Ants and caregivers

It is the notion of mutual aid that is on the program of the first episode of 

Take the time

.

Pablo Servigne, an expert biology researcher on ants, explains that the law of the strongest is not the law that governs relationships in the animal kingdom, contrary to the widespread belief of the "law of the jungle".

He responds to Charles Osborn, a janitorial manager in Sète, who had opened his vacant accommodation to caregivers during confinement, so that they could sleep near their place of work.

But if the two interlocutors answer each other, it is actually in a figurative sense.

The podcast indeed adopts a particular narrative format, to discover at the rate of two episodes uploaded every Wednesday on all podcast platforms.
