August 02, 2018 Burying Nuclear Waste and Jennifer Aniston
James Large explains to Dawn and Mike why the government might want to bury nuclear waste underneath national parks - and how its a hard thing to make ethical and even the experts are struggling to shift it.

Turns out, Jennifer Aniston is actually not heart broken after her well profiled divorce- she is also happily child free - putting some long held and unfair speculation about her life to bed. It has also inspired debate on how people treat women who choose to not have children. Today's co host, Dawn and Thea De Gallier are also happily without child, and Thea joins Mike and Dawn in the studio to share her personal thoughts and experiences on this.

Ian calls in to tell a slightly unusual tale in which he split from his wife and subsequently agreed to IVF - and Ryan in New Forest to address something Mike said about men and fatherhood.
