There is a lot of outrage about 'cultural appropriation' - from music drawing heavily on cultural influences to designers stealing ethnic minority designs and even fusion food in the spotlight.

The recent removal of 'national' weeks from The Great British Bake Off prompted the Jury to discuss this sensitive issue.

In this lively podcast episode, we venture into the heart of a timeless inquiry: Is the desire to have children human nature?

Delving into the realms of biology, psychology, and culture, we unravel thelayers that surround this profound question. The Jury debates the fast changing attitudes to having children and the interesting dilemmas this throws up in terms of finances, demographics, gender dynamics and more.

Join the Progress Jury from its base in Birmingham, England - this time against a backdrop of heavy machinary removing festival rigging.
