Infinite Monkey Cage

Fun BBC Science Podcast

Does anyone else listen to Radio 4's Infinite Monkey Cage.
It's a science/comedy discussion show. with Prof. Brian Cox and Robin Ince, it's currently in the third series. If anyone is interested there's a podcast version available

Yep, I really like it. Maybe you should change the thread title to add 'Fun BBC science programme availanble on podcast'.
Bit of a mouthful, but it'd tip off people who don't get the title!
Oh, and might be worth pointing it out to the science and technology forum...

 

[Bob The Skutter]

Maybe you're right, since no one else seems to be interested.

Had never heard of it until now. Just listened to the Apocalypse one. Good stuff. Have downloaded the other two now aswell, so will be giving them a listen to later. Cheers for the link, Bob.

^I'd listened to the previous 2 series, but I didn't know the third series had started so I just listed to all three so far yesterday, which prompted me to post about it. Brian Cox really had me laughing out loud with his "title" for the second episode.

 

[Servo]

Yeah, that was great.

Just listened to the Modern World one. Am enjoying what I've heard so far. Is there anywhere I can get the first two series from? Can only seem to get the current one off the BBC site.

Just downloaded the 3 available episodes from iTunes. There's always room for more science podcasts.

 

[Bob The Skutter]

^Hope you enjoy them. They've had me properly laughing out loud as well as being informative.

4th and final episode of this series is now up.

Before the first season there was a piece on Feedback, about how series get their titles, when they spoke to the editor and she discussed all the titles they'd been mulling over, and asked for listeners' sugestions. But ISTR that she was already leaning towards Infinite Monkeys...

This stuff is hilarious! I'm listening to the first one on the list right now and it's brilliant!

It looks like a new series starts next Monday at 4:30 on Radio 4.
