Here are our recommendations for Week 1 of Corona-19 Isolation, since we have already covered that topic (see last episode). And we begin with:
1: How to Argue with a Racist Adam Rutherford
Adam Rutherford is a geneticist at the University College London. In his book, How to Argue with a Racist, Adam shows that what we understand as race doesn’t really hold up with the genomic data.
Unfortunately the BBC Podcast episodes that Vic listened to are not available anymore (they have disappeared since we taped our episode), so here is Adam talking about the subject on other podcasts:

2: Joe Rogan Experience - The Ice Man
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np0jGp6442A
Wim Hof is a Dutch world record holder, commonly nicknamed the Iceman for his ability to withstand extreme cold. He has broken many records and he is pioneering a new way of breathing, meditating, and helping the body become a more resilient machine.
3: In celebration of International Women's Day
The Intelligence - The Economist’s Daily podcast
The particular episode recommended by Vic is called "Nevertheless, she persisted: the futility of restricting abortion". It's about America’s Supreme Court which is again having to tussle with the question of abortion rights. We also recommend the recent The Daily episode on this topic.
The Broad Experience
http://www.thebroadexperience.com
The Broad Experience is produced and presented by Ashley Milne-Tyte. Her podcast focuses on women and the workplace. What differentiates her show is its focus on women of different ages from all sorts of different backgrounds, who can speak to the theme of each show.
4: Joe Rogan Experience #1006 - Jordan Peterson & Bret Weinstein
Joe Rogan and his guests Jordan Peterson, a clinical psychologist, who has gained a bit of notoriety in the media - but you be the judge - and Bret Weinstein, previously a biology professor and an evolutionist, and he is one of our favourite people to listen to on the subject of evolution and biology.
