Easter holidays don't get in the way of the Guardian's science team, who bring science writer and ecologist John Whitfield into the pod to discuss the metaphorical death of the polymath.

Plus, we discuss electrosensitivity: is it a myth, or a modern day malady? And Science Weekly troubadour Jonny Berliner returns to the pod with an exclusive performance.
