Who We Are Now with Izzy & Richard Hammond

The Bonus Episode: We're not having a midlife crisis!

Richard and Dr Jim are back! Hot off the heels of their very much NOT midlife crisis trip to the Himalayas, they're diving into the science of the brain after this week's main episode with the brilliant neuroscientist and author Dr Dean Burnett. They dial into the reassuring idea that the brain is shaped by both nature AND nurture, find more evidence that a healthy body really does mean a healthy brain and find out that size actually does matter...

In 2006 Richard Hammond broke his brain. The high-speed jet-powered car he was piloting crashed at 319mph… and the thing that stopped the car from rolling? That was his head. Richard’s been on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth ever since, and now, he’s on a mission to demystify and destigmatise conversations around masculinity, mental health, and the issues that affect us all, in a bid to discover who we are now. Joined by his co-pilot and grown-up daughter Izzy, they’ll dive into the worlds of mid-life crisis’, what makes a modern man, how to raise daughters, and even question what it means to be a little shorter than average... Join Richard, Izzy and Dr Jim, as they try to figure out Who We Are Now.
