Little Atoms
Found this radio show via Philippe Legrain’s website. It is originally broadcast on resonance 104.4 FM in London on Friday’s 19:00 - 19:30.
From its website:
“Little Atoms is a show about ideas. Each show features a guest from the worlds of science, journalism, politics, academia, human rights or the arts in conversation.
If the show has a dominant and recurring theme, then it coalesces around the ideas of the Enlightenment, by which we mean freedom of expression, free inquiry, empirical rationalism, scepticism, the scientific method, secular humanism and liberal democracy. These ideas find their opposite in superstition, religious fundamentalism, fanaticism, medievalism, totalitarianism, censorship and conspiracy theory.
Our guests bring ideas that are challenging, sometimes controversial, often polemical, but always interesting.”
Have listened to the Philippe Legrain, Jon Ronson, Francis Wheen and Stewart Lee interviews so far and seems quite good.
There are many other fine Resonance FM shows available as free downloads. Might I recommend Frank Key’s “Hooting Yard On The Air” which I love.
cheers. I’ll definitely have a listen.
