The Stories Podcast is a collection of investigative podcasts which aim to provide a doorway into stories that interest me and, I hope, will also interest you.
Why are we so afraid of "nice people", when we all say that we want to share our lives with them? It all sounds so plausible, yet are we lying to our faces when we say so?
"We all say we want to be with someone "nice". It all sounds so plausible, easy and especially comforting to know that other people think so too."
Why do we disagree vehemently at certain opinions on the internet, and not others? Are we intrinsically designed to want to be right?
"Who are we when we are not right, when most of our lives are spent finding out all the possibilities where we could be wrong?"
Is modern education becoming more irrelevant, with exams testing solely memory? Are we better off with practicality?
What impact has the internet made on our lives? Are we really becoming a generation locked to our screens?
"We're a generation of screen-gazers, and to stop it would be our greatest achievement and our greatest mistake."
