WARNING: This episode briefly mentions suicide

On this Episode 27 I steam straight ahead on Quick News and look at the secret to longevity and find out about a long-term study that suggests it’s our relationships that could dictate how long we live and not necessarily what we eat, how much exercise we do or the supplements we take.

On the Real Deal I cover the extraordinary story of the Empty Chairs campaign (emptychairs.org.uk) set up by Dean Perryman to combat loneliness and create low-pressure human connections after losing his best friend Rob to suicide. This organisation has now grown beyond the UK and is established around the world.

And finally, on Far Out Stuff, does your social life need some support? Do you need a Grandma to help you perfect a recipe or do you need some relationship advice that only a Grandma could give you? What – you haven’t got one?! Well, why not just Rent A Grandma?!

A study by an Italian neuro-biologist claims that plants are aware and know what's going on. But what does this mean for vegans?

What sort of legacy do you want to leave behind when you die? How about human composting and returning to nature and being a tree?
