In spite of having some of the greatest radio in the world here in the UK we have absolutely nothing that comes close to Radiolab. I’ve posted about it before, but it’s so consistently brilliant and mind expanding that I’m going to plug it again. This is one of the shorter podcasts (they’re usually an hour long) and it concerns The king of Spain, his heir, God, and a robotic monk. Who’s not going to be intrigued by that?

And after listening to that, here’s a video of the monk  in action
