Thinking Out Loud is the podcast where there are no stupid questions. Every episode, Konnie Huq and her best mate Liz Owens pick a big topic, and share what they know (or what they think they know). Then, they invite a bona fide expert into the studio, to correct mistakes, answer questions, and teach us all some interesting facts. Think of it like a cross between your favourite class at school and a really interesting chat down the pub! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

With the exception of that last question, Behavioural Scientist, Richard Shotton, informs us about how much freewill we really have in the supermarket.
