We help you learn lots of topics!
The aim: To have a conversation with anyone about anything.
This can be a really useful skill to have and something you can use in all aspects of your day to day life. Be that at the pub with friends, during a job interview, or speaking with your boss at work.
In this podcast we will cover a wide range of topics. We will hopefully introduce you to new topics, books or concepts that we think will be useful to learn.
So you know we are not experts in the subjects we cover, we have one week to read and research the topic.
This is then a summary of the research and reading we have done.
We do the hard work, then share what we think is the most useful information for you to know!
Once you have listened we would love to hear your thoughts or any feedback.

Mosquitoes
This week's topic is Mosquitos....that's right those annoying little flies that like to bite you at night.
Their bites are irritating and itchy! They can have you chasing them around a room attempting to swat them, for a long time, with the uncanny ability to dodge your swatting attempts over and over again. Plus they have persistent buzzing wings, so you can usually hear they are nearby before you can see them!
Hear us discuss:
Where to they rank as killers?Why do they bite us?How are they attracted to us?How to prevent them?Genetically modified mosquitoesWhy don't they get ill with the diseases they carry?
