Ah, the G-spot... An often cited but frequently elusive erogenous zone which has a reputation of being able to unlock intense female orgasms if you know how to stimulate it the right way.  The G-spot was first discovered by German gynecologist Ernst Gräfenberg - hence the G part of the name - back in 1950. But the term was only coined in his honour in the 1980s, by a group of researchers who were writing about female ejaculation and popularised Grafenberg's findings in a book. Gräfenberg attributed three main functions to this hotspot: generating pleasurable sensations, causing swelling, and sometimes leading to female ejaculation. Where is the G-spot said to be located? Is this area really a magic button for intense orgasms? What's the best way to stimulate the G-spot? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In this day and age, it's common to feel stressed every day, even right through to the evening. Have you ever struggled to lower your stress levels when it comes to bedtime, and taken a long while to fall asleep as a result? The worry of not getting enough sleep then just gets you even more frustrated; it's a vicious circle. If you're falling victim to anxiety and fatigue for that reason, it's time to stop binge-watching Netflix and try moon breathing instead! What's that? How can I get started with moon breathing then? How does it actually affect the body? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

With the summer holiday season drawing to a close, many university students are preparing to leave home for the first time and head to campus accommodation. While they're enjoying freshers week, chances are their parents may be finding it unsettling that their child is no longer present at home. That's even more likely when it's their last child who's just left home. This form of grief is known as empty nest syndrome and it disproportionately affects mothers, who statistically tend to spend more time taking care of children than men, when it comes to heterosexual couples. Why would that be a cause of sadness though? Shouldn't parents be happy to see their children moving forwards in life? What can parents do to cope with empty nest syndrome? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠Is "quiet quitting" helping employees find a better work-life balance?⁠ ⁠How is the #Periodsomnia campaign helping to close the period sleep gap?⁠ ⁠What is the windscreen phenomenon?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

What are Fan Tokens? Thanks for asking! Even if you're not a football fan, you can't have missed the news of Lionel Messi's recent transfer to Paris Saint Germain in mid-August. But you may not have heard details of the star's €30M sign-on package at PSG, a significant proportion of which was paid in the club's Fan Token cryptocurrency. The move led to a spike in PSG trading, with the token value more than doubling from one week to the next. Where can you buy fan tokens? And what's the point?

The UN's COP26 summit is due to start this Sunday, and it's pretty clear to most of us that climate change is the most serious threat to our health. Of course it's a physical threat, especially to the vulnerable, due to extreme weather events like heatwaves, storms and fires, which are increasingly frequent and intense.  But we mustn't neglect the mental impact, as fear of the future is eating away at the minds of many. Indeed, climate-related disasters and environmental catastrophes are causing a lot of confusion and worry about the future of the planet. Is it really that widespread? What's the best way to manage feelings of eco-anxiety? ⁠⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!⁠⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

Speculative science fiction really is a genre of its own. Some people love it, others find it pointless, but you can't deny the mental gymnastics involved in imagining the future of our societies, especially when some of those predictions turn out to be right.  In that field, there are a few writers who stand out above the rest: George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, and, perhaps most famously, Isaac Asimov.

November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption. All week long we'll be discussing anticonsumerist trends as an alternative to Black Friday. Zero waste is a good example of one that has become very popular in recent years. The practice helps reduce consumption of non-recyclables but it's also plain common sense. Let's look at some simple ways to recycle waste at home and also save some cash while you're at it. What about composting fruits and vegetables? What about food that has already gone bad?

Over on TikTok, the #idontchaseiattract hashtag is nearing in on 20,000 publications at the time of recording. It really took off in late 2023, especially after Kendall Jenner said the following in an interview with Enews.  Behind the simple statement are young women advocating that with enough belief, you can manifest whatever you want in life. You might have also heard of "Lucky girl syndrome" and "manifesting," which have also gone viral on Tiktok in the past, and are based on similar principles.  And these trendy ideas are essentially a modern spin on an age-old principle: the law of attraction, which gained popularity in the early 2000s within the realm of personal development. How exactly did the "law of attraction" come about then? Is there any scientific basis to these ideas? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

According to the Office for National Statistics, the number of births in the UK continues to fall. Experts are even talking about a “baby bust”, the opposite of the “baby boom”, to describe these statistics, which have reached the lowest level since records began in 1938. One explanation for this could be that people are having children later than previous generations, leaving them with a reduced fertility window. In 2020, the Office for National Statistics notes that the average age at which women become mothers is 30, compared with 26 in 1975. In addition to this, the latest ONS birth data, released in 2020, reveals that 28% of women have their first child after the age of 30 and 5% after the age of 40.

There's a lot of popular ideas out there about body hair removal. Shave too much and the hair becomes thicker. Wax, and it will gradually start thinning out. It can be hard to know who or what to believe. Both women and men increasingly spend a lot of their time and money removing body hair, even though it acts as a barrier to bacteria, and sexually transmitted diseases in the case of pubic hair. Shaving with a razor, using an electric epilator and waxing all have their own pros and cons. But let's take a moment to consider the rarely discussed topic of whether any of them pose health risks. Shaving for example is perhaps the most popular hair removal method due to how quick, easy and cheap it is. Using a razor is actually quite harsh on the skin though, and tends to dry it out in the long run. Depilatory creams are a gentler alternative, but they also contain certain hair-softening chemicals which can irritate the skin or worse, trigger an allergic reaction. Are there any risks associated with waxing? It is said that bikini waxing can be particularly harmful. Is that true? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is the global bike shortage? Thanks for asking! Cycling has enjoyed a huge boom since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Local authorities have increased efforts to prioritise cyclists over drivers, creating new bike lanes and making other investments in this form of transport. However, a shortage of bikes has been affecting the whole world since 2020. This supply chain nightmare is still going on in summer 2021, and may be for some time.  What's causing the global shortage?

This summer, relax and learn with Do You Really Know! It's time to learn all about the concepts, words and expressions that surround the summer season! What is a heat dome? The Pacific north-west is typically a mild region when it comes to weather. But in late June, Western Canada experienced record temperatures, with the province of British Columbia hit particularly hard. Temperatures are usually around 21° on the Pacific coast, but reached 49.5°C in Lytton, a village around 100 miles to the North-east of Vancouver. Cities on the other side of the border weren't spared either, with Portland and Seattle both seeing their respective record temperatures smashed. We're used to talk of heatwaves, but observers have labelled the latest situation a heat dome. What's the science behind these extreme temperatures? How dangerous is the heat dome? To what extent are heat domes due to climate change? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : ⁠Why do we get verrucas?⁠ ⁠What is climate shadow, the newest way to measure your impact on global warming?⁠ ⁠Why do our bodies need magnesium?⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

What are the Puppy Blues? You've no doubt already heard of the baby blues, a nice-sounding euphemism for the rather unpleasant postpartum depression. Well, some new pet owners have started talking of puppy blues in the same way, to describe the sadness they sometimes feel after adopting a new furry companion. The puppy blues might be behind increased animal abandonment rates during the summer. Additionally, Fortune magazine reported a week ago that many Americans are surrendering their pets now the time has come to return to the office. What is it like having the puppy blues?

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos stepped down from his position as the company's CEO to focus on other projects. He'll remain executive chairman at Amazon but now wants to dedicate more time to other projects, including his space tourism company Blue Origin.  Following that surprise announcement, British business magnate Richard Branson also declared his desire to go into space with his company Virgin Galactic. Some have labelled these developments as a new dawn for space tourism. So who's earning bragging rights in the billionaires' space race?How long has space tourism been around?

What are you most attracted to when looking for someone to date? Social status? A sense of humour? Good looks? Those are all positive traits for sure, but for sapioseuxals there's one quality which trumps all others, and that's intelligence. The word comes from the Latin word “sapien”, which means wise. Sapiosexuals don't fall in love at first sight or even through an emotional spark. Rather, they seduce one another through long and complex discussions. Their partners may well have a successful career and financial stability too, but it's the intelligence which really counts most. The brain has to be stimulated on an intellectual level before a sapiosexual would even consider the thought of physical intimacy. It's nothing new being attracted to someone who's intelligent, is it? Is sapiosexuality a sexual orientation in its own right? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Arranging your fridge isn't just a way to save space. It's primarily about ensuring optimal preservation of food products and thus preventing the proliferation of bacteria. According to UK Research and Innovation, there are around 2.4 million cases of foodborne illness in the country every year. First and foremost, it's important to know that fridges with ventilated or circulated cold air have a more consistent temperature than those with static cold air. In the latter case, the temperature varies based on the distance from the cold source, so you should start by identifying the coldest area of your fridge. What should be stored in the coldest part? Should packaging be removed? How should you be cleaning your fridge? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Trying to come up with a translation for the Finnish term sisu is a bit of a lost cause. Rotten Tomatoes described it as “a white-knuckled form of courage and unimaginable determination in the face of overwhelming odds.” while the BBC has defined it as “strength, perseverance in a task that for some may seem crazy to undertake, almost hopeless”.  It's not exactly resilience, because that comes after a setback. And it's not perseverance either which is more linked to a long term goal, whereas sisu really relates to a given moment in time. It could be finding the strength to have a complicated discussion with a superior at work for example, or attempting to resolve a conflict. Sisu is based on honesty and respect, to oneself and towards others.  So where does it come from? What are some examples of people who personified sisu?

Do you ever feel like you're always in a rush, constantly getting things done at the latest possible time? It could be paying a bill, cleaning our home or even recording a podcast! Well you're certainly not alone in that respect. According to Deacon Joseph Ferrari, who specialises in the area, 20% of us are chronic procrastinators. And a 2020 survey by Micro Biz Mag found that just 15.6% of people say they never procrastinate. So it's something that affects almost all of us from time to time. And of course it can be a cause of stress and anxiety when we actually get around to doing whatever it is we've been putting off. So let's discuss some ways of beating that pesky habit!  Why do we procrastinate anyway? If we're hardwired like that, does it mean that it's impossible to stop procrastinating?

It's not news that if you don't get a good nights sleep you will probably not be your best the next day, but while you are snoozing, particularly in deep sleep, your brain is not just powered down, it is busy cleaning out the days toxins, almost like it is ‘washing your brain' and getting it ready for the next day.   “Sleep is not just a state where things turn off. Sleep is a very active state for the brain – and it seems to be a special state for fluid flow within the brain,” says Laura Lewis, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at Boston University in the Guardian newspaper.  What happens if we don't get enough deep sleep? How can we boost our deep sleep?

Many men feel self-conscious about the size of their penis, and it's often down to constant comparisons with other men, driven by pornography. Interestingly, some men have noticed that their penis appears bigger during warmer weather, and online discussions of this have led to the phenomenon becoming known as "summer penis."

If you are a pet owner you know how hard it can be to leave your furry friend at home when you go to work. You may worry about their wellbeing, feel guilty for not spending enough time with them or miss their companionship. According to a BBC article, more than 3 million people in the UK have taken on a pet since the start of the pandemic. Many of them have enjoyed working from home with their furry companions and are reluctant to leave them behind when they return to the office.

It's back to school! DYRK is dedicating a special week to sport. Because moving and doing regular physical activity is important for our physical and mental health! Listen again to our episodes about sport! It's well known that we should all be doing half an hour of moderate physical activity every day. But sometimes our busy lifestyles make it difficult finding thirty consecutive minutes to do exercise. Sure, you could get up extra early in the morning, cut your lunch break short, or dig deep to find the needed energy and motivation for a post-work gym session. But a bitesized method called exercise snacking may be a simpler option when it comes to hitting your daily quota. Now obviously we're not talking about sweet or savoury snacks here; rather separating exercise into smaller chunks which are spread throughout the day. Is that really comparable to doing a full workout in one go? How can I adapt my day to fit in exercise snacking? ⁠⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠⁠Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Why were the queen's bees told of her death?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Do I have poor blood circulation?⁠⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

The term describes how characteristics like race, class, gender, sexual orientation and physical ability “intersect” when it comes to social discrimination.

November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption. According to the World Wildlife Foundation, roughly a third of all produced in the world goes to waste. What's more the United Nations' Food and Agricultural Organisation says that food waste accounts for a third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and 8% of greenhouse gas emissions in total. With that in mind, we might feel guilty when we don't finish our dinner, or leave something in the fridge for too long and have to throw it out. Where do these problems come from?

Most people who can afford to go on holiday tend to want to spend their time in glamorous, picturesque locations. But there are actually some people who choose to visit disadvantaged areas instead, to see the less glamorous side of countries that are often romanticised. This is known as ghetto tourism, or slum tourism, and it's been the subject of some quite fierce debate over the years. Some people see it as a form of voyeurism, a glimpse into others' struggles for personal gain. While others argue that it's a legitimate way of fostering understanding and empathy.

We all know that the effects of tobacco on the human body are devastating. The World Health Organisation says that it kills more than 8 million people each year, making it one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever seen. It's hardly surprising when you consider that cigarettes contain over 4,000 chemical substances, and at least 50 of them are carcinogens, meaning they are linked to an increased risk of cancer. Many people will attempt to quit smoking as part of their New year's resolutions, and we're here to provide some information on the best ways to do so. It seems so, at least according to the most recent large-scale study on the subject which was published by Jama Network Open in October 2022.  If I give up, will my body ever fully recover?

The windscreen phenomenon is the observation of the gradual disappearance of insects on the planet. If you regularly use your car for long trips, you're probably accustomed to seeing squashed flies, wasps and gnats on your windscreen from time to time.

Isn't not having to scrape dead insects off the windscreen a good thing? How can we be so sure that insects are disappearing? Could it just be an impression?

Do You Really Know, Bababam's daily podcast, helps you understand the true meaning behind the trends, concepts and acronyms that are making headlines. This week, we're looking back at 10 words and phrases that have been on everyone's lips in 2022. From the Uber Files leak to "shrinkflation" in stores or "quiet quitting" at work, refresh your memory on some of the events and phenomena that best sum up the year gone by.

There are an increasing number of trends and products out there to rid your body of toxins, such as infrared saunas, liver-purifying supplements and detox diets. But what exactly are toxins? According to the Cambridge Dictionary, a toxin is “a poisonous substance, especially one produced by bacteria, that causes disease.” However, today we tend to use the word toxin to refer to all the harmful substances present in the body such as food additives, pesticides, alcohol, gluten or pollutants. It's actually kind of misleading, because not all toxins are as bad as one might think. That's especially true when you consider that our bodies are capable of flushing out toxins on their own, without the need for any fancy treatments or supplements.  Which organs in the body are responsible for eliminating toxins? People say that you have to sweat to flush out toxins… is that true? Are we saying there's no need to flush toxins out after all?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

The online bullies have come up with a derogatory term for their targets; lolcows. Like cash cows, they are exploited, or milked, for entertainment purposes.  Longstanding American forum Kiwi Farms was shut down by Cloudflare in early September 2022. The reason: an “imminent and emergency threat to human life”, according to the internet infrastructure company. That's because the forum is pretty much dedicated to online harassment. This includes practices like group trolling, doxxing and cyberstalking. It can spill over into real-life harassment too. At least two victims have committed suicide since the site was created. Who was the first lolcow? What can we do about this bullying? ⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠Why should I avoid showering after a workout?⁠ ⁠How often should you wash your bedsheets?⁠ ⁠How can I keep my exercise eco-friendly?⁠ A Bababam Originals podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

You'd think a day spent lounging on the beach would be the ultimate recharge. No deadlines, no emails, just rest and relaxation. And yet, by the time you head home, you're wiped out. Not just relaxed, completely drained. It's supposed to be restful, so why does it feel like you've just run a marathon in flip-flops? It's not just the sun, it's the heat, the humidity, and the work your body puts in to stay cool. Even when you're lying still, your internal systems are hustling to keep your core temperature around 37°C. The hotter it gets, the harder your body has to work. How does the body manage that? At what point does heat become too much? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

It may be a little taboo to talk about it, but there are a lot of people out there who, for a variety of reasons, don't have as much sex as they would like, or arguably need. And there's actually a form of therapy out there which is specifically designed to help people become more comfortable with sex and intimacy. The idea of sex surrogacy started catching on in Europe in the 2000s, and these days it's actually regulated and even covered by social security in some countries, like Switzerland, Denmark and the Netherlands. Still, in many places it's a legal grey area, and raises a number of ethical questions to boot. For example it became a subject of debate in France in 2013, when a proposal was put forward to cover sex surrogacy expenses for disabled people. Why would someone need to use the services of a sex surrogate? What's the difference between a sex surrogate and a sex worker? ⁠⁠⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠⁠⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠⁠⁠Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Why were the queen's bees told of her death?⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Do I have poor blood circulation?⁠⁠⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

June 2025 saw the hottest days of the year so far in the UK, and those records could be broken again as we head deeper into summer. You'll hear people talking about the “glorious sunshine” and the “amazing weather.” And yes, sunlight can be a great mood booster. It also helps your body produce vitamin D, which is essential for healthy bones and a strong immune system. Plus, let's be honest: getting a tan is still considered attractive by many.

We spend a lot of time in bed and there is nothing nicer than snuggling up in clean fresh sheets but apparently not everyone feels the same. According to a survey commissioned by Pizuna Linens of over 2 thousand people in the UK  it was discovered that 45 percent of single men are happy to wait up to four months to wash their sheets with a horrifying 12 percent only doing it ‘when they remembered' so who knows how long they wait! Women were shown to have higher standards of hygiene  with 62 percent of single women washing their sheets every 2 weeks. But even this is just not enough with experts agreeing that you should wash your sheets at least once a week.  But why do you need to wash them so often?

It's back to school! Do You Really Know is dedicating a special week to sport. Because moving and doing regular physical activity is important for our physical and mental health! Listen again to our episodes about sport! One of the biggest challenges that we have been facing and will be continuing to face in the coming years is protecting our planet. So it's worth reflecting on how we can exercise in a more eco-friendly manner. We turn to exercise for leisure, entertainment and to stay fit and healthy, but not many people realize that the carbon footprint can be significant. Of course that's particularly true for high-profile international sporting events, like the FIFA World Cup, which is taking place in Qatar this winter. But even for the vast majority of us who aren't involved in professional competition, there are still things you can do to reduce the environmental impact of your exercise.  Well I've been a gym member for years now; that can't have much impact, can it?! What about clothing and accessories? ⁠⁠In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !⁠⁠ To listen to the latest episodes, click here: ⁠⁠Could insects replace meat?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Can exercise snacking help me beat a busy schedule to stay fit?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Will Star Wars: Andor live up to the hype?⁠⁠ A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.

When a woman is heavily pregnant, holiday or travel plans don't typically top the priority list. After all, flying isn't generally recommended during the latter stages of pregnancy. But that hasn't stopped the trend of birth tourism from developing. The basic idea is for a mother to give birth in a country different to where they live, essentially so that her child gets dual nationality. That may in turn lead to the parents also obtaining citizenship for the country.where their child is born. Over on Tiktok, the #birthtourism hashtag has already obtained over 19 million views.  Does that work in every country? What are the downsides? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is trauma dumping, the toxic equivalent of oversharing? It's common for good friends to tell each other about pretty much everything going on in their lives. Within healthy friendships, it's a way of bonding and supporting one another, especially when one of the friends is struggling. But sometimes this goes drastically overboard, and someone shares something really personal and traumatic without prior warning or getting permission. That kind of unsolicited oversharing has been labelled trauma dumping. Bear in mind trauma dumping is not a clinical term. It caught on online, after a woman, apparently a therapist, posted a video on Tiktok deriding one of her patients. She used the caption “When a client wants to trauma dump first session”. Wait a minute, aren't therapists supposed to be there to listen to your problems? What are the negative consequences of trauma dumping?

Feta cheese is undoubtedly a star ingredient when it comes to summer salads. It goes without saying it plays a starring role in the Greek salad, but it can also add a savoury taste to other recipes like the watermelon salad for example. Feta is one of Kate Middleton's favourites. But this summer feta isn't only getting attention by featuring in salad recipes. It's also made headlines in European political news, due to what was lightheartedly labelled the “feta battle” between Greece and Denmark. What are the characteristics of feta?

Voluntourism is the practice of volunteering one's labour to a charitable cause in a developing country, in return for a soul-cleansing, perspective-changing, CV-bolstering experience. Perhaps a bit cynical? But with good reason.  Whilst it could be a mutually beneficial redistribution of wealth from the developed world to the developing, voluntourism harbours a dark and exploitative underworld. In 2021, NPR.org reported that the industry was worth an estimated $3 billion per year, according to University of Strathclyde lecturer Konstantinos Tomazos. What is voluntourism?

Some visitors can be so shocked by the reality of Paris compared to their expectations that they can experience psychiatric breakdowns or symptoms such as hallucinations, depersonalization, anxiety, dizziness and nausea. This is known as the Paris Syndrome. Romance, sophistication, croissants and sipping fine wine with the Eiffel Tower in the background spring to mind when thinking of a visit to Paris. With such a romanticized notion of the French capital, it's no surprise that this remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, with 33 million expected in 2022, according to Le Monde. But it seems that the reality of Paris is more than what some visitors' stomachs can handle.

Reaching carbon net zero by 2050 is one of the main objectives in the struggle against global warming. It's also part of the Green New Deal the EU agreed upon in 2019. Since the start of 2022, many figures in agriculture have been pushing for a carbon farming policy which would see farmers rewarded for their efforts in sequestering carbon. It's about using agricultural fields to store CO2 in the ground. Plants first absorb it from the air through a process called photosynthesis. Then their roots and other parts decompose, being converted into soil carbon by microbes. Soil is in fact the second largest form of carbon sink on Earth, after the oceans and ahead of forests. The aim is to sequester carbon more quickly. That leads to a greater organic content in the ground, allowing for better water retention and a reduction in the use of fertilizers. How does carbon farming work?Why is agriculture in particular concerned by the net zero target? What is expected at a European level? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

To understand where white spots come from, we must first explain how nail growth works. If you've ever had white spots on your nails before, you may have been dismissively told that it's down to a lack of calcium or zinc. Basically, some mineral-deficiency. But this popular belief doesn't really have any basis in fact. According to Healthline, nails grow an average of 3 millimeters per month. Their composition is made up of keratin, a protein, and just 0.03% calcium. So white spots are certainly not just a calcium problem!  What is the color of a healthy nail?
