Can you have sex on your period? May 28, 2025

Show notes

Getting intimate while you or your partner are menstruating isn’t always straightforward. Still, the idea of period sex has gradually become less and less of a taboo over time. OK, it is potentially messy, but there’s nothing inherently wrong or unsafe with it. And if you’re in the mood for sex, it’s kind of a shame to miss out for that reason alone.

Most importantly, both partners need to be fully on board. No one, female or male, should feel pressured or forced into it. Some people simply see period sex as unpleasant or messy, and if that’s the case, there’s no point trying to convince them on the spot, as it’ll likely only end up being a negative experience.

Are there any benefits to period sex? Can you get pregnant from period sex? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What are neobanks? May 27, 2025

Show notes

Neobanks are 100% digital. They run exclusively through mobile apps, with no brick-and-mortar premises. They offer customers a user-first design, and promise low cost banking operations. There are more and more neobanks around, drawing in millions of users and rivalling traditional banks, although they don’t technically hold the same status.

Don’t confuse neobanks with digital banks, which are usually the online-only arms of bigger players in the banking sector. You may have heard of the SanFrancisco based neobank Chime, which is the leader in the US at the moment. But brands like N26, Revolut and Monzo are also bringing over their expertise from Europe, where the online-only trend is further ahead. All were created in the late 2010s.

So why would I want to try a neobank then? So what about our traditional brick-and-mortar banks? They’re not just going to disappear are they? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

What are the dangers of using Botox? May 25, 2025

Show notes

Botox is the name of a brand that offers a popular cosmetic treatment that involves injecting a toxin into the facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and signs of aging. The poison that they use, botulinum toxin, blocks the nerve signals that instruct the muscles to contract so make the appearance of fine lines, like crows feet or frown marks appear smoother.

It can also be used in some medical procedures that involve involuntary muscle movement, spasm, sweating or to help migraine. A cosmetic treatment costs between £100 to £350 and lasts for three to four months. But it does have some side effects and complications that people should be aware of before undergoing the procedure.

What are some of the side effects? How can I protect myself from the dangers of Botox? What are some safer and more natural alternatives to Botox? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

How to protect your art from AI exploitation? May 20, 2025

Show notes

You may have heard of AI art generators, tools that use artificial intelligence to create images based on language prompts. For example, you can type “a picture of Elmo from Sesame Street in the style of Pablo Picasso”. These tools are fun and impressive, but they also pose a serious threat to artists who share their work online.

AI art generators rely on large datasets of existing images to learn how to produce new ones. These datasets are often scraped from the internet, without the consent or knowledge of the original artists.

What can you do to protect your art from AI exploitation? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Which types of alcohol should we avoid mixing? May 20, 2025

Show notes

During the extended holiday feasts, it's common to let loose a little, perhaps mixing different kinds of alcohol. You might start out with a glass of champagne, then movie to wine or beer, and end the meal with a digestif. That’s despite the widespread belief that combining alcohol types can worsen the unpleasant aftermath of a hangover and all the symptoms that brings, like nausea, headaches, dehydration, vomiting, palpitations, and dizziness.

First of all, it’s important to note that ethanol, the molecule found in all alcoholic drinks, gets partly expelled through urine, sweat, and breath. The liver also filters a portion, converting ethanol into acetaldehyde, the culprit behind hangover symptoms. Unfortunately, the liver can only handle a limited amount.

So is it really more about how much alcohol you consume, then? What are these other substances? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
