Elemental Conversations | People, Society & Life

Co-hosts Dr Alexis Willett (science writer) and Richard Purnell (comms expert) take a leisurely look at human life in this ever more complex world - from behaviour to politics, culture to science - through the lens of the four classical elements; water, earth, air and fire. In this first series about water, they explore everything from the pleasures of spa towns and the humble bath, through to power grabs in the Middle East, hovercrafts and murder mysteries. If you want a fresh way of looking at the world, without the usual predictable points of view, Elemental Conversations is for you.
