My favourite podcast
This is my favourite podcast. I look forward to downloading it every week, and have marked some of the episodes so that they won't automatically delete. Only occasionally is the subject not of interest. The conversation is intelligent, the guests can disagree without shouting at each other, and the host is amazingly well read on the matter at hand.
An accessible, intelligent and engaging program!!
Although the show’s format can be a little formulaic at times, it always remains interesting and highly provocative. A great show for those with a broad interest in the humanities, especially philosophy, history, and science. Highly recommended!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/inourtime/
In Our Tme with Melvyn Bragg
