Never has "truth" been under greater scrutiny than in the past months leading up to Donald Trump's re-election to the Presidency last week. It seems that every side of every debate claims to be speaking the truth, and accuses their opponents of spreading disinformation or downright lying. No matter what the issue, not everyone can be right, can they? So how do you discern what you can believe and what you can't. Our guest this week, Lindley Gooden, has written The Future of Truth: And How to Get There. Drawing on his many years as a journalist, Lindley offers some tips and techniques anyone can apply to check the veracity of what they read, are told and what they see. As Lindley tells us, these techniques have never been more needed.

Also this week, we discuss why Jamie Oliver has been forced to withdraw his latest children's book from sale worldwide, and we run through the shortlist for the world's weirdest book titles this year.
