cryptocurrency Ethereum's founder Vitalik Buterin, it's an intriguing idea. In the BBC Radio 4 podcast series Intrigue, the 10-part programme The Immortals holds us in rapt fascination. Technology reporter and psychologist Aleks Krotoski dives into the world of extreme longevity, where pioneers like Buterin are pushing the boundaries of what it means to age. Many Valleywalas like Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel have reportedly invested in companies working on tackling ageing — and even death. In episode 7, Vitalik, the spotlight is on the Ether king. In 2022, Buterin floated a radical idea — a state with a constitution declaring that ageing is bad, life extension is good, and innovation in this field should face no barriers. This podcast becomes even more mind-blowing as it digs deeper, from the crypto founder who created a 'longevity city' in Montenegro because he believes we have a moral responsibility to stop ageing, to AI that is already being engineered to create a 'post-human being' merged with machines.

gender controversy at the Paris Olympics, BBC host Steve Backley found himself in the spotlight for using incorrect pronouns when introducing American shot putter Raven Saunders during the 2024 Paris Olympics. Saunders, 28, who identifies as non-binary and uses «they/them» pronouns, was competing in the women’s shot put qualifying round when the incident occurred. Saunders, known for their silver medal win at the Tokyo Olympics and their bold, colourful persona, appeared on the field with hair dyed green and purple and a mask covering much of their face. Backley, however, repeatedly referred to Saunders as «her» during the broadcast, prompting his co-host, Jazmin Sawyers, to correct him live on air. Sawyers gently reminded him, saying, «Raven Saunders is actually non-binary and wearing the mask there, we’re quite used to seeing them with interesting attire.»
