The Infinite Monkey Cage

[Hacker Khan]

Must be said, the last few podcasts of this have been excellent. Especially the one on 'What is Race?' Some fascinating stuff, for instance, how far back in time do you have to go before everyone who is currently alive in Europe can be traced back to a person who was alive then? Answer in the podcast

Also the one last week on 'The Maths of Love and Sex' was really good as was the one 'What is Reality'. Where they said something like the chances are what we perceive as reality is actually half a second in the past. Or something like that, I didn't quite understand. Well worth a listen to nourish your brain whilst you are out walking the dog.

The BBC do a fantastic array of great podcasts. I download them to my phone and then listen to them whilst driving around the country.
You learn so much and find out so many interesting things to bore your friends with as well.
In Our Time is another good one but there are so many to choose from.

Yes, a pretty decent listen

Here here, worth the license fee along I'd say. This is the daddy to me http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/desert-island-discs/find-a-castaway/audio/download

Every time I go on holiday involving a long drive I just dive into this, stick a few on a SD card and there's several hours of quality listening sorted out.

Love it too. But sometimes they don't have the right comedic guest in there. I mean, how can you do a tour in California, have a episode about string theory, and not have Jim Parsons on the board? :angry:

But it is astonishing how many comedians hold relevant degrees in match, physics, theology, ... in this country.
