CAFÉ CULTURE
Laurie Taylor
examines our behaviour in coffee shops with Dr Eric Laurier, author of The Cappuccino Community: cafes and civic life in the contemporary city.

HUMAN WASTE
Simon Winchester wrote that “Few are the writers brave and bold enough to take on so difficult a topic”. Rose George is bold enough, and she talks about her new book The Big Necessity; Adventures in the World of Human Waste with Patrick Wakely, Emeritus Professor of Urban Development at University College London.
