If you listen to Al Green, then the answer is probably 'yes'! :)

This recent Guardian Science Weekly episode delves into the fascinating world of music where presenter Alok Jah and Philip Ball start their discussion with Darwin's idea of music being a form a sexual display.  The programme continues with other topics, such as Sean Caroll's recent book on the Theory of Time, as well as a round up of recent goings on in the world of science.

A great programme to exercise your mind at the start of this week.
