The Infinite Monkey Cage

Anyone else listen to this on Radio 4?

"Science/comedy chat with Brian Cox, Robin Ince and guests. Witty, irreverent look at the world according to science with physicist Brian Cox and comedian Robin Ince."

Thanks to Nil mentioning on another thread the other day because I wouldn't have heard of it otherwise.

You can download the podcast versions here. Although I don't think they're all listed? http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/timc

I wish there were more programs like this on radio and TV. It's nice because it just hovers over the line of my understanding of what they're bloody talking about. And I realise that this isn't really that in depth.

I'm not sure where to post this thread so it can go into General until someone else decides otherwise.

I like it, it's fun and informative.

The last one I listened to was Brian (the physicist) arguing with a philosopher about consciousness. It was flipping mental.

When it on? And it sounds like comedy so it'd slot into the Current radio thread.

The last one had Alan Moore on, with his view that a sock puppet created and runs the universe.

It's on Monday's I think.

I'm not sure, I"m just listening to the podcasts in the meantime. I think there's a series on at the moment, but I never get a chance to listen to radio shows live. So I'll just download it when I get the chance.

Me neither. I listen on iPlayer in work (once everybody's gone home) http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b011zm32/The_Infinite_Monkey_Cage_Series_4_Episode_4/

This series is much better than earlier ones, which tended to be neither funny nor informative. Are there any science programmes without Brian Cox on?

Repeats start again tonight, at 11pm, on Radio 4.

Mmmm, nice one. Shall d/load. taa

New series apparently. My mistake.

Love it, very informative and amusing.
