Dermot & Dave

Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt recently revealed that he’s been suffering with prosopagnosia, a condition more commonly known as ‘face blindness’. The actor revealed that he struggles to the point that it makes him not want to leave his house for fear that he’ll be considered as being ‘conceited’ as well as the stress of being surrounded by people he doesn’t recognise. Prosopagnosia is a neurological condition that is incredibly hard to both diagnose, and to treat. To explain more about it, Dermot and Dave were joined by neuroscientist and host of the Super Brain podcast Sabina Brennan.

It's the size of a tennis court, it cost $10 billion and now, the James Webb Space Telescope is showing us space in a way that we've never seen it before. NASA enlisted US President Joe Biden to reveal the first images from the telescope that NASA chief Bill Nelson says show the 'deepest image of our Universe that has ever been taken'. After launching into space back into December, it currently finds itself about 1.5 million kilometres from Earth and is providing us with information and images that could completely change everything we know about what's beyond our own planet. Leo Enright joined Dermot and Dave to explain what we could see, and what it could mean!
