More sexxx with robots

This week I continue on the fasination of  sex with robots. It is philospher Dr Peter Asaro’s turn this time. We continue the discussion about Roxxxy and the sex robots of the future that started with Dr David Levy last week. This is Peter’s third time on the programme. The last time was about his movie i The Love Machine, we enjoyed a drink in the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station in Manhattan. This time I was at home on the telephone – still!

Turning the tables

Turning the tables is a feature slot where I turn the tables on someone behind the stores that we read, hear or watch. This it is the turn of  BBC Senior Correspondent Chris Bowlby.  Chris is a regular presenter on BBC radio specialising in history, science and European affairs. He was the BBC correspondent in Prague during the division of Czechoslovakia, and has also worked on the research staff of the House of Commons. He is also a producer.

We discuss how he started in journalism, his role as a journalist and how he decides on what storeis to go for.

Next Week

There will be no programme next week as I will be lecturing about ethics to the military of 16 countries in Estonia. I hope to bring back some interviews.
