Jessica Hepburn returns

Last time we spoke to the author, adventurer and arts producer Jessica Hepburn was way back in 2019, when we talked about how she swam the English channel. Now she's back, to talk about her climb up Mount Everest - and why she listened to the entire back catalogue of Desert Island Discs while she did it.


Meanwhile, Professor Tim is talking sperm cups: do they work?

Swears throughout.
