Naked Truth about X-Rays
Jun 02, 2025•25 min
Episode description
Before selfies, before CT scans, before social media filters and front-facing cameras… there was the x-ray. Discovered by accident in a 19th-century lab, it didn’t just revolutionise medicine, it ignited a cultural obsession with seeing inside ourselves and remains a powerful example of what can happen when knowledge is shared freely.
Guest: Dr. Suzie Sheehy - Accelerator Physicist, Author, and Science Communicator. Author of The Matter of Everything: Twelve Experiments that Changed our World
