every one of us is a zoo in our own right – a colony enclosed within a single body. a multi-species collective. an entire world."

in this episode, we chat to science writer ed yong about his upcoming book and the new york times bestseller, i contain multitudes: the microbes within us and a grander view of life.

it's a book about the trillions of microbes that live on us and within us; microbes that build our bodies and organs, protect us from disease, shape our behaviour and drive the processes for life on earth.
