Lovely
Podcast
optimally short and sweet
A really interesting show whether you love maths, or just find it fascinating. I started listing from episode one, and the podcast keeps getting better and better. At this rate, it should coverage on perfection pretty soon! I'm now around episode 170, and thought I should really write a review like I've been meaning to do for a while. Thanks Erik for a great show, and keep up the good work - I'm catching up with you fast!!
