1:20 Could parasitic worms be good for us?
The idea of having parasitic worms is pretty disgusting. But scientists are increasingly realising that some of these worms do us more good than harm.
Some have gone so far as to introduce certain parasites into people's systems.
Immunologist Joel Weinstock of Tufts University in Boston says the medical profession has spent years trying to work out what was causing people to suffer from inflammatory bowel disease like Crohns ..
He wondered if the issue was in fact caused by the lack of something in the gut... in particular certain parasites no longer found in western countries, where such immune condtions and allergies are far more common.
2:20 The Great New Zealand Album: Hello Sailor (1977) by Hello Sailor

Today's Great New Zealand Album is the classic debut from one for our most successful and ground-breaking bands. Their 1977 release chartered new territory in Kiwi Music and, coupled with a unique promotional concept, helped to make Hello Sailor and it's individual members household names in this country. An attempt to crack the American Market came oh so close, but paved the way for many Kiwi acts to follow.
It is unfortunate and most regrettable that we have, now, a limited number of Hello Sailor band members to talk to with following the untimely deaths of both Dave McArtney in April 2013 and Graham Brazier less than 18 months later.
But, joining us in the studio today is fellow founding member Harry Lyon.
3:10 The Life and Music of James Taylor
Singer-songwriter James Taylor turned his own battles with depression and insecurity into the soundtrack to the 1970;s. Music historian Mark Ribowsky traces his rise from heroin addict to superstar in the new book, Sweet Dreams and Flying Machines: The Life and Music of James Taylor.
