Listen "Drugs, Depression, Diet, and a Dutch Utopia?"
Episode Synopsis
Peter Hitchens is so anti-drugs, and so engaged with his moral compass he won't even consider taking the fictional recreationals, while Sarah Vine has been on antidepressants for over a decade and swears by her 'fat jab’.This, while Peter dreams of a Dutch like utopia where cars are rarely seen and children are safe to walk to school.
