Out of Afghanistan and into the office

The New Normal

20-08-2021 • 1 hr 6 mins

Richard Porritt, Cash Boyle and Matt Withers return to bring you the week’s news, politics, gags, gaffes and guests in The New Normal.

This week they discuss the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, the rapid Taliban takeover, the UK government's faltering response and what the future might hold.

As James Dyson becomes the latest figure to demand an immediate return to the office, Nicky Hoyland, CEO of tech firm Huler, joins us to explain why remote working has its benefits.

Dr Hannah Bradshaw of Washington and Jefferson College in Pennsylvania pops by to tell us about her study showing that fussy eaters who avoid new foods are less likely to be thought sexually attractive.

Plus there's Nando's running out of chicken and what it says about Brexit and the sad passing of the brilliant Sean Lock.
