For a long time, one's 20s were viewed as the defining decade of a person's life. The cultural norm was that this was the decade in which one would find a partner, get married, settle down and buy a house. But, even for those who want to pursue such a life plan, the economic shifts of the past twenty years mean that such a route now looks all-but impossible.
In this fortnight's episode of Induction, Tom chats with Leena Norms about the weight of social expectations in one's 20s and how to survive them in a world on fire.

Nevertheless, the world in which Shakespeare was writing was clearly a very different on to that which we live in today. So, what is it that keeps audiences, creatives and other thinkers coming back to his work?
In today's episode of Induction, Tom chats with Philosophy Tube creator and writer behind The Prince, Abigail Thorn.
