Great British Radio & Lecture Programmes

For anyone stuck anywhere, quarantined, in a car, train or plane for a long journey, or just wanting their mind stimulated with something other than news, then I’d highly recommend these absolutely fabulously amazingly fascinating and interesting British (mostly BBC radio) programmes. You can listen to these anywhere anytime via the wonders of the internet! Have fun:-)

Little historical aside: I actually became a physicist as a result of seeing Professor Eric Laithwaite’s talks in 1974.
