8:30 Window on The World
CrowdScience listener Sam has known for a while that her illness is terminal, and by now she's got used to the idea. But she finds many friends and family would rather avoid the subject at all costs; they don't want to acknowledge what's happening until it's all over. She's wondering if there's a way to lighten up the topic of her approaching death, and create the openness she craves.
9:07 Low Traffic Neighbourhoods
Nicolas Bosetti from Centre for London, a thinktank that looks for new solutions to London's critical challenges joins us to talk about the growing number of Low Traffic Neighbourhoods in the city and Centre for London's recently published report on their effectiveness and safety.
