@minouette Her skills and contribution to science really come through in this #InOurTime episode about William and Caroline. As ever with IoT, an opportunity to listen in on conversation between experts in the subject. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0011c4p
I found this In Our Time episode on Lewis Carroll's Alice books strangely moving. The guests' enthusiasm for the subject has had me itching to dive back into the Annotated Alice.
How long can it hold?
In a few months' time, Trump should be able to completely fill the vacancies at all levels of the judicial system with his loyalists.
It's clear that when the coup is unfolding, Americans remain indifferent. Of course, some are very vocal on a few independent online platforms. But the majority of Americans will support Fascism no matter what because they want to see the poors being punished and camps are filled.
I found this In Our Time episode on Social Darwinism interesting, not least for the depressing revelation that Darwin himself was a Social Darwinist. I thought they could have run more with the point about Marx also being influenced by Social Darwinism but replacing the idea of conflict between individuals with conflict between classes.
Really enjoying this particularly episode of In Our Time, in which I learned that the world's oldest surviving artwork predates the emergence of our species.
Re-watched “In Our Time” (1944) after too long and was reminded that story-wise it is a hybrid, but one that works quite well and starts out with one of the most touching romances. After twists and turns, it ends up a very hard-hitting wartime drama. One of Ida Lupino’s unjustly overlooked films.
I'm listening to an #InOurTime episode about mathematics' unintended consequences and one of the guests sounds suspiciously like Eleanor Peck. #LovecraftInvestigations

Two minutes with Melvyn Bragg on the Today Programme, on the day of the 1,000th episode of In Our Time.
You'll probably want to know all about Claudius' equally notorious wife empress Agrippina the Younger (most people thought she'd killed him with poison), played by Barbara Young in I, Claudius.
A really fascinating episode of In Our Time, on BBC Sounds.
Ida Lupino and Paul Henreid greet each other while Mary Boland looks on — a scene from “In Our Time” (1944)
