Did anyone hear Stephen pinker on the radio today talking about why we like bad news?

It was before 10am but the Today programme isn’t on Sundays so it wasn’t that.
i can’t quite work out how to find what todays programmes were I must be googling it wrong.

Yes I heard it at lunchtime - The World This Weekend.
I hadn’t realised it was Stephen Pinker speaking.

Very interesting!
It starts about 11 minutes in.

It's a mystery! I have found today's schedule but no mention of Steven Pinker. Broadcasting House is on before 10am so you could try that. He's not mentioned in the intro though. He does have a podcast on bbc sounds though.

Aha!

Heroines both!
thank you.
i read his book The Better Angels of our Nature and it cheers me up no end :)

Great! I’ll look that book up too
