"BBC’s relentlessly heady In Our Time, which features the presenter Melvyn Bragg in continuous, rotating conversations with academics about all sorts of esoteric subjects...Less universally, it’s also the same pleasure that drives my personal affinity for eavesdropping on scores of roughly made independent podcasts featuring people talking in detail about something I know little about."

"In Our Time is gloriously minimal, with no heavy usage of whizz-bang sound effects that betrays a fear of losing your attention, and the conversations are almost entirely absent of hand-holding."
