Afternoons with Helen Farmer

Wednesday, 13 August 2025 - 1 hour 21 minutes

Why do we still fall for toxic leaders, and what does that say about how we see the world? A new study reveals how our worldview might shape the leaders we choose, and how happy we are at work. The lead author of the research Christine Nguyen joins us live from Columbia Business School, with leadership consultant Paul Littlejohn in studio.

Then: “Summer shading” has been dubbed the worst dating trend of 2025. But could pressing pause on love during the heat of the season actually teach us something deeper about relationships? Relationship expert Nicola Beer weighs in.

And finally, would you take a job that exposes you to the internet’s darkest content, daily? We go behind the scenes with a person who protects your feed. Hear the story of a content moderator from one of the world's biggest social media platforms, plus expert insight from Dr. Kirin Hillier and Prof. Talal Abdul Ghani Shaikh.
