Science In The Making

July 7th, 2008 by Russell Davies

I caught the tail end of this while washing-up. Radio seems to do this behind the scenes in the workplace extremely well, I guess it’s less intrusive than telly. And this peep behind the curtain at ocean science is combined with interesting philosophical chat about the nature of doing science. Lots of Popper talk. Always the mark of a good radio programme. Stephen Webster does a lovely job with this, chatty when chatting, sharp when philosophising. Of course, it would be nice if I could also have pointed you at programme 1 in the series, but it’s gone. Ah well. For more science sounds from Speechification you can go here. MP3 here.

Presenter: Stephen Webster

    Nice. Liked the bit on the boat when they had to stop recording because Mr Boat Driver revved the engine up a bit. Very radio.

    I loved this - I’m going to have to try and find the other ones now. Thank you for your sterling work in finding all these programming gems for me :)
