What are some of the world's best treasure hunts? Mar 22, 2026

Show notes

After over three decades of relentless searching, the Golden Owl was finally found on October 3, 2024. This €150,000 treasure was hidden back in 1993 by writer Régis Hauser, who took on the pseudonym Max Valentin to publish ‘Sur la trace de la chouette d'or’ ("On the Trail of the Golden Owl").

The book has 11 riddles, each one a clue to the owl’s secret location, setting off what would become the longest-running treasure hunt ever organised. More than 200,000 enthusiasts, known as “chouetteurs,” joined the chase.

What does the Golden Owl look like? Are there other famous treasure hunts like this one? Are there treasures we’re still searching for? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How can I stay trendy buying only second hand clothes? Mar 21, 2026

Show notes

November is synonymous with Black Friday, great deals but what cost? Over consumption is endangering our already fragile planet. Is it time to change our ways? This week Do You Really Know is highlighting concepts and initiatives about reducing our consumption.

If you thought Britney Spears shaving her head in 2007 marked the end of the flared jeans era, think again. In 2022, youngsters are hunting them down at Urban Outfitters or Shein to match their butterfly patterned diamante crop tops. But they don’t necessarily stop to think that many people already have the items they’re looking for, though they've long been retired to the back of wardrobes.

How can you shop responsibly when fashion trends change all the time? What if I fall in love with a sweater I see in the window at Zara though? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How can you protect yourself from being mugged? Mar 21, 2026

Show notes

Mugging is a form of robbery that involves violence or the threat of violence against a person in a public place. It’s also known as street robbery or personal robbery. However, would-be muggers have been foiled by a recent covert police operation in London which aimed at reducing street theft.

Brave officers posed as potential victims by wearing expensive luxury watches to tempt thieves and hanging around in dangerous places, then when anyone attempted to steal the watches they were arrested by hidden officers lying in wait. And it has been successful, the operation reduced annual watch robberies from 113 to 55 last year in three central London boroughs.

Who are the most likely victims and perpetrators of mugging? So how can you avoid being mugged or minimise the harm if you are attacked? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Which foods are best for burning fat? Mar 20, 2026

Show notes

It’s common knowledge that autumn often sees people put on weight. But if you’re looking to shed a few pounds, there are some foods you can rely on to boost metabolism and thereby improve calorie burning. That’s because they increase thermogenesis, which is the production of heat in the body. That in turn stimulants our metabolism, forcing the body to use energy from its fat reserves.

There are three main types of fat burning food. Firstly, those which see our bodies burn more calories digesting them than they actually contain. Then you’ve got those which are rich in fibre or protein and therefore make you feel full quickly. Finally there are those which possess active ingredients which boost your metabolism, causing you to burn calories.

What are some examples then? What about other types of food apart from vegetables? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Show notes

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is still palpable, with repercussions stretching across various facets like the economy, education, and health. These sectors took a severe hit due to the virus and the ensuing lockdowns.

According to the World Health Organistion, the world saw a 25% increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide during the first year of the pandemic. Amidst this continued unease, a new sentiment has emerged, and it’s been labelled "pandemic skip".

Are our phones really eavesdropping on us? Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

Have you ever had the eerie feeling that you’re being spied on by your smartphone? You know: you're having dinner with a friend, chatting about how your aging computer is on its last legs, struggling with an old battery and making work a hassle. You’ve decided it’s time to replace it by getting a new one. Lo and behold, the next day, while casually surfing the internet, you're bombarded with ads for shiny new computers, even though you never actually searched for them online.

No need to worry, you're not under surveillance by FBI agents. Apple did admit a few years back that it was listening to iPhone users, but only after the voice assistant was activated. According to American cybersecurity expert Daniel Markuson: "Applications installed on your smartphone are eavesdropping on background noise, including conversations, to collect more information about you. Later on, the data gathered is shared with other devices."

But is it just Apple that's doing this? And why would they do this? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

How does pollution affect my mental health? Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

According to the government, air pollution is the “largest environmental risk to public health”, and accounts for between 28,000 and 36,000 deaths each year. But did you know that the air you breathe might be impacting not only your physical health but also your mental well-being?

It's the largest environmental risk to public health because harmful pollutants like fine particulate matter, ammonia and nitrogen dioxide get into our bodies, affecting the eyes, nose and throat, heart and blood vessels and the respiratory system. But there are also risks regarding our mental health. A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in February 2023 reported on the link between air pollution and psychological disorders.

What did the study find? Who can be affected by air pollution? And how can we protect ourselves then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
