Our first Professor, our first Dover sole... and our second Brian Cox.  Professor Brian Cox is a British physicist, broadcaster, writer and professor of particle physics. You will know Brian from his TV work on shows including Horizon, The Planets and Solar System alongside his BBC Radio 4 programme, The Infinite Monkey Cage.  Brian, who was born in Oldham, joins us to blow Nick and Angela's minds and chat about his new stage show, Emergence. Emergence, which explores the universe and cosmic evolution, is a HUGE production involving a giant display screen able to bring out-of-this-world shots to life. Tickets are available now for the world tour.  This episode is powered by curiosity, including Brian's own desire to learn how to cook Dover sole. Step forward Angela Hartnett who takes Brian under her wing at the counter to help create our dish of cider-steamed Dover sole & clams. This is paired with a glass of Saint-Aubin Premier Cru, Domaine Gérard Thomas, celebrating Brian's love of wine and, in particular, a white Burgundy.  Our biggest questions get answered across this chat. From figuring out how taste works to the challenges of life on Mars... and what is it about porridge that Brian Cox just can't get on board with.  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and, new for this season, on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions

Floppy Days 156 - Interview with Paul Schindler, Computer Chronicles Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper and https://thekeep.net FutureVision Research Tuc's Workbench Hello, and welcome to episode 156 of the Floppy Days Podcast for October, 2025. I'm Randy Kindig, your host for this "retro"spective covering vintage computers of the late 70's through the 80's and the people who were on the forefront of that incredible revolution. This month, I'm bringing you another interview episode with a tech media personality that was involved with the Computer Chronicles TV show (among many other things): Mr. Paul Schindler. Paul has a big personality and has a lot of great stories about Computer Chronicles and about the tech industry in general in those days. I really enjoyed talking with Paul and he made me laugh a lot! As you know, if you're a regular listener, I was able to interview Stewart Cheifet some ago about Computer Chronicles. Computer Chronicles was a great way to get information about computers in those early days and I've always wanted to do some follow-up. Thanks to S.M. Oliva, who is mentioned in the resulting interview, and who runs a blog called "Computer Chronicles Revisited", I was able to get in contact with Paul. Next up for Floppy Days will be a series of podcasts on the KayPro line of computers, for which I was able to line up an interview with a key figure from that company and was also able to find someone who knows a lot about the computer line to help me discuss the technical topics. Stay tuned for that series. As usual, I will begin this podcast going through new acquisitions and what I've been up to, upcoming vintage computer shows and more.

We can learn a lot from scientists about getting comfortable with being wrong, says physicist Professor Brian Cox.In this chat with Fearne, Brian explains the difference between ‘having an argument' and ‘making an argument'. The latter gives us confidence to ask curious questions, come to our own conclusions, and remain open to being wrong, without letting ego get in the way of connection or progress.Brian talks through what the physics behind the universe says about the meaning of being human, including finding personal motivation and purpose, and whether there's life after death.Fearne and Brian also wonder how we can make sure young girls aren't discouraged from pursuing science, and Brian tells the story of being on the set of a famous alien movie...Tickets for Brian's 2026 world tour – Emergence – are available now.

The Government has released a new energy plan. The 'Wood Energy Strategy and Action Plan' aims to fire up the bioenergy sector. The strategy claims would energy could replace 40% of fossil-fuelled process heat by 2050, displacing 300,000 tonnes of coal at Huntly. Executive officer of bioenergy association Brian Cox told Mike Hosking that 'what the government did yesterday is a little step in the way, but we've got to do a lot more.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Frank sits down with Graveyard from Distance Nerding to revisit the cult favorite Trick 'r Treat. They unpack the film's comic-book anthology structure, Michael Dougherty's direction, how lighting and practical effects sell the Halloween vibe, and why “respecting the rules” is the movie's secret engine. The conversation widens into horror's ebb-and-flow trends, gateway recommendations, and a peek at Graveyard's current indie film projects. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Intro and guest setup 00:10 First watch reactions and why this pick works 02:03 Two-minute plot challenge and interwoven stories overview 04:10 Rewatch factor and Halloween traditions 06:09 Nonlinear storytelling and comic-book anthology DNA 07:56 Michael Dougherty's vision, pacing, and writing credits 09:17 Warm candlelight, menace, and classic horror lighting tricks 10:04 Practical effects vs CGI, werewolf transforms, and Sam's design 12:11 Should Sam's mask ever come off and why he feels like the watcher 14:14 Favorite character: Principal Steven and the vampire misdirect 15:47 Mr. Kreeg, justice by “the rules,” and that doorbell payoff 18:35 Rhonda, lit pumpkins, and surviving by respecting tradition 19:41 Sam as the embodiment of Halloween and who can “see” him 21:21 Horror in the household and YA horror for younger fans 22:52 Family horror traditions, Halloween and IT 24:01 Horror as a time capsule for taboos and fears 24:40 Vampires vs zombies discourse and trend cycles 26:26 Walking Dead as drama and genre fatigue 27:12 Theme spotlight: respect the past and know the why behind traditions 28:23 From overlooked release to cult classic in a torture-porn era 29:02 New French Extremity, Scream waves, and subgenre swings 30:12 Prestige horror, supernatural return, and James Wan's run 31:20 Great directors who cut their teeth on horror 32:34 Daylight horror shoutout to Midsommar 33:47 What to watch next: Krampus, Creepshow, and hidden gem The Burning 36:16 Distance Nerding's The Build, Conversations in the Void, and Mostly Pod at Night Mostly 40:43 Indie projects: Fairfield County, Night Terrors, a werewolf short, and Decades of Horror 42:46 Wrap and how to connect Key Takeaways Trick 'r Treat works because the anthology threads actively interlock, rewarding attention without feeling like separate shorts. The “rules of Halloween” aren't window dressing. They're story fuel that decide who lives, who dies, and why. Lighting sells the tone shift. Warm, cozy frames flip to dread in an instant. Practical effects age better than quick-hit CGI, especially for werewolves and Sam. The movie's cult rise tracks with broader horror cycles moving from torture-focused trends to craft-first “prestige” horror. Horror often mirrors the fears and taboos of its moment, which is why the genre keeps evolving and resurfacing. Want more in this vein? Krampus keeps Dougherty's dark humor, while Creepshow nails the comic-panel anthology spirit. Quotes “He is the embodiment of Halloween. Sam.” — Graveyard “The nonlinear works great because it feels like a comic book adaptation.” — Graveyard “Respect the traditions of the past. If you don't know them, learn them.” — Graveyard “Walking Dead is a drama that happens to have some zombies on it.” — Graveyard “There are so many shots I'm looking for more than I would in a normal movie.” — Frank Call to Action Enjoyed the episode?

1999's The Corruptor was the second attempt by an American film studio to make an international star out of Chow Yun Fat.  The Replacement Killers a year before with Mira Sorvino failed to thrill audiences and The Corruptor, about a New York Chinatown war between two rival gangs, didn't exactly make waves.  Ironically, it took a Tiawanese filmmaker, Ang Lee, to bring Fat world recognition a year later with hit Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.   Dan and Vicky discuss the Mark Wahlberg co-starring buddy cop actioner along with some political talk and lots of recently seen including The Conjuring: Last Rites, The Long Walk, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, and the plays Gene and Gilda and Blood Orange.   Our socials:  hotdatepod.com FB:  Hot Date Podcast Twitter: @HotDate726 Insta:  hotdatepod

In the winter of 1610 Johannes Kepler was crossing Prague's Charles Bridge when he noticed a snowflake land on his arm. Why, he asked, are all snowflakes six-cornered? "I do not believe," he wrote, "that even in a snowflake, this ordered pattern exists at random." 400 years later, we have part of the answer. Snowflakes are made of water molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of quarks and electrons - which might be made of superstrings - all held together by forces of nature described by quantum theory. But how does such delicate beauty emerge from such abstract simplicity? Emergence is a celebration of the intricacy of the Universe and an exploration of the laws of nature that sculpted it. From the largest structures in the known Universe - the rivers and flows of galaxies that trace the cosmic web - to Earth's interlinked ecosystems and the structure of the human brain - from black holes to snowflakes - we observe a world of dazzling complexity underpinned by magnificent simplicity. How did a quarter of a million-year-old species of great apes on one small planet amongst trillions orbiting around a middle-aged star in an average galaxy figure all this out, guided by curiosity, mathematics and an aesthetic sense of symmetry and beauty? And what might we become if we can hold onto the ideas of the enlightenment so successfully developed and deployed by Kepler and his contemporaries and successors - ideas that have allowed us to begin to read the story of the Universe and carried our spacecraft to the edge of the solar system and outwards to the stars. Professor Brian Cox said: "I've loved creating Emergence - it's the most ambitious live show I've ever written. I've been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, filmmakers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about." Brian has worked with a world-leading team of creatives for Emergence. Graphics and visual effects have been created in collaboration with Emmy Award winning director Nic Stacey and digital artist Erik Wernquist, and branding is by Peter Saville CBE, the renowned art director known for his original work with Factory Records. Brian has appeared in many landmark science programmes over the last 15 years, from the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to worldwide hit series The Planets to his most recent landmark series Solar System, which has become one of the best watched science series of the last decade.

In This Episode This week on Breaking Banks, we feature a fascinating and thought-provoking episode from our sister podcast, The Futurists, where Brett King welcomes celebrated experimental astrophysicist Professor Brian Cox. Professor Cox, an English physicist and musician, is widely recognized for presenting science programs such as BBC Radio 4's The Infinite Monkey Cage and the Wonders of... series. He is also the author of two popular science books: Why Does E=mc²? (And Why Should We Care?) and The Quantum Universe. He's selected to deliver the keynote address at The Futurists X Summit in Dubai on September 22nd. In this episode, Professor Cox dives into how our understanding of black holes and quantum information theory could change our fundamental understanding of the universe, ushering in a new era of scientific advancement. Professor Brian Cox is one of the most articulate scientists in the world today. This interview underscores that, in an era where science faces ongoing challenges from political forces and media, our future lies in embracing knowledge and applied intelligence. Are we at the event horizon of something new and extraordinary?

On this episode of Remainders we watched Spike Lee's 25th Hour, the Edward Norton drama about a drug dealer's final night of freedom before heading to prison. Shot in New York right after 9/11, the movie feels right in the moment, with grief, uncertainty, and the sense that there's no tomorrow. We talk about the ideas like mortality, facing consequences, and what accountability really looks like when time's running out. We also get into about the outstanding cast: Barry Pepper, Philip Seymour Hoffman doing awkward brilliance, Rosario Dawson, and Brian Cox stealing scenes as Norton's dad. Plus, we look at how it fits into Spike Lee's career.Other topics include Montgomery Clift's tragic Hollywood story, Tarantino's Death Proof connections, Patrice O'Neal, Matt Dillon and Singles, favorite Bruce Springsteen albums, first impressions of the new Toxic Avenger, and the new movies at Tarantino's Vista Theater.Songs of the WeekThe Right Profile by The ClashWhirling-In-Rags, 8 AM by Sea PowerRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

From a childhood in Dundee marked by loss, poverty and resilience, to becoming one of the most respected actors of his generation, Brian Cox's life and career have been defined by an unrelenting pursuit of truth on and off stage. In this in-depth conversation with James O'Brien, the Emmy and Golden Globe winner reflects on the death of his father at eight years old, the formative influence of his mother's struggles with mental health, and the teachers who first spotted his talent.Cox charts his journey from the Dundee Repertory Theatre to the Royal Shakespeare Company, the West End and Hollywood, revisiting the defining roles that shaped his craft- from portraying Hannibal Lecter before Anthony Hopkins to his acclaimed turn as Logan Roy in Succession. He speaks candidly about the compromises and convictions that have steered his career, the cultural and political forces that have shaped his worldview, and his ongoing belief in the power of storytelling to confront injustice.Thoughtful, uncompromising and rich with anecdote, this episode offers a compelling portrait of an actor whose commanding presence is matched by his fierce intellect and refusal to play by the rules.

The relationship between science and religion has long been a heated debate and is becoming an ever more popular topic. The scientific capacity to manipulate and change humans and their environment through genetic engineering, life extension, and AI is going to take a huge leap forward in the twenty-first century, provoking endless debates around humans “playing God”. But what do we mean by this? Asking this question is surprisingly hard work. Attempts to 'essentialise' science, let alone religion, quickly run into trouble. Where are the boundaries? Whose definition of science is definitive? Which concept of religious is the authoritative one? Ultimately, neither “science” nor “religion” can be pinned down to one single meaning or definition. Rather, they encompass a family of definitions that relate to one another in a complex web of shifting ways. Drawing on extensive research with over a hundred leading thinkers in the UK — including Martin Rees, Brian Cox, Susan Greenfield, A.C. Grayling, Ray Tallis, Linda Woodhead, Steve Bruce, Adam Rutherford, Robin Dunbar, Francesca Stavrakopoulou, and Iain McGilchrist — The Landscapes of Science and Religion takes the much-needed step of asking what science and religion actually are, before turning to the familiar question of how they relate to one another. Building on this, by paying particular attention to those who sense some form of conflict here, Spencer and Waite explore where the perceived conflict really lies. What exactly are people disagreeing about when they disagree about science and religion, and what, if anything, can we do to improve that disagreement and bring about a fruitful dialogue between these two important human endeavours. Nicholas Spencer is Senior Fellow at Theos, a Fellow of the International Society for Science and Religion and a Visiting Research Fellow at Goldsmiths, University of London. He is the author of a number of books including Darwin and God, The Evolution of the West and Atheists. He has presented a BBC Radio 4 series on The Secret History of Science and Religion, and has written for the Guardian, Telegraph, Independent, New Statesman, Prospect and more. He lives in London. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
