  • Britain is a Nation of the Worried Well
    Jun 5 2019

    Join data journalist Victoria Waldersee from YouGov, along with the Head of News at Yahoo UK, Stuart Henderson, and editor Matilda Long as they unpack statistics surrounding British behaviour. We’re talking about health: from whether we'd trust British men to take the Pill to what we worry about being the next big health threat. And we're joined by special guest, Dr Patricia Macnair - author of Everything You Need to Know About the Human Body, hospice doctor and medical journalist and broadcaster for the BBC.


    Do Brits still support the NHS? (Is the Queen an Anglican?)

    Would British men take the Male Pill? (Is the Pope an Anglican?)

    What do we see as the biggest upcoming health threat? (Hint: We're all going to die.)

    Is it OK to keep animals as pets? (Does that include pet eels?)

    Should you let your pet sleep in your bed? (Does that include pet eels?)

  • Britain is a Nation of Nimby Wannabe Homeowners
    May 22 2019

    Join data journalist Victoria Waldersee from YouGov, along with the Head of News at Yahoo UK, Stuart Henderson, and editor Matilda Long as they unpack statistics surrounding British behaviour. We’re talking about property: from how important it is to own a home, to how many of us were caught up in the Marie Condo craze. And we're joined by special guest, Jenny Wood – a property journalist who writes about homes and interiors for publications such as Good Homes and Notebook in the Sunday Mirror.


    How important is it to own a home in your lifetime? (Stop blaming the avocados.)

    Would we support action to bring down house prices? (It's complicated.)

    And how many Brits were swept up in the Marie Kondo craze? (Clue: the answer may spark joy.)
