Longplayer Live: Jeanette Winterson and Susie Orbach

Human memory is a sensory experience, says psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk. Through his longtime research and innovation in trauma treatment, he shares what he's learning about how bodywork like yoga or eye movement therapy can restore a sense of goodness and safety. What he’s learning speaks to a resilience we can all cultivate in the face of the overwhelming events — which, after all, make up the drama of culture, of news, and of life.

Rebecca Harms – a short but deeply personal interview on the reasons behind her fight against nuclear energy.
 
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Chernobyl catastrophe, one of the worst accidents of modern history.
 
On 26th April 1986, technicians conducting a test inadvertently caused reactor number four to explode. Hundreds of staff and firefighters then tried to stop a fire that burned for 10 days and sent a cloud of radiation around the world. Many people lost their lives.
 
Authorities evacuated 120,000 people from the area, but the effects - both on local inhabitants and people all across Europe - have been disastrous. And despite all the years that have passed, the problems are still a long way from being solved...
 
It was this horrible accident that changed the career path that Rebecca Harms, now Co-president of the Greens/EFA group in the European Parliament, decided to embrace.
 
In this personal podcast, she discusses how she became an anti-nuclear activist and her decision to enter the political arena. She also explains why and how she is still managing to find such incredible energy to fight against what is certainly one the most dangerous and expensive energy sources of our time.

Dr Phil Syrpis, Daniel Hannan, Will Hutton, Molly Scott-Cato, Graham Stringer

A panel of high profile speakers debate the arguments for and against Britain’s EU membership, ahead of the EU referendum on 23rd June 2016.

The panel comprised two speakers in support of the UK’s continued membership of the EU (Molly Scott-Cato, Green Party MEP for the South West, and Will Hutton, Principal of Hertford College and highly influential economist), and two who argued for its withdrawal (Daniel Hannan, Conservative MEP for the South East, and the Labour MP Graham Stringer). 

Each made a short defence of their case, before answering questions from the audience in a Question Time-style debate.

In this podcast, psychology journalist, Jo Carlowe interviews Professor Kieran McCartan, Professor of Criminology, and Dr Anna Markham, Forensic Psychologist and Acting Clinical Lead for the Child and Adolescent Harmful Behaviour Service.
