Each series explains current research and breakthroughs in artificial intelligence and unpacks the ethics around this form of technology, in a language anyone can understand (even me). In the first episode of the new series, Fry looks at how an AI system managed to crack a challenge in biology decades earlier than anticipated, and evaluates what this could mean for the world of medicine and healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re into news about scientific developments, <a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/74171648\"><strong>The Naked Scientists<\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>is worth a listen.

Its aim is to try to empower people to think more positively about how they think about their bodies, particularly at this time of year when advertising wants to shame us to sell their own products. \u201cWe believe that the way you look is the least interesting thing about you,\u201d advocates Laura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The podcast is utterly delightful. The chemistry between Laura and Lauren feels like you\u2019re eavesdropping rather than hearing a structured show, and it is able to do that difficult podcast trick of swinging from lighthearted chat about nonsense to important and sensitive heartfelt discussions on topics around shame, the hangover from our teenage years, comfort eating and the impact that other people\u2019s words have on ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1398292862\"><strong>Simple Politics Podcast<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>If you\u2019re on Instagram and you have even the most general interest in politics, you\u2019re likely to be following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/simplepolitics\/?hl=en\">@SimplePolitics<\/a> Instagram account. More than 750,000 people follow their Instagram because of how it cuts through noise and often complicated stories coming out of Westminster by letting you know of the latest developments in conversational English and in just a couple of sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot off the heels of the account\u2019s success, they now have a podcast where they break down the week in politics in an equally straightforward fashion. Tatton and Diane, who run the account, are joined by host Kobi to discuss the week\u2019s news and help explain some of the issues behind the talking points, with the latest episode looking at inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1604609190\"><strong>Whenever It Kicks Podcast with Jessie Cave<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211;<\/strong> There have been a fair few new podcasts in recent months that guide parents through pregnancy, from <a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1584474367\"><strong>Is It Normal?<\/strong><\/a> (a Jessie Ware podcast with episodes that correspond to every week of your pregnancy, with tips and guides to ) to the NHS\u2019 useful series <a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/unexpectedbeginnings\"><strong>Unexpected Beginnings<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new podcast, presented by the actress and illustrator Jessie Cave, is a welcome addition. It consists of an audio diary guiding listeners through each step of her own pregnancy ahead of the birth of her fourth child, with lots of observations and conversations about balancing being a mother whilst preparing for a new one. Her frankness and the podcast\u2019s intimate style will be relatable for anyone else currently going through the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/1480815448\"><strong>GABA<\/strong><\/a><strong> &#8211; <\/strong>How to describe GABA. This project by Adam Martin is part soundscape, part meditative practice, but it is also a tapestry of archive clips stitched together for your audio enjoyment. The lack of being able to clearly define what GABA is also what makes it such an interesting listen, with a recent episode featuring quotes and thoughtful observations from the late, great Betty White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re ending this week\u2019s newsletter on a sad note. The great comedian Barry Cryer passed away earlier this week at the age of 86. Just a couple of weeks ago we featured his podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/podfollow.com\/nw3\"><strong>Now, Where Were We?<\/strong><\/a>, where he interviewed friends and fellow comedians with his son Bob in a local.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The podcast reflected all the things that made Barry so loved: his wit and his anecdotes, along with his trademark distinctive laughter. I highly recommend giving the podcast a listen this weekend if you can. The Miriam Margolyes episode in particular is a hoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Get podcast recommendations every week in your inbox by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatbritishpodcasts.com\/mailing-list\/\">subscribing for free<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s open this week\u2019s newsletter by looking at great science podcasts \ud83e\uddea\ud83d\udd2c The second series of DeepMind: The Podcast, presented by the mathematician and TV presenter Professor Hannah Fry, dropped this week.
