BBC Inside Science Podcast
Today's site offers an informal and possibly downright chatty science broadcast
from the BBC. Gentle Subscribers who prefer their science news presented in a
lively and enjoyable manner will find this podcast ticks most of their boxes.
"A weekly programme that illuminates the mysteries and challenges the
controversies behind the science that's changing our world. ... BBC Inside
Science is produced in partnership with The Open University."- from the website
Hitting the sweet spot between the somber and the realm of Junk Science, this
BBC podcast both engages and informs. The website provides a convenient rundown
of the current episode's highlights, along with a link to the complete archives
of more than 500 broadcasts, each in the neighborhood of 30 minutes. Although
some topics may be more relevant to UK listeners, most themes are germane to a
wider audience. Recent subjects have covered Chatbot Plagiarism, Killer Whales,
and Unexpected Medical Uses for Artificial Sweeteners, while another speculates
about a what world with very cheap and superabundant energy would be like.
