  • 15. Heatwaves
    2026/05/26
    Heat is one of the most dangerous natural hazards, causing preventable deaths and putting vulnerable communities under increasing pressure. But heat is not experienced equally, with some communities more vulnerable than others.

    The University of Liverpool’s Melting Metropolis research is a major Wellcome funded project that explores how people experience urban heat, and how cities can respond. It brings together historians, artists, and community engagement experts to better understand heat and health in London, New York and Paris.

    Host Gavin Freeborn is joined in the studio by Professor Chris Pearson, Environmental Historian and Principal Investigator on the project, and Dr Anna Bocking-Welch, Senior Lecturer in History, to talk about the realities of extreme heat, and what cities need to do next.

    The clips are John Nairn, Senior Extreme Heat Advisor, World Meteorological Organization talking at a UN (United Nations) conference, and Dr Chloe Duteil, Melting Metropolis, University of Liverpool.

  • 13. Antimicrobial Resistance
    2026/03/24
    According to the World Health Organisation, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria and viruses no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. As a result, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines become ineffective, making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness, and death. AMR is now directly responsible for 1.3 million deaths and contributes to 5 million deaths every year.

    So what progress are we making? And what needs to happen next to prevent a future where routine infections become untreatable?

    Host Gavin Freeborn is joined in the studio by experts Dr Alex Howard, a consultant in Medical Microbiology, and Dr Nada Reza, a Clinical Research Training Fellow, to discuss AMR, and the critical research taking place in Liverpool.
