This week, John Burn-Murdoch sits in for Amol to speak to Professor Sir John Bell, one of Britain's leading medical scientists, about the huge (and often undiscussed) medical breakthroughs changing how we live, age and die. Medical advances have already added 12 years to average life expectancy in the UK in the last 50 years. But the next revolution may be even more radical: earlier cancer detection, personalised vaccines, obesity drugs, AI-driven prevention and treatments that could keep us healthier for longer. But with the science and technology moving this fast, can the health service, the economy, and the public keep up?GET IN TOUCH    WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480  Email: radical@bbc.co.uk  Episodes of Radical with Amol Rajan are released every Thursday and Monday.

Are young men and women being pushed further apart? Recent polling by Merlin Strategies for the New Statesman suggests a growing divide: Gen Z women are less likely than their male peers to describe themselves as “happy”, “ambitious”, “excited” or “fulfilled, and only 35% of women under 25 say they have a positive view of men. Professor of Media and Communications at Loughborough University, Dr Jilly Kay argues that digital platforms are accelerating a new era of gender polarisation. In this special edition of Radical, guest hosted by historian and academic Dr Eliza Filby, Jilly explains why she coined the term “femosphere” to describe online communities in which women are encouraged to see men as inherently problematic, avoid casual dating, and exploit male attention for financial gain. Jilly and Eliza explore why a generation raised online feels increasingly powerless amid economic insecurity and social fragmentation, and ask what solutions might exist for a culture shaped by pessimism, alienation and division.

This week, Amol speaks to Matt Clifford, co-founder of Entrepreneurs First and former AI adviser to Number 10. Matt's radical idea is simple; he wants to make Britain wealthy again by supercharging economic growth. He argues that economic stagnation has left the UK with flat living standards and wages. In short, he says, Britain needs a pay rise - and the way to get it is through a rapid adoption of AI, and backing entrepreneurs. But what are the challenges?

From growing up in East London to building global businesses, she makes the case that opportunity still exists, if you're willing to chase it. But are her ideas liberating - or just unforgiving?

As the Senior News Editor at New Scientist, she joined Robb and Josh in exploring anthropomorphism and AI. Sophie's work reminds us that our introduction to pocket computers came with the heavily anthropomorphized Tamagotchi pets of the late '90s. As we head into the era of conversational machines, Sophie brings her insights to a conversation about the pros and cons of making them human-like across a whole range of scenarios, including those geared toward productivity and entertainment. The correlations and similarities between corporations and AI pose both ethical considerations as well as design challenges, and this discussion draws on Sophie's extensive background in technology reporting to look for answers.

This week on Casual Magic, I'm joined by IGN's Senior News Editor (and very dear friend of mine) Kat Bailey to discuss Magic and Microtransactions, and how it lines up with the Video Games industry! This episode was brought to you by CoolStuffInc, Archidekt, and Quiver!

Rachel Krantz, the author of Open: An Uncensored Memoir of Love, Liberation, and Non-monogamy joins us as we continue the discussion from the previous episode about grooming in the kink scene. However, in this episode, we broaden the conversation by including non-monogamy and we deepen it by exploring Rachel's first- hand experience with it. In the past, all three of us, Rachel, Sunny and myself, have been in kink and/or non-monogamous relationships that we came to realize had some toxic patterns of manipulation, grooming, gas lighting, etc. in them. Often such relationships are mixed with amazing highs that keep one hooked and brutal lows that leave one crushed. It is our hope that listeners who are currently in such relationships or healing from one might benefit from the insights in this episode. We start in the thick of it…that time when Rachel was immersed in such a relationship, including the strong emotional tidal pulls that are make such a relationship addictive, sexy, intoxicating, but deeply torturous. And then we can move to the first few years after getting free, followed by where Rachel finds herself now and finally, who she wants to become. Perhaps in doing so, the three of us can provide a road map, some coping tools, or at least some hope for someone who feels lost in this pattern within kink and/or non-monogamy. We hope that you join us for this vulnerable, bold and honest episode as once again, we dare to open deeply. Rachel's Bio: Rachel Krantz is the author of the reported memoir, OPEN: AN UNCENSORED MEMOIR OF LOVE, LIBERATION, AND NON-MONOGAMY, which is a 2023 Lambda Award finalist.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed former governor general David Johnston to look into allegations that China interfered in our 2021 election. Johnston, of course, comes with an impressive resume and is very well respected, however there are potential red flags including the fact that he is a member of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation. The official opposition parties are also still calling on Trudeau's government to launch a public inquiry. Our panelists react to the latest. ---- THE PROBLEM WITH NDP CANDIDATE SARAH JAMA Libby Znaimer is joined by Michael Levitt, President and CEO Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies. Ontario NDP candidate Sarah Jama is running to take over Hamilton Centre (Andrea Horwath's old riding) in a provincial byelection today. There's just one problem: according to a number of Jewish organizations, she has expressed antisemitic views. These organizations want her to step down and apologize for her past public comments about Israel and for her support of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement. The NDP have since stated that Sarah Jama is an advocate against antisemitism and any form of racism. But, this has us scratching our heads and wondering whether anything will be done to hold the candidate accountable for her past actions. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Senior Director of Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. This week: The CEO's of Canada's largest grocery retailers have testified in front of the agricultural committee in the House of Commons. The heads of Loblaw and Empire Foods pushed back against allegations that they are profiting from inflation and price gouging their customers. And, remember that price freeze that Galen Weston put on no name products a few months back? Galen brought it up and said that its saved grocery shoppers as much as $45 million at check out during the three months that the deal was in place.

A new poll published by Scotiabank shows that Canadians spend, on average, 15 hours per week worrying about their personal finances (up ten hours from last year), which equates to about 31 days per year.

Meanwhile, Premier Doug Ford openly said that it would be a disaster if a "lefty Mayor'' replaced Tory.

We all know that food inflation is rampant and outpacing overall inflation. And, there is a big debate about whether the large grocers are taking advantage and profiting excessively. After all, some of them have been reporting record profits. The likes of Loblaw Companies and Sobey's deny this vigorously - not everyone believes them. David has studied where that money is going.

Also increasing are TTC fares --by 10 cents-- and the City is going to provide the transit system with more money to hire 50 additional police constables especially since violent crime has gone up on buses and subways including deadly attacks on women. Our panel weighs in on the latest. ---- BOLSTERING SECURITY ON THE TTC Jane Brown is now joined by Stuart Green, Senior spokesperson for Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and Shelagh Pizey-Allen, Executive Director of TTC Riders. Our guests weigh in on the TTC's decision to increase fares by 10 cents and on top of that security will be bolstered on the transit system, as discussed in the previous segment, to combat the rise in security incidents that have taken place--some even deadly. ---- GALEN WESTON'S CHICKEN BREAST Jane Brown is now joined by Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, Senior Director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. A local Toronto woman was shocked when she spotted a 5-piece pack of chicken breast for $37.03 at Loblaws. When she posted the photo of the product on social media, people complained about it and described it as "price-gouging".  When the woman, a journalist, reached out to Loblaws for an explanation, they said the price was justified on the basis that the poultry was from their premium line. Sylvain weighs in on this and on the criticism that the large grocery retailers engage in "Greedflation". Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

TUNE IN TO THE TOWN It's time to Tune In To The Town on Fight Back, and there's a lot to unpack! Toronto councillors have voted to approve Mayor John Tory's request for a report back on his 2023 housing action plan; amid this…Tory is dismissing concerns over his extraordinary new powers as mere “political theatre” of no interest to regular Torontonians. All this, as Toronto residents brace for a looming vacancy tax…AND a wintery walloping. Jane Brown is joined by Karen Stintz, CEO at Variety Village; David Crombie, former Mayor of Toronto; and Lauren O'Neil, Senior News Editor of BlogTO to dig into these issues. DELAYS IN ONTARIO'S PAP TEST RESULTS Jane Brown is joined by Dr. Yolanda Kirkham, Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto and obstetrician gynecologist at Unity Health Toronto to discuss the concerning delay in pap test results in the province of Ontario. DRIVING IN THE FIRST WINTER WALLOPING Environment Canada says “Batten down the hatches!”...with warnings and advisories in effect across the GTA for freezing rain and significant snow on the way. Jane Brown is joined by Sgt. Kerry Schmidt of the OPP Highway Safety Division to talk road safety amid the potential wintery walloping we're in for.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Lauren O'Neil, Senior News Editor of BlogTO, and former mayors of Toronto David Crombie and John Sewell. Today we have two of the five former mayors of Toronto that penned an open letter to current Mayor John Tory asking him to give back those extra powers that they deem not democratic. Tory said he's looking at the letter. Meanwhile, yesterday was the first day for Toronto City council. ---- PROVINCE ASKS FAMILY DOCTORS & CLINICS TO OFFER EXTENDED HOURS TO PATIENTS Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Tara Kiran, a family doctor and researcher at St. Michaels Hospital in Toronto and Dr. Jason Profetto, a family doctor with Profetto Savatteri Family Medicine in Hamilton. . The province sent out a memo asking family doctors and clinics to extend their hours into evenings and weekends until further notice in order to help alleviate the pressures that children's hospitals are currently facing. ---- CITY OF BURLINGTON REQUIRES ITS EMPLOYEES TO MASK UP Libby Znaimer is joined by Marianne Meed Ward, the Mayor of Burlington. The City of Burlington is requiring all of its employees (with some exceptions) to wear masks while in its facilities. However, the general public will not be subject to this same requirement. The mask policy is being implemented because, according to the mayor, the illness rate has increased among City staff making it challenging for city services to be delivered and causing burnout among remaining staff who have been covering for their sick colleagues. The mask requirement will be in place for the next six weeks and will be reviewed again then. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Libby Znaimer is joined by Lauren O'Neil, Senior News Editor of BlogTO, David Crombie, Former Mayor of Toronto,  and Karen Stintz, CEO, Variety Village. The Ford government has introduced new legislation that would give it a tighter grip over regional governance and provide the mayors of both Ottawa and Toronto with greater power that involves being able to pass by-laws aligned with the government's priorities with just a third of council support. The province says it wants to do this to cut red tape when it comes to confronting issues like housing. Meanwhile, David and other former Mayors of Toronto including John Sewell wrote a piece in the Toronto Star arguing that the province is doing a disservice to municipal governments. ---- CUPE VS THE PROVINCE: THOUSANDS OF ED WORKERS TO RESUME STRIKE ON MONDAY Libby Znaimer is joined by Fred Hahn, President of CUPE. CUPE will resume striking next Monday because they are still not happy with any kind of offer from the Ford government for better wages on behalf of thousands of education workers. Fred details what went wrong at the bargaining table. And, we hear from listeners about whether this strike is going to affect their families. ---- CHINA'S XI JINPING CONFRONTS TRUDEAU AT G20 Libby Znaimer is now joined by  Dr. Stephen Saideman, Paterson Chair in International Affairs at Carleton University. China's Xi Jinping, with the help of an interpreter, publicly confronted PM Justin Trudeau  at the G20. In the brief encounter that was televised, Xi criticized Trudeau for leaking information of their discussion and that whatever was presented to the media was inaccurate and inappropriate. Some experts argue that this move by the Chinese President shows the disregard he has for Canada's leader. Stephen reacts to the moment and weighs in on what it says about Canada's relationship with China. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!
