47. What Even Is Laughter?

The School for Dumb Women

What’s that noise you’re making? Is a grape stuck in your windpipe or did someone just tell you a funny joke? This week Alex investigates what laughter actually is, while Hannah comes to terms with her ignorance about the Romans (and good coffee) by looking at the life of Emperor Nero, and Caroline turns into your uncle at a family party by explaining where all your favourite sayings come from. Meanwhile this week’s #WomenWhoCode mixer tackles the sweaty teenage world of esports and our Smart Lesson lets you in on the secrets of a Smart Woman’s summer social life.
