Hello, you're about to listen to a BBC podcast, so I'd like to tell you where you'll find more just like it.

I'm Izzy Lee Poulton, an assistant commissioner for BBC Sounds, which means I'm involved in the whole podcast making process.

Whether that's developing fresh formats or facilitating eye-catching artwork, I helped project manage all the details that make our podcast stand out.

Today, they're even smarter.

So how can we use these super intelligent motors?

Well, cut out the middleman and let them drive themselves. Right from the start,

mankind has been making a mess in space. Gloves, fragments from old satellites, all bowling along

at around 10 kilometres a second. Soon these scrap metal bullets were knocking satellites out

of commission. Shuttle windows were shattered by flecks of paint.

It's taken 20 years, but at last, surgeons can stay put,

and the patients countered them by hologram.

The spray that resequences your sweat glands,

so even your perspiration comes up smelling of roses.
