Dr Hannah Fry joins Shaun

Dr Hannah Fry joins Shaun to chat about her new Radio 4 science series The Curious Cases of Rutherford & Fry. Plus Matt Everitt has a music news chat with Joan Jett.

Dr Hannah Fry joins Shaun to chat about her new Radio 4 science series called 'The Curious Cases of Rutherford & Fry' presented by mathematician Hannah and Adam Rutherford. The show takes listeners' everyday questions and science the hell out of them. In a recent episode they had a question in about Earworms - why do we get them, why are they annoying and is there any point to them. The Radio 4 team first thought of Shaun so Hannah joins to chat about Earworms and the show.

All this plus, Matt Everitt has a chat with Joan Jett in the Music News and Rostam is the Album of the Day. Rostam Batmanglij, is an American songwriter, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist formerly of New York City-based indie rock band Vampire Weekend. We're playing tracks from his debut solo record Half Light all day today.
