Educative series

Would you consider the audio edition of Infinite Monkey Cage, Series 6, 7, 8, and 9 to be better than the print version?

It is a radio programme

Any additional comments?

This series is very enjoyable to listen to, humorous at times and very informative. I have tried to listen on the radio but have missed several episodes so I have really enjoyed catching up on the ones I have missed. I have also re-listened to several to ensure I have understood some of the scientific facts

Great stuff

Really enjoyed this series. I think to go in just a bit more depth would have been welcome - perhaps that would have required slightly longer episodes.

Not relevant

Who was your favorite character and why?

not relevant

Any additional comments?

Factual and funny. Brian Cox and Robin Ince are a great double act: the intellectual eye-candy and the other one!
I do not think that I have learned so much in half and hour. I only wish they would produce a longer edit of the recordings.
