On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices…

The Neuromantics Season 1 Episode 8 The pleasure of making and listening to music. Is it universal? Or is it a very varied experience? The Neuromantics – author Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott – explore our neurological responses to music and ask how these may have changed over the years and with technological developments. What role has ritual to play? How does music help us communicate? And why should taste and culture be such strong influences on our listening habits? As ever the professor and the writer share their scientific and literary offerings and veer off into some eye-opening asides (the surprisingly strict rules of polyamorous engagement and rubber clubbing gear among them.)

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 10 Why are some words funnier than others? Can you learn a theory of humour? Are the sounds we find comical just as effective in other languages? The Neuromantics – writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott – give funny words a thorough seeing to, asking whether it’s possible to find any consensus on humour or if it’s a case of each to his own. Stepping across from funny to absurd, they explore the ideas behind Edward Lear’s The Jumblies, and visit a very unsettling short story by the Luxembourgeois writer Florence Sunnen.

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 9 Think you know all about testosterone? Well, you might have to think again after this episode of the Neuromantics, as Will and Sophie discuss the sex-related goings on in our brains. The relationship between testosterone and our brains is not as clear-cut as it is with our bodies, and a scientific paper elaborates on how the hormone can convert in mammal brains into a form of oestrogen. What does this mean for our understanding of masculinity and femininity and socially-determined sexual behaviours? As it's the testosterone episode, it’s only fitting that they should discuss a very Freudian scene in Ian Fleming’s Diamonds Are for Ever, as well as a poignant moment from James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room.

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 8 Loss, survival and sympathy are the dominant themes of this episode of the Neuromantics, with Will and Sophie discussing research into the impact of maternal death on mammalian offspring. Maternal care is essential to survival and young mammals deprived of their mothers often move away from their social group, putting themselves at greater risk. But what happens in the long term? Can this trauma be passed on and affect further generations? Is there something genetic going on? Also coming under the spotlight is a short story by Andrea Levy which raises issues of belonging, class and social responsibility. With Will Eaves and Professor Sophie Scott.

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 7 The Neuromantics revisit a favourite theme: the importance of social interaction when it comes to healthy minds. This time the starting point is a study on the mental health benefits of cultural engagement. Why is looking at art in a gallery more psychologically resonant than looking at the same pictures online? And how is it that laughing along with an audience at a live show can alleviate our anxieties? Communist-era poetry, British TV comedy and the solitary writer all come bubbling to the surface of the discussion. With Professor Sophie Scott and Will Eaves.

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 6 Neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott and writer Will Eaves - AKA the Neuromantics - suggest you might want to reconsider what you think you know about metaphors. Are they only useful for describing existing things or can they have an earlier, more constructive role in the creative process? A scientific study which asked architects to make use of metaphor at the design stage of their projects prompts questions about meaning and objectivity. This episode’s literary contribution is a thought-provoking essay by the musician, artist and writer Peter Blegvad called Imagine, Observe, Remember, but the conversation – as ever – takes unexpected turns, including the imagined accuracy of the Crystal Palace dinosaurs and hearing the Beatles for the first time.
