Show Notes
London’s disgusting Wet Wipe Island is finally set to be removed from the Thames, with work under way to excavate the estimated 180 tonnes of congealed waste near Hammersmith Bridge. We hear from John Sullivan, Thames Water’s Head of Tideway Integration Group, and Emily Carr, policy adviser at the independent think tank and charity Green Alliance, about how to prevent more waste from accumulating in the capital’s waterways.
And in part two, The Standard’s Head of Culture Martin Robinson joins us to discuss FX’s’s Alien:Earth series, which is released tomorrow, and the accompanying alien egg on display at London’s Natural History Museum.
