We now have podcasts on Elizabeth Anscombe (bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001n1yy) and Iris Murdoch (bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0010q90). Mary Midgley appeared on the programme in 1998 (Science in the 20th Century: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p005457h).

So I think we're just waiting for a programme on Philippa Foot.

Listening to the podcast about superconductivity, for the first time I heard a physicist try to explain physics via a cognitive metaphor, rather than the other way around.

Listening to this week was a reminder of the reasons for . From the 19thC London’s liquid sewage was pumped into the Thames; solids from 8 million Londoners were dumped in the North Sea. This went on until 1998 (!) when the brought the law to , and insisted on safe alternatives. And what did do as soon as it could? They let the water co’s start pumping sewage into our waterways again. That’s what Brexit means: Shit in our rivers, shit on our beaches.

Interesting history. I need to relisten tomorrow because I retain too little of this one. I have learned more history from In Our Time than all of school.

Nobody on seems AT ALL fazed by the fact that the consultants on the great Bazalgette Sewage Scheme of the 1860s were called Galton & Simpson...

Someone wise once told me to "learn something about everything and everything about something". BBC's "In our time" is an ideal companion for the former. The episode about "1816 - The Year Without a Summer" was incredible. Give it a listen!

BBC’s radio show/podcast is almost always a treat. The episode on Persuasion by is fantastic. does a great job selecting and corralling experts.

We're very lucky to have : it's like university lectures that anyone can sit in on. And for once, the gif is entirely appropriate.

Any other enthusiasts here? I enthusiastically await the broadcast (well, as I listen to them, at least) of each new episode.
This recent one in which Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Challenger Expedition of 1872-1876 was particularly interesting. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001fcvd

I've been listening to the 's for years now. The episode I heard today, about is perhaps unique. Rather than merely asking his guests questions, or to read a few lines, himself intervenes to read the end of *Dulce et Decorum Est*.

Poems that are dear to his heart, it seems. Merited.

(An unusual ending to the episode too...)
