What is the offside rule? Now, now, let’s not get carried away. England may have beaten old rivals Germany on Tuesday evening to seal a place in the Euro 2020 quarter finals, but they still need to win three more matches to lift the trophy at Wembley on July 11th. In the meantime, let’s talk about one of football’s oldest and yet still most confusing rules: law 11, more commonly known as offside.

Why should I eat more fermented foods? Each year, International Beer Day is celebrated on the first Friday of August. As you may know, beer is produced using only four ingredients: water, hops, malt and yeast, through a process called fermentation. Of course beer is harmful in excessive quantities, but don’t let that give you any misconceptions about fermented foods. Generally speaking, they play an important role in boosting gut health. There are many other alcohol-free alternatives too, if you’re looking for a fermented beverage. These include kombucha, a fermented tea which contains B vitamins and vitamin C, and kefir, which is a kind of fermented milk.How do fermented foods interact with our bodies? How does fermentation actually work? How can I get started producing homemade fermented foods?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !To listen to the last episodes, you can click here :What is trauma dumping, the toxic equivalent of oversharing?How did Feta cheese end up causing an international legal battle?Why is Y2K style coming back into fashion?A podcast written and realised by Joseph Chance.In partnership with upday UK.

What is trauma dumping, the toxic equivalent of oversharing? It’s common for good friends to tell each other about pretty much everything going on in their lives. Within healthy friendships, it’s a way of bonding and supporting one another, especially when one of the friends is struggling. But sometimes this goes drastically overboard, and someone shares something really personal and traumatic without prior warning or getting permission. That kind of unsolicited oversharing has been labelled trauma dumping. Bear in mind trauma dumping is not a clinical term. It caught on online, after a woman, apparently a therapist, posted a video on Tiktok deriding one of her patients. She used the caption “When a client wants to trauma dump first session”.Wait a minute, aren’t therapists supposed to be there to listen to your problems? What are the negative consequences of trauma dumping? What’s the best way to deal with trauma dumping?

It’s also made headlines in European political news, due to what was lightheartedly labelled the “feta battle” between Greece and Denmark.What are the characteristics of feta?

After all, depending on their stature, they may have millions of fans, but there’s only one of them! It’s a very modern-day phenomenon, isn’t it?!
