This week on Ideas we broadcast an episode of the discussion programme, The Forum, from the BBC World Service.
Guests this week are: Alain de Botton, peripatetic philosopher, with a celebration of the thing that is exhausting both the human race and the planet - work; French poet, novelist, diplomat and self-confessed cycling nut Paul Fournel; and, Brian J Ford, independent research biologist on the ingenious responses of single cells to events in their daily lives and what their activities may tell us about the origins of intelligence.
Presented by Bridget Kendall and produced by the BBC World Service
A weekly programme exploring a range of philosophical, social, historical and environmental ideas.
Ideas is broadcast on Radio New Zealand National at 11:05am on Sunday Morning with Chris Laidlaw
