Episode description

Angela Saini (One of the “World’s Top 50 Thinkers”, a leading UK Science Journalist + Author) is a misinformation expert whose intellectual range is truly wild.

Angela has a masters from The Department of War Studies at Kings College London; she’s made documentaries on the climate crisis, birdsong (!) and eugenics; her previous books have tackled race science and gender inequality; she founded “Challenging Pseudoscience” as part of London’s Royal Institution and sits on a bunch of other esteemed British and global scientific boards. Of course, she was named one of the World’s Top 50 Thinkers by Prospect Magazine in 2020 and in 2018 she was voted one of the most respected journalists in the UK!

In this WILD episode, we talk about the theme of her latest book The Patriarchs: How Men Came to Rule. We smash the patriarchal idea that patriarchies have always existed; show how matriarchies tended to be cooler with gender fluidity; and how we ALL have a part to play in keeping the status quo propped up.
