As more and more women become the main breadwinners in US households, we ask is the stay at home mum becoming a historical anomaly? We hear from academic and working mother Dr Meredith Joppa and Dr Lucy Delap from King's College London. Plus, Stephen Evans finds out why the German capital Berlin thinks it has what it takes to become the world's next tech start-up hub. And, regular commentator Lucy Kellaway asks if we don't love or even like our jobs, are we simply wasting our lives away?
