This week on Fortunately, economist and author Noreena Hertz joins Fi and Jane. Noreena discusses her book The Lonely Century, which looks into how we can combat loneliness in the modern world. Noreena tells Fi and Jane about robot carers, chatty benches and rent-a-friends, as well as being a tester for Jane's idea for a new 'signature' question. Before Noreena there's historic feminine hygiene and a last minute battery run.
