Goodbye, Science In Action

That was the last episode of Science in Action, a BBC World Service weekly hosted by Roland Pease. I know there’s Inside Science. There's also Nature’s podcast which—believe me—I’ve tried to like, but it’s sterile compared to the rapport Pease created with scientists. I will miss it.  

Maybe the rumoured “The Rest is Science” from Goalhanger will fill the gap, but I doubt it.

The closest we now have is Jim Al-Khalili on The Life Scientific. (I still expect him to tell his guest, “Time for your second disc”, as if it’s some kind of Desert Island Discs just for scientists.)

I’ll cling on to Inside Health, All in the Mind, and of course Crowd Science.  These are great shows, but they’re not Science in Action.
