Biologist, award-winning TV presenter and National Geographic explorer, Niall McCann has slept in some of the world’s most dangerous environments - he’s rowed the Atlantic, skied across Greenland, and suffered a spinal cord injury after speedflying. You may have seen him on TV presenting wildlife documentaries including Biggest and Baddest, as well as working with Sir David Attenborough on a Perfect Planet.
In this episode, Niall talks to Dr. Sophie Bostock to share his stories and to discuss how to sleep in new or extreme environments, when under stress or post injury. This episode will be particularly helpful for you if you’re facing sleep problems due to medical issues or injuries or if things in life are just a bit challenging for you. Niall has a brilliant suggestion for us all to achieve that all elusive state of shutting off your brain.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
