Why Would You Tell Me That?

This week, the lads cover the amazing story of why there are 700 nuns’ brains in jars in the US. Clinician and author, Dr Daniel Nightingale talks them through the detailed studies that have been conducted on the organs and what they tell us about dementia and ‘cognitive reserve’.If that’s not enough, Neil blows Dave’s mind with the fact that the easternmost point and the westernmost point of the USA are only about 70 miles from one another. And, as it’s nearly Christmas, we’ll throw in some chat about mining bird droppings too. Can’t say fairer than that. To listen to Dave on the radio check out https://www.todayfm.com/shows/dave-moore-1499732 To see Neil on tour check out www.neildelamere.com/gigsFollow Daniel on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUGB5YImWZ8MIZqb6QIwr7QOrder Dave's book here https://www.easons.com/daves-bad-jokes-pb-dave-moore-9781804582060 Sources:https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/567342/why-alaska-is-americas-easternmost-pointhttps://americanhistory.si.edu/explore/stories/what-load-guano-5-facts-you-didnt-know-about-bird-poop Presented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave MooreEdited by Eimear Shannon and Nicky RyanMusic by Dave MooreArtwork by Ray McDonnell

This week, the lads concentrate on ‘big Irish heads’ with Dr Ian Miller, historian and author of A History of Ireland in 10 Body Parts.The book, as you might imagine, covers a plethora of noteworthy limbs, but even a zoom in on just our noggins informs Neil and Dave about some wonderful tidbits. Can a Iron Age bog body really be wearing hair gel?

All the simple questions are asked on this podcast, week in, week out. Ketchup or brown sauce? Beef or salmon? Who owns the Moon? Yep. Standard. Dave has employed the talents of Dr. Jill Stuart, an expert in space policy, ethics and law, to explain all about humanity’s plans to explore, potentially colonise and possibly even exploit the Moon. We also meet a differently-qualified lady, who was selling plots on the sun on eBay but they stopped her. And now she’s suing them.
