It's episode 69 so let's talk about LOVE.
Writer and philosopher Alain de Botton is in the country to promote his (brilliant) new book The Course of Love: an exploration of the confusing ideas romanticism serves up for us. He thinks love is a serious matter indeed and one worth examining closely, and in this chat we talk about its effects, its position in our hard-wiring and its many forms.
Also, in the wake of Brexit and Trump, Alain reflects on how emotional intelligence might better inform our public debate.
You can catch me at the Splendour In The Grass Comedy Club
The World Keeps Happening at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival
Article: "Classwashing" Australia's racism problem won't make it disappear by Ruby Hamad
Video: In Praise of Short-Term Love
