When my skin is feeling dry, I want a moisturizer that I can actually feel working. But I don't want to feel it sitting on my face all day. That's what I love about Clinique Moisture Surge 100-hour moisturizer. It's this lightweight gel cream that absorbs so quickly and my skin just feels instantly refreshed, plump and hydrated. Never greasy or heavy.

Feels like Moisture Surge. I'm Adam Rutherford. And I'm Jessica Foster-Cue. And this is The Infinite Monkey Cage. An experiment. Where science collides with comedy. What if the universe was just folded that way and it unfolded? Sure. I mean, I'm not.

2:03Excuse me, I have to go write a paper. I'll go right back. With guests including Ria Lina, Zoe Lyons, Tim Minchin and Hugh Dennis. It's the most ridiculously complicated subject. How do you geography? Different monkeys, same cage. The new series of The Infinite Monkey Cage on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.

2:25Is World War II back up for debate? I'm Tristan Redman, host of the Global Story podcast from the BBC. If you live in Europe or the US, the chances are you thought the rights and wrongs of World War II were mostly settled. Which is why some of us were surprised to find out that the podcaster Tucker Carlson not only disagreed, but he's been podcasting about it with a British politician. Today on the show, we explore why. Listen to The Global Story on BBC.com or wherever you listen.
