Ep 200200. Black holes: the weirdest things in the universe

Becky Smethurst is an astrophysicist, author and youtuber with a huge channel called Dr. Becky. She has won all sorts of prizes in physics and astronomy, but her best ability is being able to break down that complex stuff into enjoyable, accessible and easy to understand bites for lay people like us. She talks today about what would happen if you fell into a black hole, what the science of Interstellar gets wrong, the movie, and what will happen at the end of the universe.

Ep 160160. Amanda Knox asks Andrew about paedophiles

This is episode number 160, and today I wanted to show you the episode in which Amanda Knox – a former guest on this podcast – and her husband Christopher Robinson – turn the mic on me. They interviewed me about my work on paedophilia for their brilliant and acclaimed podcast Labyrinths, and I was really impressed with the outcome. At the end of the episode with Amanda, I’m including one of my first ever interviews, with an 18-year-old paedophilie who is the class president at his school. If you’ve already heard it, I hope you don’t mind listening again, especially bearing in mind everything Amanda, Chris and I discussed. If you’ve not yet heard that interview, then prepare for something that is as creepy as it is rare and elucidating. It’s a pretty unique glimpse into the mind of a non offending paedophile.
