  • Episode 72: Interview with Dr Lambourne
    Following our previous episode, Dr Lambourne agreed to speak with us and discuss the fertility crisis, migration, and our thoughts on his book.
    Honestly, this went much more civilly than I think either of us expected.
    Make sure you listen to the previous episode to understand why we're talking about porn, population health and how stimulating Henry Cavill is.
