Highly exposed to volatile fossil fuel prices and intensifying climate change, island nations around the world are starting to ask: could they make a fortune from the gusty seas that surround them?

Is this social media's 'Big Tobacco moment'?

We look at the fallout from the recent court case which found Meta and Google liable for harming the mental health of one their young users and deliberately making their platforms addictive. Some have suggested this is “a tobacco moment” for Big Tech – comparable to the time when cigarette companies were forced to acknowledge that their products were harmful. We ask if social media companies should be brought into line, and if they can be. And if reforms are agreed, what would a responsible social media landscape look like?

After Liberation Day: Who is footing the tariffs bill?

For nearly 12 months, a raft of import duties - tariffs - have made it much more expensive to ship consumer goods into the United States. They have shaken up global trade and according to the Federal Reserve, significantly raised inflation. But who is really footing the bill for all of them?

The comedy podcast that takes history seriously. In each episode of You’re Dead to Me from BBC Radio 4, Greg Jenner is joined by a comedian and an expert historian to learn and laugh about the past. History isn’t just about dates and textbooks – it’s about extraordinary characters, amazing stories, and some very questionable fashion choices. How long did it take to build an Egyptian pyramid? What does the Bayeux Tapestry reveal about medieval life? Why did it take nearly half a millennium for Joan of Arc to become a saint? And was Catherine the Great really all that great? Whether you want to explore ancient landmarks like Stonehenge and Machu Picchu, dance through the history of Broadway and Bollywood, or find out how the Tudors rose to power, Greg and his guests promise to teach you something new that you won’t have heard in history lessons. Previous episodes of You’re Dead To Me have covered everything from royals to revolutionaries, actors to activists and divas to dictators. Take a stroll through the history of high-heeled shoes or get the scoop on the history of ice cream. Maybe you’d like to paint like the cave artists of the Palaeolithic era, work out like a Victorian bodybuilder, or fight like a Spartan? We’ve even hosted a special, live episode with the BBC Concert Orchestra to explore the dramatic life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Whatever your historical interests, Greg and his guests make even the trickiest topics easy to follow. Join them for a history lesson that’s as entertaining as it is enlightening - with no homework required.

HISTORIA
Artemis and the return to the Moon. The BBC’s space podcast is following Artemis II, with an episode every day during the mission. Nasa is returning to the Moon for the first time in more than half a century. The Artemis II mission is sending astronauts – on a spacecraft called Orion - to loop around the Moon and to go further from Earth than any human in history. The story of Artemis II is being told by space scientist, Maggie Aderin, and British astronaut, Tim Peake. They are joined by expert contributors, US space journalist Kristin Fisher and the BBC News Science Editor, Rebecca Morelle. Orion’s crew is Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen. The last crewed mission to The Moon was Apollo 17 in 1972. 13 Minutes is the BBC’s space podcast, telling epic space stories. It’s produced by the BBC Audio Science Unit for the BBC World Service. Theme music by Hans Zimmer and Christian Lundberg and produced by Russell Emanuel, for Bleeding Fingers Music. Previous seasons: Season 1: 13 Minutes to the Moon. The first Moon landing. In the final dramatic 13-minute descent to the Moon, the Apollo 11 mission came close to going badly wrong. Communication was breaking down, technology was failing and fuel was running out. This is the story of how the first Moon landing was saved. Presented by Kevin Fong. Season 2: Apollo 13. Apollo 13 should have been the third Moon landing, but after an explosion, it almost ended in tragedy. Told by the people who flew it and saved it. Presented and co-written by Kevin Fong. Season 3: The Space Shuttle. A sci-fi dream that changed spaceflight forever. From the boldest test flight in history to one of Nasa’s darkest days – the Challenger disaster. Space scientist Maggie Aderin tells the awe-inspiring story of the programme that brought triumph and tragedy. Some scenes in this series use recreated sound effects.

Latinoamérica democracias de Patricios

Excelente programación ... sigan ingual Keep on doing same.. If it possible ... Me encantaría si pudiesen hablar ahora de Latinoamérica y en especial de Mexico mi país. Tenemos libertades y democracia, pero con grandes fallas en terrenos de seguridad, participación y con grandes incógnitas en la economía. Todo creo es por que nuestras Republicas son siempre gobernadas por los mismos (patricios de la política) y que nunca dejan el poder Si investigan descubrirán a familias que se dedican a ello por tradición familiar El problema débiles esquemas para que participemos como ciudadanos ... Best of all my BBC friends you are my commute companion now for a couple of years.
Interesting first, but very repetitive after a while

I really liked this podcast when I first discovered it. However, after listening to it for a few months without missing an episode my opinion started to change.The large majority of episodes deal on three subjects: the Euro crisis, the US economy or China's economy (eventually some other asian country), leaving a smaller number of episodes to cover other subjects. I don't know if they do it because of the target audience (mostly americans and/or europeans?). I don't know if it has to do with British nationalism, but in occasions I have the impression that some of the commentators almost rejoice when talking about the Euro (currency) crisis, when I hear such comments I definitely do not perceive a neutral standpoint from the presenter, which I would expect. I still listen to it often, but when I hear an episode presenting something I consider I've recently heard, I feel like moving on.
