Welcome to Episode #145 of Everything Under the Sun!

This week, we're answering some intriguing questions! First, we'll explore why some countries have wars, with insights from our special guest, Lord Alf Dubs—a politician and former refugee with a powerful perspective on conflict and peace. 

We'll also learn what makes baby animals so irresistibly adorable, and why that cuteness is important for their survival. Plus, get ready to discover the curious history behind chickenpox and why it got its unusual name.

Happy listening, everyone!
