In Our Time

In Our Time is a weekly discussion programme on BBC Radio 4, hosted by novelist, presenter and haircut-owner  Melvyn Bragg.  Each programme looks at a different theme in the History of Ideas. This site contains transcripts (not by me) and recordings of previous In Our Time programmes.

Note 20/04/02 - The In Our Time Website has started has recently become really good so I will not update this site any more.
