But why do we do this? Is it cultural, gendered, or simply ingrained social behaviour?
To explore this, the episode features insights from Dr. Eva Ogiermann, a linguistics expert specialising in apologies across cultures. She explains how apologies have evolved from serious, religious acts of seeking forgiveness into everyday social tools—especially in English, where “sorry” can be used casually and often without deep intent.
Mediator, Stephen Wildblood KC, adds another layer, sharing how apologies function in conflict resolution. He highlights the importance of sincerity, tone, and body language, noting that words alone don’t determine whether an apology feels genuine.
The episode also examines cultural differences. Research shows that British people apologise far more frequently than others—often automatically—while in countries like Germany, apologies are less frequent but more deliberate and meaningful.
Through listener stories, including a failed grand romantic gesture involving graffiti, the episode reveals how complicated apologies can be. Ultimately, it asks: has “sorry” lost its meaning, or has it simply evolved? Hosted on Acast.

When rookie bartender Thuy ventures into the cellar for wine, she awakens more than dusty bottles: a sarcastic, centuries-old ghost who’s thrilled to rant about modern life (“Women marrying women? Dogs in my pub?!”).
From phantom whispers to possessed lovers and bar brawls that echo his own violent end, this ghost’s tale is a chilling cocktail of tragic history, spine-tingling scares, and social changes in the world we live in. 
But beware—he’s not just here to tell stories. He’s here to remind you that some souls never move on… and they’re very opinionated about your “progress.”Pour a stiff drink and listen closely—the walls of The Grenadier have screams (and sarcasm) to spare. If you dare.

A passion that was sparked aged fourteen has kept burning for over fifty years – David has a huge collection of recordings and goes to the opera every week! He tells Elly why classical Italian opera is so unique, the emotions it ignites within him, and why a physical collection is still special. Even if you can’t tell your Pavarotti from your Puccini, or your tenors from your Turandot, you’ll love this. Elly also hears from music psychologists Professor Eric Clarke and Dr Ruth Herbert on why music moves us all. Plus David reveals the secrets of his past as a diva drag queen! From opening note to final curtain call, join Elly as she explores the wonderful world of opera through David’s ears.
