Subject: Re: [ccp4bb] Crystallography on BBC Radio 4 next week
I'd just like to comment that In Our Time is usually pretty good. I caught the
end of this morning's program on the Borgias. After hearing about murder,
nepotism and incest, it was a bit disorientating to hear Melvyn announce
crystallography as the next subject :)

Dear all,
I have had several queries about this off-list, so here are some
clarifications.
I don't know if Melvyn Bragg is related to WL and WH Bragg. I doubt it,
but if he is maybe he will say. (Bragg is a fairly common name in
English.)
The normal subject matter of "In Our Time" is humanities-based (i.e.
art, history, philosophy etc.), but they deal with scientific or
mathematical subjects occasionally.
There are two live broadcasts, at 09:00 and 21:30 UK time. The later
one
is a shortened version (edited from about 42 mins to about 28), so
better to listen to the earlier one if you can.
There are three options for listening other than the terrestrial radio
broadcast. All should work outside the UK (restrictions on using the
BBC
iPlayer overseas mostly apply only to television, or on the radio to
certain special broadcasts such as some sporting events).
(i) Live on the internet at the times above: go to the programme page
at
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s> and click on the "LISTEN"
icon (with a picture of a small loudspeaker) towards the upper right of
the page.
(ii) Using iPlayer after the second broadcast has finished. Go to the
programme page at <http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s> and click
on the "Listen now" button on the left of the picture illustrating the
programme. In principle this should become available within a few
minutes of the end of the second broadcast (i.e. soon after 22:00 UK
time), but sometimes there is a longer delay of up to an hour. It won't
expire, so you can always listen on another day.
(iii) Download a podcast in mp3 format from
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot>. This will become available
sometime after the second broadcast has finished, but it could be a day
or two afterwards. These podcasts also don't expire or disappear: you
can download them years after the original broadcasts.
Options (ii) and (iii) will get you the full rather than the shortened
version of the programme.
Regards,
Peter.

Dear all,
On Thursday next week, the BBC radio program "In Our Time" will be
discussing the history of crystallography. The link to the program is
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p0s9s>. Unfortunately, it doesn't
say
who the guests are, but they usually manage to find people with
something
interesting to say, even if the presenter Melvyn Bragg's grasp of
scientific
material isn't always that great.
I think that from outside the UK it is possible to listen live from
the link
above, and that a day or two after the broadcast a podcast will be
available
to download from <http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/iot>.
Regards,
Peter.
