If you’re keen to get a screen break this Easter weekend but still want to expand your mind, why not put your headphones on and tune in to some of The Conversation’s recent podcasts.
It’s been two months since we launched The Conversation Weekly, a podcast showcasing experts from our global network. Listen to a discussion on where the World Health Organization goes after COVID-19,
including what a new pandemic treaty – as proposed this week by world leaders – might look like. Or what discoveries in Tanzania’s Olduvai Gorge are revealing about early humans. Or take a deep dive into the future of remote and more hybrid forms of work.
In this week’s episode you can delve into the physics behind the latest breakthrough at Cern’s Large Hadron Collider and what it means for our understanding of the universe. To subscribe, search for The Conversation Weekly wherever you get your podcasts, or click here.
You can also listen to the first season of Don’t Call Me Resilient, a podcast about race and racism. Host Vinita Srivastava in Toronto talks with experts about dealing with the pain of racism, inequity in schools and Indigenous land rights. And if you want to practise your French, check out a new series about the language of political communication on The Conversation’s In Extenso podcast.
Happy listening.
