Ep8 How does the human body fight diseases?

This week’s episode is about the immune system and how it works to protect humans from diseases caused by viruses and bacteria. Using the garden as an analogy, we explain the difference between red and white blood cells, and the innate and adaptive immune system. In order to make such a serious subject more fun, we break with our narrative style to tell this so-topical story in dialogue form. This episode is read by both Henrietta McMicking and Arthur Akers-Douglas. We are eternally grateful to our amazing sound editor Max Watson. The script was written by Nicola Booth and produced by Camilla Akers-Douglas and Henrietta McMicking. Our theme music is by James Burrell. To contact us, email [email protected] or [email protected] Social media  Twitter @wonder_podcastFacebook @wonderpodcastsInstagram @wonderpodcasts
