Which type of wine is best for your health?
When it comes to health, many people wonder which type of wine can most easily be enjoyed without needing to worry about negative health consequences. First things first, I hate to be a party pooper but let’s be clear: there’s no kind of alcohol that is actually “good” for your health.
So red wine does contain some antioxidants, which have reported health benefits. But senior dietitian and British Heart Foundation spokesperson Victoria Taylor says that “while it is often included in the traditional diet, it isn’t an essential part and should be drunk in moderation.”
So are dry reds the healthiest option then? What about rosé then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Is eating bread actually bad for you?
Bread has been a staple of the human diet for over 10,000 years, when our ancestors made flatbread by baking a mixture of flour and water in the sun.
To this day, the vast majority of us eat bread on a regular basis, and many of us eat it every day. But it’s been demonised to some extent in recent years, with many dieters saying it’s made up of “empty calories” and ditching it.
What is the nutritional makeup of bread? Brown bread is supposed to be the healthiest, isn’t it? How often should I eat bread? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

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!

How does viagra work?
Ever since it hit the market, the little blue pill known as viagra has transformed the sex lives of millions of couples around the world. Viagra was developed by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, and was first made available to the American public soon after FDA approval in March 1998. Within just two weeks, 15,000 prescriptions had been written in the United States.
An article published in the Pharmaceutical Journal in 2017 stated that at that time it had “been prescribed for more than 64 million men worldwide”, while a report by The Guardian from the same year said that the stigma around erectile dysfunction had faded, citing NHS figures which showed that viagra prescriptions had nearly tripled over the preceding decade.
How was viagra created? How does Viagra affect men's libido? Is Viagra suitable for all men? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Aquamation : what are the advantages of being buried in water?
Until recently when confronted with arranging a funeral there has been a choice between burial or cremation. However, in parts of the US, Canada and soon the UK a third choice can be possible.
Aquamation or as it is known technically “alkaline hydrolysis” is an alternative to traditional burials. The body of the deceased is placed in a pressurised stainless steel vessel and immersed in a mixture of water and alkali for three to four hours and heated to around 150C. During the process all the material is broken down leaving only the inorganic bone minerals which are then processed into powder and returned to the family in an urn.
What is aquamation? What is the advantage of aquamation? What are the disadvantages of aquamation? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How is micro-feminism helping women combat workplace sexism?
To all our female listeners: have you ever been a victim of misogyny in the workplace? Sadly, the chances are you have, given that a 2022 survey by recruitment agency Randstad found that 72% of women have “encountered inappropriate behaviour from male colleagues”, while 67% had experienced some form of gender discrimination.
But there are some simple everyday actions that can help us to counter sexism at work, and social media has recently been rife with discussion of these so-called micro-feminist acts. So the trend really began taking off when American producer and host Ashley Chaney posted a clip on Tiktok in late March 2024, talking about a couple of her own favourite examples of microfeminism.
What kind of actions are we talking about? How did microfeminism come to be so popular on TikTok? What’s the point of microfeminism? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
