Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

Kevin Milne: Reflections on the Queen's funeral

Stephen K. Amos does the talking so that audiences can do the laughing. 

Many will know the British comedian from his regular spots on UK television shows like ‘Live at The Apollo’ and ‘QI’.  

Right now, he’s working the festival circuit in Australia, before he heads our way in May with his new show deconstructing the science of laughter.  

The show is called ‘Now We’re Talking’, and it delves into what exactly laughter does to a person, physically and emotionally. 

“And then I talk about how it’s important for us to keep talking in a world where there’s a lot of noise out there, and people aren’t listening enough,” Amos told Jack Tame.  

But why is laughter so infectious? Amos says it’s do to with human connection.  

“The mirror neuron – you see somebody laugh, you laugh.” 

“It’s a shared experience, and on your own, I suppose people don’t want to look odd if they’re just sitting by themselves and then guffawing like a bit of a lunatic.” 

“But it is, it’s good for the soul.”

Humankind is returning to the moon. 

NASA launched its first manned mission to the moon in over fifty years earlier this week – sending four astronauts on the Artemis II on a ten day journey to circle the celestial body. 

And though many young kids dream of being an astronaut one day, Kevin Milne isn’t sure he could hack it.

UK singer-songwriter Arlo Parks has released her third studio album – Ambiguous Desire.  

It’s a departure from her previous albums, both of which held more rock and alternative elements, whereas this one is filled with the sounds of nightlife – house, garage, and techno.  

Chris Schulz joined Jack Tame to share his thoughts on the album.
