  An Original Audiobook Production by W. F. Howes, written and presented by Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West, with special guests. 
   
  •	How do news outlets choose which crimes to report on – and does it matter? 
  •	What do Disney films teach us about who is good and who is dangerous? 
  •	Can adverts really change how we think and behave?  
   
  Underpinning these questions looms the spectre of bias; the hidden force that frames our thinking and skews the facts. This provocative audio original will have you rethinking everything from pornography and pop music to children’s books and fashion. 
  Tackling the complex subject of bias head on, Skewed investigates the hidden messages we absorb from birth. Looking closely at what the research can tell us, Caryn Franklin and Professor Keon West explain how our inner worlds are shaped by false information, media trends, and the brain’s preference for patterns and stereotypes. Exploring biases around gender, sexuality, race, age and appearance, Caryn and Keon explain how bias impacts all of our lives. 
  Through conversations with a diverse range of voices - from cognitive psychologists to activists and entertainers – Caryn and Keon offer a vision for an alternative future; a world in which we recognise and manage bias, and one in which diversity and difference can truly flourish. 
  Guest interviews include campaigner and life coach Michelle Elman, author academic and drag artist Cheddar Gorgeous, creative director and campaigner Trevor Robinson, forensic psychologist Dr Dominic Willmott and many more.

  Cardiology - Heart Diseases and...

  Cardiology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of heart-related conditions. As one of the most vital specialties in modern medicine, it plays a crucial role in improving life expectancy and quality of life for patients with heart diseases. The heart is responsible for pumping blood throughout the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for survival. Therefore, any disruption in its function can have far-reaching consequences for an individual's health. 
  The field of cardiology has a rich history, evolving significantly over the centuries. Early understanding of the heart was rudimentary, with ancient civilizations attributing its function to the soul or emotions. It was not until the 17th century, with the groundbreaking work of William Harvey, that the concept of blood circulation was fully understood. Over time, advancements in medical technology and scientific knowledge have led to a more detailed understanding of the heart's anatomy, function, and the diseases that affect it. 
  Today, cardiology is a highly specialized field that requires expertise in various sub-disciplines, including interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, heart failure management, and pediatric cardiology. The role of a cardiologist extends beyond diagnosis and treatment to include preventative care, patient education, and collaboration with other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care. Cardiologists use a combination of clinical evaluations, diagnostic tests, and imaging techniques to identify and treat heart diseases such as coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, and valvular heart diseases.

  The Shocking Truth about Drug...

  Drug policies around the world have long been a contentious issue, influencing not only the legal and political landscapes but also public health, economics, and societal structures. The regulation and criminalization of drugs have shaped global attitudes toward substance use, and in turn, these policies have had profound, sometimes detrimental, effects on individuals and communities. As we examine the shocking truth about drug policies, it becomes clear that the system in place is not only ineffective but also exacerbates many of the problems it seeks to address. 
  	  
  In its most basic form, drug policy refers to the laws, regulations, and practices that govern the production, distribution, and use of controlled substances. But this simple definition belies the complexity of the issue. Drug policies intersect with numerous societal factors, including crime, health, racial disparities, and international relations. The war on drugs, for instance, has led to millions of individuals being incarcerated, often disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. Meanwhile, the cost of enforcing these laws—both financially and socially—has ballooned, without significant improvements in public safety or health outcomes. 
  	  
  In countries like the United States, the harsh consequences of drug criminalization have sparked debates on whether a punitive approach is the most effective or if alternative solutions, such as decriminalization or harm reduction, would yield better results. Across the globe, there are countries that have adopted progressive policies, focusing on treating addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal one. These nations have witnessed significant improvements in public health and reduced rates of incarceration, challenging the traditional narrative around drug use and its societal consequences.
