  • Why do we have fetishes?
    If you can think of it, someone probably has a fetish for it. Whether you’re into feet, balloons, chair legs or latex, one thing’s for sure – fetishes are still a taboo subject, and not something we often discuss with others. But how do fetishes develop, and how can people partake in fetishes in a safe and ethical way?     Emma Kennedy delves into the science and sociology of fetishes with Justin Lehmiller, Research Fellow in Sex, Gender and Reproduction at the Kinsey Institute, and award-winning clinical sexologist and sexuality educator Sunny Megatron.   Buy Justin’s book Tell Me What You Want: The Science of Sexual Desire and How it Can Help You Improve Your Sex Life through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund WHY? By earning us a small commission for every sale. Bookshop.org’s fees help support independent bookshops too.    Listen to Sunny’s American Sex Podcast here.    WHY? is presented by Emma Kennedy.

  • Why is smell so important?
    You might not consider smell to be that important compared to some of your other senses. But, it’s intrinsic to our sense of taste, place, memory and desire. To uncover the surprising importance of our sense of smell, Emma Kennedy is joined by Professor Stuart J. Firestein, chair of the Department of Biological Sciences at Columbia University, and Professor Barry C. Smith, director of Philosophy at the University of London’s School of Advanced Study.    WHY? is presented by Emma Kennedy. Produced by Eliza Davis Beard.

  • Why can’t we time travel... yet?
    Time travel was once the holy grail of science fiction, but scientists have now shown that time travel into the future is theoretically possible – so why not backwards? If we can use the quirks of physics to move into the future “faster” than we’d get there anyway, could it be possible to move into the past? And if time travel in either direction became possible, what would it do to our world… and ourselves?    Emma Kennedy asks Jim Al-Khalili, famed for The Life Scientific and professor of theoretical physics at the University of Surrey, and Nikk Effingham, professor of philosophy at the University of Birmingham, about our days of future past.    Buy Nikk’s book Does Tomorrow Exist?: A Debate through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund Why? by earning us a small commission for every sale.

  • Why are we drawn to evil?
    Many of us are obsessed with true crime documentaries and podcasts, and actively seek out the most gruesome details of horrific murder, torture and kidnapping. It’s all pretty horrible – so why are we drawn to it? Does ‘evil’ really exist – and if so, what does it look like? Are people born evil or do they become it over time?    Emma Kennedy is joined by forensic psychiatrist Dr Sohom Das and the UK’s top expert on serial killers, criminologist Professor David Wilson to uncover why we are so obsessed with evil.      Buy Dr Das’ book In Two Minds: Shocking true stories of murder, justice and recovery from a forensic psychiatrist and Professor Wilson’s My Life with Murderers: Behind Bars with the World’s Most Violent Men through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund Why? by earning us a small commission for every sale.

  • Why do I have a ‘type’?
    Most of us could list a few physical attributes for our ideal romantic partner – like preferring blondes or men over 6ft tall. But is having a ‘type’ real? If so, how does it develop? Is it biological, or socially constructed? And is the rhetoric of ‘types’ actually dangerous?     Emma Kennedy speaks to University of California Davis Psychology Professor Paul W. Eastwick, and Not My Type: Automating Sexual Racism in Online Dating author and University of Michigan Assistant Professor Apryl Williams, about the psychology and sociology of who we’re attracted to.     Buy Apryl’s book Not My Type: Automating Sexual Racism in Online Dating through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund Why? by earning us a small commission for every sale. Bookshop.org’s fees help support independent bookshops too.  Listen to Paul's new podcast Love Factually here.   WHY? is presented by Emma Kennedy. Produced by Eliza Davis Beard.
