It’s our last episode of season 2!! We cannot believe it.

Today we are going to be talking about LOVE… No, it is not valentines day but Yaz has some interesting stories about her love life and she delves into what’s going on in the science behind this crazy emotion.

Dating and love can be difficult, you feel a strong desire for someone but maybe you aren’t sure about your feelings. Yaz discusses the reasons you may be feeling a certain way. We discuss hormones, studies of the brain and our own stories.

Then after all of this talk about love, we will be doing our LaboraTEA a little bit different. We will be hosting THE BIG FAT SO CULTURED PODCAST QUIZ….. If you’re an avid listener you will be used to some dumb comments or questions, so why not put it to the test? You will also get the chance to take part.

Let us know your scores in the question box on Spotify!

Please remember that this podcast is intended for mature audiences only, as we occasionally delve into subjects that may not be suitable for younger listeners.
