In Episode 7, James gets both sides of the story on the age-old debate on prostitution from Julie Bindel, the journalist and radical feminist and Catherine Stephens, a sex-worker activist. The recent European premiere of Australian documentary 'Scarlet Road' has made the taboo of disabled access to paid for sex a provocative talking point. But is it a game-changer for campaigners on either side of the prostitution question?

In Episode 6 of his podcast, James talks to Dr. Michael Davidson of the Christian group behind the 'gay conversion' adverts banned from London's buses. 2012 has so far seen the Government consulting on gay marriage and the campaign to legalize same-sex unions gaining momentum. But in the run up to the London Mayoral Election, the adverts proclaiming ‘Not Gay! Ex Gay, Post Gay and Proud’ were produced as a response to Stonewall’s slogan ‘Some People Are Gay. Get Over It.’ Which side are you on? Tweet @THEJamesWhale with your opinions on censorship and sexuality.

In Episode 5, James addresses the nation’s expanding waistlines. In May, an obese teen needed a wall of her house to be removed before she could get to hospital. And a recent poll showed that 54% of doctors surveyed felt that the clinically obese should forfeit the right to non-emergency NHS treatment. James meets Kathryn Szrodecki, a size acceptance campaigner and qualified fitness instructor, to ask whether Britain needs to fight the flab or get more fat-friendly.

In Episode 4 James and his guests, Rosemary Parr, Yvonne Roberts and Martin Bright turn their attention to the increasing problem of youth unemployment.

In Episode 3 James and his guests, Sheldon Thomas, Yvonne Roberts and Martin Bright, turn their attention to the epic subject of Crime and Punishment.
