Decided to try out some of the BBC's Beta podcast trial broadcasts from their various radio stations this morning...
They don't offer all their shows, just a few, but it was great to be able to pick and choose what to listen to, and where, and when...
My choices?
Radio 1 - The Best of Chris Moyles (He's in New York at the moment)
Radio 2 - Chris Evans - The Best Bits (Patrick Stewart was in the studio)
Radio 4 - In our Time (what is being done to prove the existence of the elusive "graviton" by modern physicists)
Chris Moyles was the funniest (and seems to be deliberately put together for podcast listeners), Patrick Stewart is always a pleasure to listen to (not going to comment on Chris Evans) and "In our Time" was very interesting indeed (three excellent speakers - Roger Cashmore (Former Research Director at CERN and Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford) Jim Al-Khalili (Professor of Physics at the University of Surrey) and Sheila Rowan (Reader in Physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Glasgow) who all managed to speak in easy to comprehend terms and yet be brilliantly enlightening for the physics novice)...
I guess I kind of made my ideal morning Radio line up...I'll be giving positive feedback to the Beeb on this service (since they are asking) and hopefully they will roll it live across the board... ;)
