BBC radio show: Thinking Allowed

Will Partain recommended that we check out a BBC radio program called "Thinking Allowed." He calls it "BBC Radio 4's longstanding answer to Boing Boing."

The most recent show looks into the histories of quueing and smoking. Previous programs have covered management of risk in everyday life, single women, gypsies, Space Invaders, charismatic cults, plastination, Carnival and crime, zoos, and serendipity.

(Sadly, it appears that the programs are available only in the incredibly irritating RealPlayer format. Why not MP3 and Bittorent? I would love to start up a fund to buy Real Networks and put them out of their misery.) Link
