A year on from our last foray into the primordial cosmos, The Open Universe revisits this most consequential of questions: do the JWST's ground-breaking observations break the Universe itself? This is a question not to be treated lightly – so it's just as well that in this episode, we're joined by two experts: an observer, Sandro Tacchella (Cambridge), and a theorist, Julian Munoz (U. Texas Austin) in a cross-continental cross-examination of the latest evidence. (Recorded in August 2025)
