This episode feels like it has been a long time coming, frankly. Nobel Laureates include some of the best of us - and, as we discover today, some of the worst of us too. Science storyteller Kat Arney joins us to help guide us through a ceremony full of failure, with misogynistic self-publicists, war-mongering peace prize winners and the worst category of all: Economics.
