I really should share this with the rest of you as it's so good. This is a programme on the radio that I listen to when driving and it's excellent.

Each week a topic is examined in depth with three experts, it can be anything, science. literature, philosophy, but it's covered in enough depth to give you a really good idea even if it's something you're completely ignorant of.

@Mame,

I like the ones I have some familiarity with, there's one on 12th Night I want to listen to, but even the ones I have little or no knowledge of, like this week's one on panpsychism, (or something similar sounding, I've not checked the spelling,) are very enjoyable.

Last episode was about Heisenberg.

Not one mention of Breaking Bad.

Not even a whisper.

@izzythepush,

That's one of my favorite BBC podcasts, along with "The Forum" and "The Real Story".

@hightor,

I try to plan my drives for Thursdays so I can listen.

Unfortunately I always seem to get the Science ones, and I'd rather the History or Literature, but they're all good.

@izzythepush,

I download them and listen when exercising before breakfast. Great way to begin the day.
