Presented by Jenni Murray. Why is science fiction still a male genre? Why do women find it hard to talk about masturbation? Fashion Ethics, Ketamine addiction.
Presented by Jenni Murray. As the British Library stages its first exhibition exploring Science Fiction, we ask whether there is still a male bias to the genre? If it's perfectly normal and everyone's doing it, why do we find it so hard to talk about it? Agony aunt Suzi Godson and columnist Joan Smith join us to talk about masturbation. We look at the dangers of taking the so called "party drug" Ketamine and looks at the ethics of consumer fashion.
