I really enjoy #BBCMoreOrLess but this recent episode, whilst noting rising rates of cardiovascular disease in quite young adults *since the pandemic started*, fails to recognise that Cov1d causes strokes, heart attacks & more!

Did you also see that statistic about how much #microplastics we eat? Fortunately we have #BBCMoreorLess: to investigate the statistics.

More explorations of the #Fediverse. I have started using #Antennapod to listen to #podcasts, including @TimHarford 's as usual brilliant #BBCMoreOrLess

Works at least as well as #Spotify.
Happy to have a new alternative to play with..
