ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We’re joined by endurance swimmer Lewis Pugh, who’s attempting to make the coldest swim on Earth to highlight the speed of climate change, braving the Arctic Cricle wearing nothing more than swimming trunks and a woolly hat. Poly Network heist: now ‘white hat’ hacker has returned most of $600 million in crypto. Encrochat bust: chart-topping rapper Nines admits plot to import 28kg of cannabis. Top secret! Could flying police officers in jet packs soon swoop down from the skies to arrests criminals? Fitness and health: calorie-burning ‘peaks earlier and declines later’ than previously thought. Sad tale of the lonely mammoth who died alone in the frozen Arctic 17,000 years ago after being kicked out of his herd.
