SIM Ep 197 Pod 65: Media, melons & making evil

This week, we catch up with Alice-May Purkiss, author of new book Life, Lemons and Melons, about being diagnosed with breast cancer at 26 and why we all need to CoppaFeel! Dr Julia Shaw swings by to tell us about her new book Making Evil: The Science behind Humanity’s Dark Side, why all “evil” roads lead back to Hitler, and giving that kitten a squeeze. And there's a sneak peak of this week’s Sunday Chops, in which Mick natters to Instagram guru Sara Tasker about why social media isn’t ruining your life and her new book Hashtag Authentic. We’re a woman down in the Bush Telegraph, Jen is getting narky about visibility (or the lack of it) in Jenny Off the Blocks, and Dunleavy Does Disney edges ever closer to the finish line with Brother Bear.
