In today’s green hued instalment, Rich and Matt delve into the exciting world of superconductors and the ongoing quest for room-temperature superconductivity, which could pave the way for a future of limitless clean energy.

Matt gets particularly fired up by a groundbreaking alternative to pesticides, inspired by the ingenious traps of carnivorous plants. Yes. Spraying plants with glue.

AI forces its way onto the agenda as they examine the controversy surrounding Scarlett Johansson’s beef with OpenAI over alleged copyright infringement, and examine the industry’s approach to protecting copyright owners and content creators. And finally, they put on their data heads to look at a new New York Times' report comparing Taylor Swift's popularity to that of music legends like The Beatles and Michael Jackson.
