“Nothing is Impossible. The word itself says I’m possible!”
Audrey Hepburn

Narrated by actress Zawe Ashton, ‘The Woman Who…’ podcast celebrates the extraordinary achievements of some Britain’s most influential female trailblazers of the last 140 years.  Taking a deep dive into ten pioneering women’s lives, we lift the lid on the events that led to their towering achievements: tales of struggle and setback, love, loss and ultimately, extraordinary success.  These are the innovators of music, literature, the performing arts and fashion - the true influencers of their day.  They are all ‘The Woman Who…’

If you want to feel hopeful about the future, just ask children what kind of world they would like to see. Their imagination knows no bounds, and their playful curiosity can be a refreshing change from the doom and gloom often foreseen by adults. For our SUPERFUTURES: What if…? podcast we will be tapping into that sense of wonder, exploring what it’s like to dream bigger and bolder for what lies ahead. Hosted by Natty Kasambala, we’ll be speaking with people who are tackling some of our greatest challenges in ways only children could have imagined, to make the world a better place for everyone.

What could go wrong at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant?

Last week, a team of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) arrived at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The plant was seized by Russian forces in early May and has recently been the target of sustained shelling, increasing the risk of a nuclear disaster. The head of the IAEA, Rafael Grossi, who is leading the inspection team, has reported that the integrity of the plant has been violated several times.

Ian Sample speaks to Prof Claire Corkhill about what this could mean for Zaporizhzhia, what the risks are if the plant loses external power, and how a nuclear meltdown can be avoided.

100 days until Cop15: what next to save nature?

It is now less than 100 days until Cop15, the UN convention on biological diversity.
