@minouette Her skills and contribution to science really come through in this #InOurTime episode about William and Caroline. As ever with IoT, an opportunity to listen in on conversation between experts in the subject. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0011c4p

Here's a catchup on our #solarsystem as 7 #planets will be visible this month! (Last time until 2040, appaz) #InOurTime https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p004y25b?partner=uk.co.bbc&origin=share-mobile

I found this In Our Time episode on Lewis Carroll's Alice books strangely moving. The guests' enthusiasm for the subject has had me itching to dive back into the Annotated Alice.

How long can it hold?

In a few months' time, Trump should be able to completely fill the vacancies at all levels of the judicial system with his loyalists.

It's clear that when the coup is unfolding, Americans remain indifferent. Of course, some are very vocal on a few independent online platforms. But the majority of Americans will support Fascism no matter what because they want to see the poors being punished and camps are filled. :eyeroll:

Men round a table, ready for radio panel discussion

Melvyn comes on strong with some background on the theory of Martin Heidegger

Obviously hungover panelist "fucking hell, Melvyn - it's a bit early for all that don't you think?"

Listened to #BBCradio4 #InOurTime's episode on #OrkneyingaSaga while cooking my tea, and now wondering why on earth why on earth it hasn't been turned into a modern high production values TV series.

Fabulous #sciencecommunication from @BBCRD - #InOurTime slot ranges across so many subject areas, but #MelvynBragg seems to have the knack for #LifeSciences

#inourtime episode on the #antikythera mechanism: despite having read on it extensively I'm always amazed at the new findings that keep coming out, re-adjusting our perception of the scientific knowledge in the Ancient Mediterranean!

TIL that C17th poet George Herbert did One Song To The Tune Of Another, and an anagram poem. #ISIHAC-ving a laugh? #InOurTime

"Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the origins of the idea that there might be shortcuts between galaxies and the challenges when proving these are not just unlikely but impossible"

Lucid discussion of Rawl's Theory of Justice: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001h4bz . Highly recommended.

I found this In Our Time episode on Social Darwinism interesting, not least for the depressing revelation that Darwin himself was a Social Darwinist. I thought they could have run more with the point about Marx also being influenced by Social Darwinism but replacing the idea of conflict between individuals with conflict between classes.

Really enjoying this particularly episode of In Our Time, in which I learned that the world's oldest surviving artwork predates the emergence of our species.
