We all know about the first moon landing over 50 years ago, but what about the race to get there. It was just after World War II and the two biggest super-power's were battling it out to conquer space. This week Peter and Russell look at the achievements made during the cold war by the USA and the USSR. Even though each side won various milestones along the way, this rivalry would eventually lead to cooperation. But before that happened, there were many mishaps and some unsolved mysteries. We even have sound clips of key moments during the great space race, as well as some unexplained ones including what has been said to be the last words of a lost female Cosmonaut.
This week Peter and Russell take a light hearted journey of the English language, more specifically the origins of some of our most popular sayings. Ever wonder where a particular saying comes from? Who was the first to use it? What did it originally mean? We may just have all the answers for you on the show. Sit back and laugh with us (or most likely at us) as we reveal where some of our most popular sayings come from.
How has work changed for us over the millennia? Peter and Russell look at where we've come and what's in store for us as workers with the rise of automation.
