This week the panel take a look at their favourites of the newer Olympic sports as Paris 2024 gets underway. Surfing will happen in Tahiti this year, but could it ever be held on Titan, in orbit around Saturn? Obviously very unlikely, but not for the reasons you might expect. No vertebrate on earth can rock-climb like a gecko. Can nanomaterials come to our aid? And Amy Pope, Principal Lecturer of Physics and Astronomy, Clemson University helps us understand the physics challenges the B-boys and girls are maybe subconsciously putting themselves through as Break Dancing makes its Olympic debut. Also, climate change unearths some of our oldest fossils in Brazil, being scared of long words, and designing cities to be cooler. Presented by Marnie Chesterton, with Philistiah Mwatee and Camilla Mota. Produced by Alex Mansfield with Harrison Lewis, Dan Welsh and Noa Dowling.
On Friday morning, many of us woke up to discover that our portal to work wasn't working.
Not the BBC, I should add, but Sky News was au fair for a while.
And worse than that, people had flights, trains and hospital appointments cancelled as a software update took down multiple computer systems back in 2021.
Another technical outage took down many social media sites for 6 hours.
And researchers discovered that, as well as the stress being disconnected, gave many people a sense of relief.
They called it Jomo, the joy of missing out.
Now, I had a long planned trip abroad for the diary last weekend, but had, for various reasons, realized last month that I couldn't go.
And as much as I'm sad not to have seen my friends overseas, the relief as I watched the transport carnage unfolding was very much a smug sense of Jomo that I hadn't left the country.
I'm Marnie Chesterton from the BBC World Service.
This is unexpected elements.
And talking of joy, it gives me great joy to introduce this week's panel.
In Nairobi, Kenya, journalist Phyllis Muati.
Hello.
Hello, Mani.
And in northeast Brazil, journalist Camilla Mota.
Hello.
Hi, moni.
Oi, I missed you.
Yeah, you too.
So, Camilla, normally you're in New York but now you're in where, your home village?
