The Incomplete Shambles Podcast

On this episode of Science Shambles, Robin tries to get his head further around quantum physics with two guests who've both just released new books on the subject. Two of Britain's best science writers, Jim Baggot and Philip Ball drop by to talk Einstein, quantum woo and more. This week, as a special bonus, an extended episode of Science Shambles is available for Patreon supporters. Head to patreon.com/bookshambles

Robin Ince is joined by two of The Cosmic Shambles Network's blog contributors, Ginny Smith and Marcus Chown. They chat about why the brain is so stubborn about accepting evidence, quantum physics in the studio window and then stand up mathematician Matt Parker pops by for a minute for a spot of maths chat.

Recorded live at Latitude, it's a Book Shambles - Science Shambles crossover. Robin Ince hosts a discussion about The Magick of the Future, which is to say, what scientific discoveries and technological advancements are so incredible they seem like magic? Robin is joined by author John Higgs and scientists and broadcaster Dr Suzi Gage and Dr Lucy Rogers. You can support the show at patreon.com/bookshambles Book Shambles will be on a short hiatus for a couple of weeks now as the entire team is up at the Edinburgh Fringe. If you're up there, come and see some of our live shows with special guests such as Neil Gaiman and Ian Rankin. Entry is free! Info at cosmicshambles.com/events/edfringe

In 2018 the Nobel Prize winning physicist Richard Feynman would've turned 100 years old. But Richard Feynman was so much more than just one of the greatest physicists, the greatest scientists, of the 20th century. He was a beautiful writer, a man of boundless curiosity, a bongo player, a clown. Fellow physicist Freeman Dyson once said that Feynman was "Half genius, half buffoon". He would later revise those words, replacing them with "All genius, all buffoon." This documentary, presented by Robin Ince, features new and exclusive interviews with those that knew him and have been inspired by him including Professor Brian Cox, Dr Helen Czerski, Dr Marcus Chown and Dr Leonard Mlodinow. Produced and Edited by Trent Burton Documentaries like this are made possible due to the support of our Patreon pledgers. To join them visit patreon.com/bookshambles

On May 11th 2018 the Nobel Prize winning physicist Richard Feynman would've turned 100 years old. But Richard Feynman was so much more than just one of the greatest physicists, the greatest scientists, of the 20th century. He was a beautiful writer, a man of boundless curiosity, a bongo player, a clown. Fellow physicist Freeman Dyson once said that Feynman was "Half genius, half buffoon". He would later revise those words, replacing them with "All genius, all buffoon." So we at The Cosmic Shambles Network have put together an audio documentary featuring interviews with fellow physicists and Feynman admirers to mark this occasion. Presented by Robin Ince and featuring interviews with Professor Brian Cox, Dr Helen Czerski, Professor Jon Butterworth, Dr Leonard Mlodinow, Dr Marcus Chown, Chris Addison, Christopher Sykes and more. And featuring music from Grace Petrie, Rachel Fisher, Patrick Cootes and The FGs. The trailer was released on Feynman's 100th birthday. The full documentary will be released very soon.
