Customer Reviews
Words for your Mind
The "In Our Time" series pulls the best contemporary thinkers and scholars into a roundtable discussion to discuss issues of importance: politics, religion, culture, history, philosophy, science, literature, etc. The host finds new scholars each week to discuss a particular topic. Recent topics include a roundtable on astrophysics which attempts to answer--as best we currently know--what the universe is made of. The program was fascinating. Another recent program discusses the origins of angels and how the human concept of angels has evolved over time. If you are looking for a podcast to really make you think, this podcast is for you. You will be hard pressed to find such an interesting discussion in other podcasts.
Strectch Your Mind
In Our Time makes me feel like I am back in college, attending an interesting course in the humanities. The topics stretch the mind. The moderator is knowledgeable in all of the topics, but collects the best minds to discuss the subjects. Topics range from esoteric historic events (such as the Field of Gold) to the broadest topics (such as Gravity).
Clearly
Whatever the subject - philosophy, science, history, or ? - you WILL learn something from this show. Fascinating insights and perspectives. One of the best.
