh and the author of Grief: A Philosophical Guide. In this conversation we discuss:— Why grief is better understood as a sustained form of attention than as a single emotion — Whose deaths we actually grieve, and why intimacy and love don't fully explain it — Ambivalent grief, and the relief that can sit beside sorrow — Why the pain of grief is not a cost we pay but part of how we understand what we have lost — His argument that we may have a duty to grieve, and that everyone is entitled to be grieved by someone — Why he resists treating grief as an illness to be diagnosed and shortenedProfessor Cholbi's website: https://michael.cholbi.com Eggshell Therapy and Coaching: eggshelltherapy.com/Imi Lo:  imiloimilo.comSister Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Zcl8ZUsu4AePugDoWtXcgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/eggshelltransformationsNewsletters: https://eepurl.com/bykHRzDisclaimers: https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/disclaimers  Trigger Warning: This episode may cover sensitive topics including but not limited to suicide, abuse, violence, severe mental illnesses, relationship challenges, sex, drugs, alcohol addiction, psychedelics, and the use of plant medicines.

In this important episode, we sit down with Suzanne Greco—survivor, theologian, advocate, PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh, and founder of Italian Parish Records—to talk about the unimaginable journey that transformed her life.After disclosing child sexual abuse and leaving an abusive marriage, Suzanne found herself confronting not only personal trauma, but systemic failures inside religious institutions meant to protect the vulnerable. Her advocacy work would eventually take her all the way to the United Nations and alongside Pope Francis in the global fight to protect children and support survivors.Suzanne shares intimate through-the-veil experiences that occurred during one of the darkest seasons of her life—including visitations from her abusive husband's deceased siblings, who came to comfort and support her as she prepared to leave her marriage. She also recounts a profoundly healing encounter with an LDS clergyman whose unexpected words became a pivotal part of her spiritual and emotional recovery.This episode is about survival, truth, spiritual experiences, institutional accountability, healing, and the unseen support that can arrive when we need it most.

This week we're delving into the archives and going back to episode 259 in 2018 with that year's Edinburgh Comedy Award winner, Rose Matafeo!

Johnny Mac records a catch-up episode of Daily Comedy News from a street corner on Edinburgh's Royal Mile after visiting Edinburgh Castle and attending the Podcast Show London. He recaps Stephen Colbert hosting the final episode of The Late Show from the Ed Sullivan Theater, sharing Colbert's remarks about doing over 1,800 shows, calling it “The Joy Machine,” reflecting on “feeling the news,” and joking about show history and a “first drafts” bit; the final guest was Sir Paul McCartney. Johnny also covers a brewing comedy controversy: Chelsea Handler criticized Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe's roast material on Deon Cole's podcast, calling it gross, racist, sexist, and bigoted, citing lynching and jokes about Sheryl Underwood's late husband; Gillis responded online and plugged a Philadelphia stadium show, and Underwood said some jokes went too far.00:18 Colbert Final Show Tribute02:02 Ed Sullivan Farewell Bits03:36 Final Guest Paul McCartney04:23 Shane Gillis Chelsea Handler Roast Drama05:32 Royal Mile Travel Wrap Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

Season 20 Episode 12: Charlotte Edwards is one of the most respected people in all of cricket. With her career in the game now entering a third decade, she's now in the job she always wanted since finishing as a superstar player and captain in 2016: coach of the England Women's Team. Taking over at a low ebb last year, we find a mentor who has found the empathy needed for a role like this, but also one who doesn't shirk the big decisions posed, especially when it comes to senior players. We find Lotte, as she's known by all, brimming with enthusiasm not only for how far the women's game has progressed, and for the opportunities presented by a home T20 World Cup.

On this day, 21 May 1913, a bomb exploded at the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh, Scotland, set by suffragettes. The blast caused no casualties, although some blood was found at the scene, presumably from the perpetrator, but it did crack the masonry of the west tower, damage the floor and break some windows. The Dalkeith Advertiser reported the following day: 'The perpetrators left behind them a ladies' handbag of the kind used for shopping. It contained a few currant biscuits wrapped in paper, a couple of safety pins, and in the grounds were found two pieces of paper. On one of them was written in ink “How beggarly appears argument before defiant deed. Votes for women.”'More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9413/royal-observatory-bombedOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Matt McCusker takes his shoes off for the first time to talk with Rick about Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast (MSSP), basketball, strong girls, and even other stuff. Don't believe me? Hahaha, okay.

What if robots of the future weren't just clever machines, performing tasks in isolation, but trusted teammates you could have a chat with? That could respond naturally to conversational cues and even explain their work? Making this relationship a reality is a focus for Helen Hastie, Professor of Human-Robot Interaction and Head of the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh. Helen's career has taken her from developing early dialogue systems - the ancestors of today's generative AI - to working on sophisticated bots that can serve coffee with a side of small-talk, teach struggling kids with empathy, or provide calm and confident decisions as triage nurses. She's also driven some of the UK's flagship robotics initiatives, including as co-lead of the National Robotarium.Talking to Professor Jim Al-Khalili - who reveals he was once told off for rudeness by an early chatbot - Helen explains her hopes for useful, reliable and ultimately trustworthy robots; machines that aren't just in our world but a welcome part of it. Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor A BBC Studios production

Scientology recruitment rarely looks the way people imagine. There is no shadowy figure pulling you into a back room. The process is warm, and, for a curious young person, entirely easy to be “handled” and sucked in. Amir Essalhi was 18 years old and studying film when he first walked into the Edinburgh organization in late 2022. He had never heard of Hubbard. He did not know who David Miscavige was. He knew one thing: He was into being an aspiring filmmaker, and loved Tom Cruise. When he was shown a Scientology recruitment video with Tom Cruise his curiosity to know more was the tool used to manipulate him. Less than two years later, Amir was running the group's social media strategy across TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, delivering public lectures, and serving as one of the senior executives of the only Scientology organization in Scotland's capital. He was 19. I spoke with Amir twice, first on a live stream, and then on my Cults, Culture & Coercion podcast. What he shared in both conversations is something every young person, and every parent of a young person, needs to hear. Scientology has been all over some social media channels as some people were running into Scientology buildings and posting the video of their illegal trespassing. I have been vocal criticizing this as has Leah Remini- whose original show I was on as a guest. Many of the platforms Scientology uses to reach young people carry no Scientology branding at all. Amir confirmed that promotional materials would sometimes run under names like "Dianetics" or localized event names, with "Scientology" buried in fine print or absent entirely. The group also uses front organizations, including Narconon (drug rehabilitation), the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, and Drug Free World, none of which disclose their Scientology ties in their public-facing materials. Destructive authoritarian cults know that if they give fully informed consent, no one would ever get involved. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Our bodies and brains are radically transformable, mutable and plastic. From the neuroplasticity of the brain to the epigenetic malleability of our bodies and of all organic life, the work of the contemporary French philosopher Catherine Malabou invites us to consider our plasticity as both a creative resource and an ethical challenge. Catherine Malabou and Contemporary French Literature and Film: Witnessing Plasticity (Edinburgh UP, 2026) brings Malabou's philosophy into dialogue with contemporary literature and film. It reads conceptions of plasticity and neuroplasticity in Malabou through the mutant bodies of Leos Carax's films; the shape-shifting bodies of Marie Darrieussecq's novels and theatre; the terrifying, traumatic metamorphoses depicted in the fiction of Marie NDiaye; and the anarchic sexualities and identities celebrated in the cinema and writing of Alain Guiraudie. It argues that, in different ways, Malabou's philosophy and literary and filmic texts develop modes of bearing witness to plasticity which can supplement, challenge and extend scientific understandings of biological plasticity, constituting ethical and creative sites of exploration.

Join us in Montreal as we speak with François Boutin-Dufresne who, together with Karl Gauvin, is co-founder of the Observatoire des Erreurs – Canada's very own version of the Library of Mistakes. Inspired by a trip to Edinburgh, the Observatoire embraces the same ethos as the Library of Mistakes, and joins other extensions of our activity in Pune (India) and Lausanne (Switzerland). The Observatoire is currently an online community but is hoping to establish a physical presence – and François is a really interesting listen. We also hear from Didasko CEO David Clarke on summer activites in Edinburgh, while our Librarian, Helen Williams, dips into books about the oil industry. Enjoy!Presented by Leila Johnston & Fraser Allen.www.libraryofmistakes.com

Our bodies and brains are radically transformable, mutable and plastic. From the neuroplasticity of the brain to the epigenetic malleability of our bodies and of all organic life, the work of the contemporary French philosopher Catherine Malabou invites us to consider our plasticity as both a creative resource and an ethical challenge. Catherine Malabou and Contemporary French Literature and Film: Witnessing Plasticity (Edinburgh UP, 2026) brings Malabou's philosophy into dialogue with contemporary literature and film. It reads conceptions of plasticity and neuroplasticity in Malabou through the mutant bodies of Leos Carax's films; the shape-shifting bodies of Marie Darrieussecq's novels and theatre; the terrifying, traumatic metamorphoses depicted in the fiction of Marie NDiaye; and the anarchic sexualities and identities celebrated in the cinema and writing of Alain Guiraudie. It argues that, in different ways, Malabou's philosophy and literary and filmic texts develop modes of bearing witness to plasticity which can supplement, challenge and extend scientific understandings of biological plasticity, constituting ethical and creative sites of exploration.

Inflammation is tied to some of the biggest health problems in the world — heart disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune conditions, gut disorders, brain health issues, fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, mood changes, and more. And one of the best ways to understand what is driving that inflammation may begin in your gut. Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, bestselling author of Fiber Fueled and Plant Powered Plus, joins Chuck Carroll to reveal how the gut microbiome can shape inflammation throughout the body — and what you can do to start reducing inflammation naturally. Dr. B also shares practical steps for people with sensitive stomachs, bloating, IBS, or food intolerances who want to improve gut health without making symptoms worse. This is your gut-first guide to understanding inflammation, identifying what may be driving your symptoms, and taking the first steps toward better health.

A new report out today is calling for urgent reforms to better protect and support children affected by parental domestic homicide, following an examination of the long-term impact on young people across the UK and Ireland. Reporter Jo Morris has been speaking to a woman, we are calling Katy, who experienced the unimaginable as a child, when her father killed her mother. Despite this, when he was released from prison, Katy was required to stay with him at weekends. How should children and young people be supported? Chloe Tilley is joined by Sarah Burrows from the charity Children Heard and Seen, and Professor John Devaney from the University of Edinburgh and author of the report. Two of the government ministers who resigned yesterday, Jess Phillips and Alex Davies-Jones, were responsible for the government's violence against women and girls strategy. In her resignation letter, safeguarding minister Jess Phillips highlighted the need for urgent action to combat the spread of online child sexual abuse imagery, where progress has been 'repeatedly stalled and delayed'. The government says it wants to make it 'impossible' for children in the UK to take, share or view nude images. Hannah Swirsky from the Internet Watch Foundation joins Chloe to discuss.At the height of the Cold War, women led one of the most enduring protests against nuclear weapons. What began as a march to Greenham Common became a peace camp that lasted nearly 20 years - inspiring Eleanor Anstruther's new novel, Fallout.Presenter: Chloe Tilley Producer: Dianne McGregor

Bill Lawrence (or as we like to call him, William Van Duzer Lawrence the 4th) isn't only the guy who gave Rick Glassman his first TV show job on the NBC show Undateable, he is also the creator of Scrubs, Cougar Town, Spin City, Ground Floor, Ted Lasso, Shrinking, and Rooster. Perhaps he is most know as one of the writers on The Nanny or Boy Meets World.Point is, the guy win Emmys so STOP calling him William Van LOOZER Lawrence the 4th. Anyway, Bill takes his shoes off for the second time to talk with Rick about how Rick is one of the best actors he's every worked with and should be a romantic lead of all the stuff.
