Episode Details

Join our hosts for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Fostering’ and ‘Oaths, Curses and the Evil Eye:’ Fostering Fostering is more than just providing a temporary home, it is about offering stability, care, and hope at a time when a child needs it most. A safe and nurturing foster environment can transform a child’s life by building their confidence, supporting their education, and helping them heal emotionally. Oaths, Curses and the Evil Eye: Unseen Realities How far can a wicked glance go? Do curses have the power to inflict harm? Can an onlooker’s envy really tarnish a person’s success? Join us as we go on to discuss how scientists try to sift out fraudsters in establishing if there is any truth in these superstitions. Guests: Holly Marlow (Author and advocate) Dr Shokoofeh Rajabzadeh (Poet and scholar) Caroline Watt (Emeritus Professor of Parapsychology) Dr Jaap Bos (Associate Professor at the Department of Interdisciplinary Social Studies) Producers: Rehana Bhatti and Nabeela Shah
