Clara Amfo

Are you drawn to the endless news cycle? Do you keep going back for more? Do you feel a strange compulsion to absorb negative news that is weirdly soothing but makes you more stressed? These are signs you may be doomscrolling. But fear not, you’re not the only one. Stuart Soroka is a professor at UCLA who’s been looking at our draw towards negative information and found that people all over the world do it, regardless of culture. In 2020, our year of misery, the Oxford English Dictionary added doomscrolling and named it a word of the year. With the help of Stuart and Radio and TV presenter Clara Amfo, Ella gets to the bottom of whether we humans really are more biased towards negative information, and what we can do to resist it.

Clara Amfo, award-winning broadcaster and presenter, talks about her beauty game, her favorite beauty products including lip glosses from Fenty Beauty, her skincare and body care routine, and her passion for nail art. She also discusses popular beauty products and tips, including recommendations for Nick's lift and snatch and the Anastasia Brow Freeze.

Clemmie's guest is Radio 1 DJ and Live Lounge host, Clara Amfo. So what happens when a hip hop and RnB fan with a musical theatre obsession tries out classical? We take a trip into Clara's imagination as she describes a love scene conjured up by Beethoven and suggests why she thinks classical music works so well when sampled.Clara's playlist in fullBeethoven: Symphony No 5 Jordi Savall: Canarios Olafur Arnalds: Eyes Shut Chopin: Nocturne in C minor Elgar: Cello Concerto Alissa Firsova: Stabat Mater Richard Strauss: Four Last SongsBonus tracks Debussy: Clair de lune Morten Lauridsen: Les Chansons des Roses James MacMillan: Gallant Weaver Eric Whitacre: Sleep
