Are fairies real - and does God eat? This episode focuses on the Developing Belief Network, a cross-cultural research network involving 19 countries where questions like these have been asked of children to explore the development and diversity of cognition.

We are joined by University of Nottingham researchers Dr Emily Burdett and Joanna Stephens.

Here are some of the resources discussed in the episode:
