Never Forget Radio
+ Read morePossibly the only 9/11-related podcast that is neither about conspiracy theories or heroism, Never Forget Radio instead tries to remember our post-9/11 era as history, cultural quarry, and ongoing catastrophe, through a left and hopefully feminist perspective.

Eyre on Air
+ Read moreEyre on Air is a period drama podcast…mostly. Every two weeks, Jenn, Joe, and Kelsey watch and review a movie or television show set in the past, make incredibly inane and inappropriate jokes, and try to give you as much historical background information as their collective degrees and internet sleuthing will allow. If you’ve got a boner for obscure facts about royals and get annoyed that there aren’t enough POC in your period dramas, then we’re the podcast for you!

The physical world: waves and relativity – for iPod/iPhone
+ Read moreThis album explores the science of waves. Five video tracks feature two pair trawling fishermen from the Cornish village of Looe. Their lives and livelihoods depend on gadgets like radio, GPS and radar. This album explores the physics behind this technology, gives a simple introduction to wavelengths and looks back to the discovery of electromagnetism and the invention of radio. To demonstrate just how vital waves are, the two captains turn off their modern communication tools and try traditional methods of keeping in touch. In addition, two bonus video tracks explore Newton’s laws of motion and Einstein’s special theory of relativity, which give us our most basic insight into space and time. This material forms part of the course S207 The physical world.
