  • S01 E24: Eurovision - Refracted World with Terry Geo

    As tomorrow is the grand final of the Eurovision Song

    Contest, I thought there was no better time to talk about the history of the world’s longest-running televised music competition. And also talk about why it's know in the LGBTQIA+ community as the gay olympics.

  • S01 E23: Are We Living in a Simulation? - Refracted World with Terry Geo

    This is a ridiculous question. Of course we’re not living

    in a simulation. I can think, I can see, I can smell, I can love, I can decide what I want to eat, where I want to walk to and who I want to interact with. I have memories, I can learn – in essence I am a flesh and blood human being, living on a planet in an almost infinite universe, that we can observe. Surely that proves we are not in a simulation. So if I know all of this and you know all of this, why does the question keep popping up, why are so many scientists and philosophers obsessed with the question and why is it that every year the
    likelihood that we are in a simulation becomes greater… Let’s explore!

  • S01 E22: The First Trans Person - Refracted World with Terry Geo

    Last week we dove into the history of gay men and this week we're doing the same with transgender people. How far back do records go? Who was the first trans person to be documented?

    1950s? 1850s? Think a lot further back.

    In today's episode, we travel through the timeline of our species to discover the answer and just like last week, you may feel pretty emotional by the end. I certainly was.

  • S01 E21: The First Gay Man - Refracted World with Terry Geo

    Who was the first gay man? Was it Oscar Wilde in the 19th Century - or further back to the Renaissance with artists like Michaelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci?

    In today's episode we take a look at the history of

    homosexuality. Is it a relatively new phenomena or has it been around a while?

  • S01 E20: Open Your Mind - Refracted World with Terry Geo

    Many people now spend most of our lives on social media. When interviewed, a lot of young people say they even get their news from social media. And whereas there are interesting and informative articles and videos, they are mingled with so much filler, it's difficult to learn anything.

    But learning is what our brains crave and now there are so many ways we can expand our minds in just a few minutes a day - without it being boring.

  • S01 E19: The Faceless - Refracted World with Terry Geo

    What would you do if you were in a park with friends and people in masks started harrassing you? Calling you racist, sexist or homophobic slurs. Telling you they will hurt you or for you to hurt yourself.

    In today's episode we'll be discussing The Faceless and what we can do to about them.

  • S01 E18: Love is Love Legally - Refracted World with Terry Geo

    Today is the 29th March 2024 which is exactly ten years since same-sex marriage was legalised in England and Wales. Scotland was a little slower, passing the law in December 2014 and Northern Ireland was a lot slower, only passing the law in 2020, just four years ago. But that does

    mean that same-sex marriage is now legal in the entire United Kingdom.

    Today we celebrate the anniversary, talking about same-sex marriage around the globe and just how much work needs to be done before we reach global equality.

  • S01 E17: How the Egyptians REALLY Built the Pyramids - Refracted World with Terry Geo

    How did the Egyptians build the pyramids thousands of years ago using sticks and stones when we barely have the technology to build them today?

    For the first time ever, I will reveal the truth. It will shock many of you and at first will be so incredible you will not believe it. But just give me 20 minutes of your day and I will prove to you the truth on this week’s podcast, entitled: How the Egyptians REALLY built the pyramids.

  • S01 E16: Are We Still Talking About Covid? - Refracted World with Terry Geo

    I was in Yorkshire two weeks ago and once back home, my brother tested positive for Covid. Knowing I was exposed and not wanting to spread it, I self-isolated for ten days, just in case. But it appears this is not common practice and some people believe we shouldn't even talk about Covid anymore as they believe it's no different than a cold.

    Am I from an alternate universe which collided with this one where the pandemic wasn't so bad?
