Customer Reviews
Where are they?
Where are the episodes????
Interesting and enjoyable
Infininite and cage in the same title can be rather paradoxical yet the content was enjoyable. I'm a fan of dr cox so as soon as I heard his voice I knew I would enjoy the broadcast. I'm a total geek for science so this fits my interests quite well. The content is technical but explained in laymans terms, the concepts intriguing.
Excellent!
I think Robin Ince's comic timing and jovial, cynical demeanour perfectly offset Cox's good spirited incisive take on science. The show is accessible, entertaining, pertinent and brilliant. I'd highly recommend it to science experts and newbies alike.
