Virtually non-agenda driven scientific information. Fantastic! I maintain local copies of the entire catalogue and listen frequently.
(Melvin might talk less and listen more and stop with the western religion thing.)
UPDATE: Melvin in spite of any criticisms has been a fantastic interviewer. The body of work he leaves here is invaluable and I can’t think anyone will come close to his proficiency. Thank you, Melvin.

Unbeatable science dialogues. In this world of negativity, it’s nice to tune out and tune in to Melvyn Bragg’s science discussions with various scholars. I beam a smile when I find an episode that I’ve not heard yet.

While the content itself is great, the host is absolutely condescending, especially towards women guests. How we let such misogynistic interviewers get away with this attitude in this day and age is beyond me.
