You aren't likely to land on your head.
There's not much specifically relevant to cycling in the podcast - and I thought it was kinda funny that they slammed Teresa May for providing unwelcome opinions where the statement about helmets and body armor was just as tosh-driven - although it is funny and interesting.

Antidotes
I'm going to give that a listen mate. I always wear a helmet on the commute just due to the speed I'm going at, if I catch an unexpected pot hole etc I'm likely to land on my bonce.
But after my most recent ped strike I've invested in a pair of these bad boys: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/troy-lee-designs-bp-7605-short/rp-prod59933
I landed right on my hip, black and blue for two weeks, these should save me a bit. I haven't had a chance to "test them out" yet but I'm two weeks over due and I've been faced with some pretty intense walls recently.
