What is the Kintsugi philosophy? In Japanese, the word Kintsugi means golden repair. It’s a technique of repairing broken pottery using lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. The art of Kintsugi dates back to the 16th century and it’s a true ode to imperfection and fragility. It encourages us to handle objects with care, but also to accept breakage and repair as part of their history. How was Kintsugi created? And why does the repair take so long? But what does philosophy have to do with the craft? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: [WOMEN'S DAY] What is Cinderella complex?

Sex work is basically a term used for any practices involving a sexual service, whether physical or not, in exchange for money. Contrary to popular opinion, it’s not simply limited to prostitution. The term also includes lap dancing, phone sex, erotic massage and escort services for example. Not to mention online services like webcam performance and adult content creation. The term sex workers is sometimes abbreviated to SW. Where does the expression come from? What does it do? How does that fit in with the feminist movement?

We often resort to euphemisms when referring to it, like talking about Code Red or the time of the month. All week long we’ve been discussing women’s issues in honour of International Women’s Day, and this is another case where society needs to make progress. What causes such heavy bleeding?

Cinderella is perhaps the archetypal Disney princess, with her legacy living on generations after its cinema release in 1950. Indeed, American screenwriter Kay Cannon wrote and directed a romantic musical version of the old fairytale in autumn 2021. But poor Cinders has come in for slack from some quarters for being too dependent, and portraying an old-fashioned idea of femininity. In the 1980s, she even had a syndrome named after her. As part of our IWD 2022 celebrations, let’s consider how the Cinderella complex affects some women, and what can be done to continue progress in the area. Who theorised the Cinderella Complex then? What’s the link with Cinderella? Isn’t Cinderella an abuse victim though? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Imagine humanity only using half the brains at its disposal to solve the many scientific challenges it faces in the present and future. While such an idea might seem crazy, it’s not so far from reality. In recognition of International Women’s Day, which took place on Monday, let’s discuss a form of bias known as the Matilda Effect. Over the years, very few female scientists have got the same level of acclaim as their male counterparts, whether it be in the history books or on award winner lists. As a simple illustration, if you ask someone to name a female scientist, Marie Curie may well be the first name they come up with. Even so, her husband is often referenced as having contributed to her work, and she is rarely referred to by her last name alone. Where did the name Matilda effect come from? Do you have any examples of forgotten female scientists? What can we do to help these female scientists be remembered? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

When we go to work, we get paid a salary for our efforts, to put food on the table, pay the rent and bills and so on. But there’s a lot of other intangible responsibilities in daily life which go unrewarded. Remembering family birthdays, looking after kids or greeting people with a smile, for example. This kind of energy exertion often serves the purpose of addressing others’ feelings, making them comfortable, or simply meeting society’s expectations because we feel we have to. It’s been given the label of emotional labour, and it affects women disproportionately. All week long, we’re discussing themes which demonstrate the ongoing presence of gender inequalities in society. Simply smiling isn’t too much to ask, is it? Is this a new internet age concept then?

Society has traditionally put a lot of pressure on women to get pregnant, as if their lives were somehow a failure if they didn’t manage to have children, or chose not to. Believe it or not, it’s possible for a woman to experience physical pregnancy symptoms without actually having an embryo in her womb at all. It’s a rare psychiatric disorder known as a false pregnancy or pseudocyesis. Physical symptoms can be observed, like the interruption of the menstrual cycle, nausea, weight gain, secretion of colostrum from the mammary glands, a swollen stomach and even contractions in some cases. These symptoms only reinforce a patient’s impression that they are pregnant for real. What are the causes of a false pregnancy? How can we help a person who’s been through a false pregnancy?

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition which affects one in ten women. The main symptom is pelvic pain, which can be more intense during menstruation. Although it affects a relatively high proportion of women, the condition is commonly misdiagnosed. Each month, the womb lining thickens as part of the menstrual cycle. This is to prepare the womb to host a foetus in case of pregnancy. If no fertilization takes place, the lining detaches and is discharged from the body along with blood. But it’s totally normal to have painful cramps during menstruation, isn’t it? How do women “catch” endometriosis then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

And despite government policies aimed to ensure equality between women and men, the problem persists. Even if in your immediate environment, sexism seems to be gone for good, you may be thinking of sexism in its classical sense.

The movement is based on the relationship we have with our bodies, encouraging us to achieve self-acceptance. The drive took off in 1996 thanks to two American women. Elizabeth Scott, a psychotherapist, was contacted by Connie Sobczak, who was victim to an eating disorder at the time. In honour of her dead sister, Sobczak created the Body Positive movement along with Scott. The organisation encourages individuals to change the world, rather than feeling the need to change their bodies . The two founders continue to offer seminars and other group training sessions to this day. What does the movement really offer people to help with their body image? How are body positive posts immune to that treatment? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is an endemic? What is cholesterol?

What is an authoritarian regime? On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine, provoking a war. An authoritarian regime is a form of government which monopolises authority and restricts political freedoms. Such regimes have strong central power and little accountability to their population. Authoritarianism is effectively the opposite of democracy. The term has come back into the news of late, with the reelection of Alexander Lukashenko as President of Belarus. He will now serve a sixth consecutive term, having remained head of state since 1994. His regime is considered authoritarian. Indeed, international media often refer to Lukashenko as “Europe’s last dictator”. So what are the characteristics of an authoritarian regime? Are there many authoritarian regimes in the world today? And why don’t other countries take sanctions against them? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is a 419 scam?

What is the Donbas region? War has been raging in Ukraine since Russian forces invaded the country on February 24th. Understanding the conflict requires knowledge of the territory under attack, including specific regions like the Donbas, which you’ll have heard mentioned over and over again recently. It’s a 6500-square-mile region in eastern Ukraine, which shares a border with Russia to the east. Donbas’ three major cities are Mariupol, Donetsk and Lugansk, with the latter two being capitals of their respective provinces. Donbas is an abbreviation of Donets Coal basin, with the Donets being a river that crosses Ukraine and Russia; Donbas has not only the country’s major coal basin, but also its largest coal reserves and wheat fields. It was in the Donbas region that fighting first began back in 2014. So you’re saying there was already a war in Ukraine? How did the Donbas conflict evolve from then onwards? What consequences did the Donbas war have on the region? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is the Swift Network?

What is a 419 scam? You’ve almost certainly been targeted by 419 scams many times. They most commonly come in the form of an unknown sender requesting money by email. It’s also known as advance fee fraud, a kind of fraud which is as old as time, but has nevertheless seen a resurgence in the internet age. It’s often a rich heir who just happens to be stricken with an incurable illness, promising to share their wealth with you as long as you help with the first transaction. Another typical scenario involves a great aunt who can’t afford to pay her cancer treatment and therefore needs your support. Where does the 419 part come from? How do these scams work then?

What is the Barnum effect? Have you ever felt like your horoscope was written just for you? Or a fortune’s cookie advice seemed incredibly relevant? You may be surprised, but it’s actually not such a coincidence after all. This psychological phenomenon is known as the Barnum effect. It’s a cognitive bias that occurs when people believe that generic personality descriptions and statements apply specifically to them. It may explain how practices such as astrology, fortune telling and personality tests have become relatively accepted despite lacking any basis in fact. Of course, people offering such services may not be aware of the Barnum effect label, but many understand how it works and seek to exploit it for their gain. Where does the name come from?

What is an endemic? Despite the Omicron wave, many European countries are beginning to loosen Covid-related restrictions. Some have lifted health passes and relaxed travel restrictions, while others have reopened public places and put an end to facemask requirements. In England, as of February 24th, people with Covid-19 are no longer legally required to self-isolate. Governments and international orgnisations are now aiming for a shared vision, that of the pandemic evolving into an endemic. Do you mean that eventually, Covid-19 will become a disease like any other? Is it really wise to drop restrictions so quickly?

Just a couple of weeks ago, 90s catwalk star Linda Evangelista shared an emotional post on Instagram.

What is libido? First of all, let’s get it straight. Libido and sexual desire aren’t the same thing. Sexual desire is psychological, while libido is linked to hormone activity. Findigs from by the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles were released in May 2021. Reports indicated that intimacy between British couples had halved during the first Covid lockdown period. It wasn’t just the Brits affected though. Similar trends were observed elsewhere, like in the USA, India and Italy for example, each time backed up by real data. What can lead to a drop in libido then? What do each of those hormones do then?

What is cholesterol? We’ve all more or less got a vague idea of what cholesterol is. The thick waxy substance has gained a reputation as a silent killer, due to its link with heart problems and being impossible to detect without a blood test. But it’s also essential for many bodily functions. Cholesterol is a type of fat, so it can’t travel around the body on its own. It moves through our blood system attached to lipoproteins, which are either high-density or low-density. High-density lipoproteins, or HDL for short, is what’s known as ‘good cholesterol’. They absorb cholesterol and transport it from the arteries to the liver, where it is flushed from the body. Meanwhile, LDL is the so-called bad cholesterol. Do we talk about LDL more often then?

What is a Ponzi scheme? You may have seen the recently released Netflix documentary about the Tinder Swindler, Simon Leviev, or Shimon Hayut to give him his birth name. Between 2017 and 2019s, he conned a series of women out of their money, extorting nearly $10M in total. Leviev’s criminal activity is an example of what’s known as a Ponzi scheme. This form of fraud is named after Charles Ponzi, an Italian conman who operated in North America in the 1920s. How do these scams work then? Can you tell me more about Charles Ponzi himself?

What is Kingdom Hearts? In today’s episode, we’re talking about a video game concept that might seem like the stuff of fan fiction, but nevertheless became a reality. Kingdom Hearts was first released on the PS2 twenty years ago and it’s a meeting of two universes that really have nothing to do with each other: Disney animations and Final Fantasy, Japan’s best known RPG franchise. The series has been making headlines of late too, with the release of the Integram Masterpiece for Cloud bundle on Nintendo Switch. OK, it’s not the catchiest of names, but it’s actually a collection of almost the entirety of the saga’s previous titles. How did such an unlikely project come to be? What makes the saga so special?

This time it’s the turn of Death on the Nile to get the big-screen treatment. Let’s take the time to reflect on Agatha’s Christie legacy.

More and more celebrities are talking about their sexuality. Just two weeks ago, Demi Lovato talked about being pansexual during an interview with Joe Rogan. According to Kim Rice, who wrote the Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality in 2015, pansexuality can be defined as sexual, emotional, romantic or spiritual attraction for other people, regardless of their biological sex, gender identity or sexual orientation. This sexual orientation is still pretty unknown, but Demi Lovato is far from being the only public figure to have claimed it. Others include Cara Delevingne and Miley Cyrus. Isn’t that the same thing as being bisexual? Is the term pansexual a little more inclusive? But why do some people feel this need to identify as something and find a name for it?

Back in 2018, an online study of 7,000 Swiss young adults was published, centring on their sexual interactions. It found that many young women accepted having sex not beause they really wanted to, but because they felt they had to please their partner. 53% of women surveyed said they had done so, compared to just 23% among men. The findings reflect how society has normalised male sexual entitlement. It’s the feeling that women’s sexuality is owed to men, in order to give them pleasure. That women should have sex even if they don’t want to. Regardless of how much money someone spent money on you, how nice they were to you or how much of a great time you had together, there are no situations in which you owe someone sex. But sadly, it’s the kind of feeling that can take over. How do you explain that women feel that way? Does letting someone buy you a drink really equate to promising sex? What about consent? How do we get out of this pattern? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is female viagra? What is demisexuality? What is sologamy?

It’s been over two decades now since viagra was first approved for use in 1998, the little blue pill from Pfizer becoming the first oral treatment for erectile dysfunction. Its use has steadily increased over the years, with the NHS reporting just under 3 million prescriptions in 2016, compared to 1 million in 2006. Its success has led pharmaceutical companies to look for a female equivalent. In 2015, the American Food & Drug Authority approved a pink pill called Flibanserin, marketed as Addyi, which became known as female viagra. How does it work?

Being asexual means different things to different people. Generally speaking, asexuality refers to the persistent lack of interest in sexual activity. One of the main criteria is not feeling any sexual attraction towards other people. Asexuality can be considered a sexual orientation, or a lack of sexual orientation. Awareness and acceptance of asexuality is still relatively recent, but a developing body of research is growing, from both psychological and sociological perspectives. So is being asexual the same as being abstinent? Do asexuals stay single for their entire lives? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

As regular listeners know, there are a wide range of human sexualities. For some people, wanting to have sex with someone results directly from physical chemistry, attraction and desire. But for others, a deep emotional bond or spiritual connection is required before any kind of sexual feelings can happen. Demisexuality is seen as being on the asexuality spectrum, kind of halfway between asexuality and allosexuality, which means those who do feel sexual attraction towards others. Like with many emerging sexualities, there’s been a lot of skepticism and misunderstanding, but discussions around demisexuality have helped many people better accept themselves and put a name on their sexual orientation. How did the term demisexuality start being used? But don’t most people need an emotional connection before things get physical? How can you tell if you are demisexual?

Pretty much every romantic relationship starts out with a first date, whether it's online, on an outdoor walk, over drinks or at a restaurant. But it turns out when some people choose the latter option, they may have a hidden agenda. Sneating is a dubious new dating trend, whereby a person accepts a restaurant date with the sole intention of dining out on someone else’s dime. It's a contraction of the words "sneaky" and "eating", so the meaning is pretty obvious. You go on the date, eat for free and then never contact the person who footed the restaurant bill. How did this become a thing? Why do that though? Sneating is still a little wrong though isn't it? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

This annual celebration of love and passion needs no introduction. Among those who partake in Valentine's Day, you’ve got those who go all out every year, never failing to honour the occasion and make sure everyone knows about it. Then there are others who prefer a quiet romantic night in with their partner. At the other end of the scale, some people sulk instead, telling anyone who’ll listen just how pointless or old-fashioned the whole thing is. In modern times, Valentine’s Day is certainly a highly commercialised holiday, but believe it or not, its origins go back nearly 2000 years and are influenced by Pagan and Christian rituals. So who is this Saint Valentine anyway? Wait a minute, he was executed and now he's celebrated? How did the Valentine's Day traditions evolve from then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

According to Business of Apps, it has over 75 million monthly active users, making it the most used dating app worldwide.

What is CBD? CBD is short for Cannabidiol, which is one of the chemical components found in cannabis. Not being psychoactive, CBD is legal in many countries. But it’s also claimed that CBD has several health benefits. That’s why demand has been growing around the world for a few years now. Cannabis is illegal in most countries, mainly because it contains the psychoactive chemical Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC for short. But cannabis also contains CBD, which has an almost identical structure to THC, just without causing a high. Furthermore, the greater the quantity of CBD in cannabis, the lower the effect of THC on the brain. That’s because it doesn’t directly trigger the cannabinoid receptors found in our bodies. If it doesn’t give you a high, I guess not a lot of people are interested in it… So what’s the fuss about CBD then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is a tumour? The word tumour comes directly from the Latin word for “swelling”. A tumour appears when a group of cells multiply and form a mass.

These can be, for example, moles or warts. Can benign tumours develop anywhere in the body? What about malignant ones? How do you diagnose a malignant tumour?

What is a blockbuster? A lot of words have become so common in everyday language that we don’t even give any thought to where they came from and what they originally meant. One such word is blockbuster; a term mostly associated with the kind of eagerly-awaited films we all go to see at the cinema. But it’s also used in other areas, such as sporting events, video games or even pharmaceutical products. So where did the word come from and how did it end up being used to describe films?

What is intersectionality? Discrimination comes in many forms, but it’s important to remember and acknowledge that every marginalised person has their own unique experience of discrimination. Furthermore, the oppression they face may relate to a single social category, like race, class, gender, physical ability or sexual orientation for example, or it may relate to several different categories. For example, experiences of racism are not the same for the rich and the poor, sexism is not the same for black and white women. But what is the origin of the concept? How has intersectionality come back under the spotlight? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is Galentine's Day? What is Pokémon?

What is multiple sclerosis? A study published in Science magazine on January 13th has led to hope that a treatment for multiple sclerosis may be developed. It showed a link between the presence of the Epstein Barr virus, which leads to glandular fever, and the onset of multiple sclerosis. Let’s take a minute to discuss this autoimmune disease. First discovered by renowned French neurologist Professor Charcot in 1868, it is known for attacking the nervous system. When a person has multiple sclerosis, their immune system, which usually fights viruses and bacteria, loses control and instead attacks myelin, a sheath protecting the all-important nerve fibers which spread the brain’s nervous impulses around the body. Can you tell me more about the recent study currently making headlines? What kind of treatment should we expect to see? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What is the Olympic flame? The 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing have begun, let’s look at one of the Games’ iconic symbols, the Olympic flame, and how it spreads the values of the Olympic movement. It brings a sense of identity to the Games, much like the Olympic rings and its Latin motto Citius Altius Fortius. Throughout the Games, the flame burns inside the Olympic stadium, symbolising the ideals of peace and friendship between people. The flame is a reminder of the Games of ancient Greek times, when messengers travelled from city to city announcing competition dates, as well as calling for a sacred Olympic truce. This meant all conflicts ceased, allowing athletes and spectators to travel to Olympia. Of course in 2021, the coronavirus hasn’t agreed to any truce, so the Tokyo Games are being organised under strict measures. Are you saying the history of the Olympics is linked to Ancient Greece? What happens once the flame is lit? What happens if the flame goes out? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: What is the offside rule?

What is polycystic ovary syndrome? Polycystic ovary syndrome, also called PCOS, is related to hormonal imbalances in women’s bodies. It’s the leading cause of fertility problems in women and affects one in ten women of childbearing age in the UK, according to the NHS. Despite that, there is very little awareness about the condition. The most important thing there is to know about PCOS is that it leads to excessive production of androgen hormones, especially testosterone. High testosterone levels in women disrupt the ovarian cycle and, in particular, the development of fluid-filled sacs called follicles in the ovaries. How does it affect the body, apart from causing cysts? Is the disease still understudied? Do we know why some women produce too many androgens? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
