In their weekly podcast, Terry and Wendy will be talking about the strange but true – all things wonderful, warm, weird and witty that shape people’s lives – or not.

Feeling stressed? Get more shut eye. New research shows sleep and dreaming are a form of therapy.

And, did you know that 80 parts of your brain come into sync when you orgasm? Thanks to one brave PhD student we now know.
