Morðabelgur

Því miður vill það brenna við að morð eru framin á okkar litlu eyju. Mjög góðar skráningar og heimildir eru um þetta leiðinda athæfi hér. Við skoðum tvö afar ólík morðmál sem þó ekki eru svo langt frá okkur í tíma. Annað er frá 1891, þar sem durgurinn Jón fer á kostum. Hitt málið er frá 1929, þar sem hlífðargleraugu, ferðamaður og enn einn Jóninn leikur aðalhlutverk. Hversu marga Jóna þarf til að skapa eina smáþjóð? Og hvernig er hægt að refsa fyrir morð? Enn sýnum við snilli okkar í landafræði, líffræði, prósentureikningi og ekki síst í skilningi á lengdar og breiddargráðum. En því meiri hljóta spæjarahæfileikar okkar að vera. Allt sem þarf er jú hattur og vindill? Sigrún átti afmæli við gerð þessa þáttar.

Beware Tech Tycoons with Piranha Tanks - with Katie Prescott

Mike Lynch was often lauded as Britain's answer to Bill Gates. Born into a working-class family, Lynch's incredible intellect and passion for computers led him to become a billionaire tech entrepreneur. But behind the scenes, Lynch was a bully who couldn't bear criticism and was prone to creative accounting. When computer giant Hewlett Packard bought his company, Autonomy, it triggered one of the biggest fraud scandals in Silicon Valley history. Tim talks to Katie Prescott, Technology Business Editor at The Times and author of the book The Curious Case of Mike Lynch, about the lessons we can take from a story no one could have predicted.
