In Our Time BBC

If only all podcasts were of this quality! It is neither just a read out monologue nor a hard to follow interview dialogue but a great, sometimes even humorous conversation of easy to listen to, well chosen experts combining critical different point of views in a harmonic way. The amount of research the presenter does himself allows him to ask the kind of questions necessary to build bridges between the disciplines to actually understand the analytical depths of the discussed topic. On top of that the discussion is lead by true interest and very friendly and respectfully carried out.

A difficult brief to academically explain a substantial subject over a longish time, but always successful and well refereed by the presenter, even though science is clearly not his bag. Tea or coffe?
