Lipstick and the prodigal podcaster

There's some surprising representatives from the world of science this week, as we cover a new way of telling lipstick varieties apart, and methods of tackling the untrustworthiness of Catholic cardinals. The news, read in part by prodigal podcaster Frank back in town for his PhD viva, includes babies indulging in the guilty pleasure of schadenfreude and yet another theory as to why neanderthals died out. To round up the selection our discussion tackles uncomfortable findings surrounding Facebook and our privacy and our EUWhat covers a novel use for what astronauts produce after a good meal. Enjoy.
