95. Why do we make mistakes? With Philippa Perry. How do birds form a murmuration and why do they do it? Who invented milkshakes?

On this award-winning show Molly Oldfield, the original QI elf, Guardian kids' quiz compiler and writer (of four books), answers questions sent in by children around the world. This week, we’re kicking off a new season of Everything Under the Sun with a wonderful episode featuring author and psychotherapist Philippa Perry. Philippa answers a question sent in by Noemie about why we make mistakes and gives lots of helpful insights into the importance of failure and how we can learn from our mistakes!  And Molly answers two more curious questions from our listeners: ‘how do birds form a murmuration and why do they do it?’ from Violet and ‘who invented milkshakes?’ from Eliza! Tune in for lots of sunshine and fun and subscribe so you don't miss an episode! We hope you enjoy and thank you so much for supporting Everything Under the Sun!  Everything Under the Sun is also a book!
