Podcasts about Cambridge

Noone can ever tire of hearing David Cleevely speak, so this week we revisit our recording with David from November 2024.The Cambridge Ecosystem Advantage: “Cambridge is the fastest-growing city the UK has ever seen,” Cleevely states. He highlights Cambridge's unique position as a centre for innovation, drawing on an ecosystem rich in tech, life sciences, and academic ties.Infrastructure & Growth Challenges: Cambridge's rapid growth has outpaced its infrastructure. David warns, “Cambridge cannot grow unless you sort out the infrastructure first.” Key areas like education, transport, and water supply need to be addressed to sustain Cambridge's expansion.The Power of Serendipity in Business: David describes how luck, timing, and chance encounters have been pivotal throughout his career. Cambridge Angels, for example, was born from a casual neighbourhood chat with co-founder Robert Sansom.Building Networks and Legacy: Cleevely co-founded Cambridge Angels, a network dedicated to supporting startups. This group has played a pivotal role in Cambridge's tech ecosystem by connecting startups with seasoned investors.Career Reflections and Advice: From his experiences with companies like Abcam and Analysis, David notes the importance of resilience, vision, and having the right people onboard. His advice for startup founders seeking a board chair is to find someone who is “an extraordinarily good listener” and can balance strategic guidance with a supportive role.Headline sponsor Holden Polestar Produced by Cambridge TV #CamTechPod Hosted on Acast.

Dr. Timothy Larsen writes about serious, energetic faith in the places other historians assume the faith cannot really be. A Victorian Christian fantasist. A Westminster canon who quietly set aside biblical authority. And, in his newest and most acclaimed book, seventeen Anglican chaplains who came out of the trenches of World War I as radicals. Tim is McManis Professor of Christian Thought at Wheaton College and the 2025 president of the American Society of Church History, and this hour is us moving through three of his books at once. The Fires of Moloch takes its title from H. G. Wells's line describing Britain sending its sons into the fires of a false god during the Passchendaele Offensive. George MacDonald in the Age of Miracles takes the mid-nineteenth-century Scottish theological turn from the Age of Atonement to the Age of the Incarnation and shows what happens when a rigorously Calvinist minister-turned-fantasy-writer decides doubt is the door in, and therefore the door out, of a mature faith. Every Leaf, Line, and Letter returns to Tim's PhD supervisor David Bebbington's famous quadrilateral for defining evangelicalism and asks what it takes to keep that word doing honest work now that polls will code Muslim Trump voters as evangelical. Come for Anglo-Catholic sacramental confession as battle-tested ministry. Stay for the George MacDonald grandmother who burned her son's violin because he enjoyed music too much. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Dr. Timothy Larsen is McManis Professor of Christian Thought and Professor of History at Wheaton College, an Honorary Fellow of the School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh, and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Wales Trinity Saint David. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute. He has been a Visiting Fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, All Souls College, Oxford, and Christ Church, Oxford. In 2025 he served as President of the American Society of Church History. He has authored or edited more than twenty books. Books at the center of this conversation: The Fires of Moloch: Anglican Clergymen in the Furnace of World War One; George MacDonald in the Age of Miracles: Incarnation, Doubt, and Reenchantment ; and Every Leaf, Line, and Letter: Evangelicals and the Bible from the 1730s to the Present. JOIN OUR OPEN ONLINE CLASS: The Empire Christ Couldn't Keep⁠ Ever notice how Christian nationalism gets talked about like it's some bizarre new glitch in the faith? It isn't — it's a 2,000-year-old arrangement wearing new clothes, and once you see how the pattern works, you can also spot the Christ who keeps slipping free of it. Join theologian Joerg Rieger and Tripp Fuller for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, a free six-week online class tracing the holy alliances, imperial creeds, and stubborn resistance that have shaped Christianity from Paul to the present. You'll get six lectures from Joerg, six live Q&As, weekly readings from his book Christ and Empire, and a community of fellow troublemakers thinking it through together. It's free to join, every session is recorded, and it kicks off Thursday, August 27.

How much of an athlete's performance is shaped by the materials they wear and use? This week, Richard Graves is joined by Dr Sarah Karmel, Chief Science Officer at RHEON Labs, to explore how dynamic materials are changing the way sport thinks about protection, comfort and performance. Sarah explains the science behind RHEON's non-Newtonian polymer technology: materials that remain soft and flexible at rest, but stiffen to manage energy when exposed to force. From NFL helmet components designed to address both linear and rotational impacts, to sports bras that provide support without unnecessary compression, this is material science with practical implications for athletes. The conversation also looks at vibration damping in tennis and padel rackets, the role of apparel in supporting movement, and why the next step in sports equipment may be creating products that adapt to the athlete, rather than asking the athlete to adapt to the product. In this episode you will learn How dynamic polymers respond differently at rest and under force. Why managing both linear and rotational impacts matters in athlete protection. Why repetitive lower-energy impacts are receiving greater attention in contact sport. How sports bra design can influence comfort, movement and the running experience for female athletes. How dynamic materials can reduce vibration in rackets without removing the feel athletes need. The potential role of responsive compression apparel in muscle support and tendon loading. Why energy management is the common thread linking helmets, apparel and sporting equipment. How material innovation could make sports equipment more individualised and athlete-centred. About Dr Sarah Karmel Dr Sarah Karmel is Chief Science Officer at RHEON Labs, where she leads the development of advanced elastomeric materials for sport, protection and performance applications. She holds a PhD in Chemistry from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, and previously held the Blavatnik Fellowship at the University of Cambridge.

Ransom by Daniel Silva Alice Winter, one of Britain's most dazzling socialites, seemingly has the perfect life—a lavish home in posh Knightsbridge, a grand estate in Devon, millions of followers on social media who eagerly await her next post. But when she disappears without a trace while on holiday with three old friends from Cambridge, her desperate husband, the real estate baron Edward Knight, turns to none other than Gabriel Allon to find her. He soon discovers that Alice Winter is not the woman she appears to be, that she has a reckless side, that she has secrets. But Edward Knight has a secret too, a secret so dangerous that Gabriel will have no choice but to return to the life he thought he had left behind. An old enemy lurks there, waiting for him to make one misstep, waiting for the perfect moment to exact vengeance. The Social Circle by Sophie Wan When Maggie Tang arrives as a transfer student at UC Berkeley in 2005, she has no idea how her life is about to change. In the hallway of her dingy apartment building, she meets Adam, Charles, Hari, and Priya, the friends with whom she'll create Circle, the world's first major social media platform. But navigating her creative ambitions alongside love and friendship isn't so simple, and when they inevitably collide, Maggie exits Circle in dramatic fashion. A decade later, Maggie is struggling with a new venture when she receives an invitation to celebrate Circle's tenth anniversary on a private European island, everyone back together again. While she's still bitter about how things ended, her company desperately needs the publicity, and deep down, Maggie can't resist the handwritten plea at the bottom—Come, please. Between boat rides and beach days, bit by bit the reunion begins to feel like old times. But the journalist writing a retrospective on Circle is eager for a scoop, which means they can't tiptoe around the past forever. And when a new truth is revealed about their fallout all those years ago, Maggie will have to decide whether to run again or fight for this second chance with the people she once loved most.

Why do so many conversations leave people feeling unseen, unheard, and misunderstood? In Episode 262 of The Mindset Game podcast, Vered Kogan speaks with Greg McKeown, New York Times bestselling author of Essentialism and Effortless, about why misunderstanding has become one of the greatest barriers to effective leadership, collaboration, and human connection. Drawing on his doctoral research at the University of Cambridge, Greg introduces the concept of confident misunderstanding and explains why the ability to truly understand another person's perspective may be one of the most important leadership skills of our time. Together, they explore how empathy, curiosity, and deep listening can reduce polarization, strengthen relationships, and improve communication in every area of life. In this conversation, you'll learn: How confident misunderstanding creates conflict and limits collaboration A simple communication practice that builds trust and connection How perspective-taking can transform difficult conversations Why people need to feel seen, heard, and understood before they are willing to listen The conversation takes an unexpected turn when Greg asks Vered to coach him through a real leadership challenge involving a difficult relationship. Together, they explore how to move beyond judgment, step into another person's perspective, and create the conditions for greater understanding. This coaching segment is included in the video version of the episode on YouTube and offers a rare opportunity to experience these principles in action and see how small shifts in perspective can transform the way we navigate difficult conversations. Click HERE to access the video.

Siren Drug Bust, Fatal Crash in Cambridge

This week, James Marriott speaks to the writer Lamorna Ash about her journey through the changing world of British Christianity. Raised with little religious belief, Lamorna spent a year visiting churches, festivals, monasteries and Christian communities across the country. What began as an investigation into why young people were rediscovering faith gradually became a much more personal search for meaning and belief. James and Lamorna discuss the decline of organised religion, the loneliness and uncertainty of modern life, and Christianity's surprising appeal to a new generation with diverse beliefs and politics. Is Britain witnessing a genuine religious revival? And could answers to very modern problems be found in our old, religious institutions?Next week, Sophia Smith Galer speaks to David Runciman, an honorary Professor of Politics at the University of Cambridge, about his very radical proposal to lower the voting age to six years old.GET IN TOUCH  * WhatsApp: 0330 123 9480  * Email: radical@bbc.co.ukEpisodes of Radical are released every Thursday and Monday.

She also discusses founding her own employment law consultancy, studying at the University of Cambridge, and why she believes people should never be defined by their past.Useful organisations: BUBIC (Bringing Unity Back Into the Community)- Community-led organisation supporting people affected by crime, substance use and social exclusion through peer support, outreach and recovery services.Narcotics Anonymous (NA)- Peer support meetings for people recovering from drug addiction.Unlock- Independent charity providing information and advice for people with criminal records, including employment, disclosure and DBS checks.Churchill Fellowship- Find out more about Churchill Fellowships and how to apply for funding to research an issue you're passionate about and bring new ideas back to the UK.Contact us: If anything you've heard in this podcast has inspired you to make a positive change in your life, or you'd just like to get in touch, please contact us.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Mike Davis, founder of The Article III Project, to talk about Dr. Anthony Fauci repeatedly taking the Fifth during a Senate hearing rather than answering any questions about his role in the COVID pandemic, getting pilloried by GOP senators with righteous anger, Fauci's refusal to answer basic questions about the pandemic, whether the pardon from Biden will protect him from all prosecution, if he'll be compelled to testify in the future, and more. Then Rich Lowry and Charles C.W. Cooke of National Review join to discuss contradictions between Dr. Fauci's private diary entries and his public statements about COVID, how he undermined trust in science forever, whether we'll finally get accountability now, claims that Dr. Fauci kept a reported pulmonary infarction private shortly after he publicly received a COVID vaccine, Fauci's vanity revealed in his diary, Megyn revealing for the first time a detailed and specific threat made against her before a Turning Point USA event shortly after the Charlie Kirk assassination, the political violence double standard in America, the media's role in propping up the Fauci mystique, their disgusting attacks on people like Scott Atlas who have been proven right, the former Gavin Newsom aide's bombshell account of her affair with Newsom from two decades ago, the political fallout from Newsom's relationship with a subordinate's wife, how the story could affect Newsom's 2028 chances, the plagiarism scandal surrounding a Cambridge professor, attempts to dismiss the allegations by the left as racism, the wild biographical details emerging about his past statements, and more.   Davis- https://article3project.org/ Cooke- https://x.com/charlescwcooke Lowry- https://www.nationalreview.com   Birch Gold: Text MK to 989898 and get your free info kit on gold Supersure Insurance: Upgrade your business insurance to a year-round SuperAgency at https://Supersure.com/Megyn Sundays for Dogs: Upgrade your dog's food without the hassle—try Sundays for Dogs and get 50% off your first order at https://sundaysfordogs.com/MEGYN or use code MEGYN at checkout.

Huxley is an example of having a good attitude about publicly acknowledging errors and learning from them. He earned the nickname “Darwin’s bulldog” for his very vocal support of Darwin’s work, and he wanted to promote science and education, particularly to people that didn’t normally have access to those things.

Cory was out for a family wedding, so Brady and Philip hosted from his handle. Also new: a weekly recap song in a different genre each week, covering everything from the previous weeks of the show. Daniel Batten on Cambridge's new number. Its updated assessment puts Bitcoin mining at 59.4% clean energy, against a global grid mix near 40%. Hydro is the largest single source. Full report expected later this year. Sweden's grid used Bitcoin mining 11,000 times last year to absorb excess wind. Batten's point: operators call it flexible load, flexible compute, or data centers. Anything but Bitcoin mining. Six Brazilian energy companies are doing the same with stranded generation. The best idea in the episode, and it's Batten's. A grid operator is incentivized to admit a problem, because saying so unlocks resources and doesn't destabilize the grid. A central banker never can, because the admission is itself the instability. Batten expects the West to adopt Bitcoin as an energy solution before a monetary one. In the global South the monetary problems are existential already: banking access, storing wealth safely, remittances that otherwise cost up to 20%. The Ethiopian dam. You cannot build half a dam, so it's sized for demand 20 years out. No transmission lines, no industry, no customer for the surplus. Miners paid roughly three cents per kilowatt hour and delivered over $100M in unexpected revenue. Callum Wheeler of Renew Blocks on Britain's curtailment bill. £1.5B last year paying wind farms to switch off and firing gas nearer London instead, forecast to reach £7B by 2030. A new "demand for constraints" market is meant to fix it. A near-blackout on June 23 reached the shadow energy secretary via control-room whistleblowers. Cause: unexpected air conditioning demand in Britain's fourth heat wave. Wheeler's pilot is mining co-located inside a Scottish Highlands hydro powerhouse, built for £2M and never switched on. Susie Violet Ward spent 13 months chasing a BBC correction on a headline claiming every Bitcoin payment uses a swimming pool of water. No correction, and the undisclosed source was a central banker. Brandolini's law: refuting costs ten times what inventing does. Closing round on first resources. Inventing Bitcoin by Yan Pritzker, including his family's story of carrying value out of Russia. Also the Bullish Case, Broken Money, swan.com/welcome with Natalie Brunell, and Mary Kay Fain's approach: ask someone to recall a time they couldn't use their own money.

Kate Marvel is a climate scientist with a PhD in theoretical physics from Cambridge. But she still has an emotional reaction to the climate models she runs. In her book “Human Nature: 9 Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet” Marvel explores the different emotions evoked by climate change.

A farmer in rural Ghana can use her phone to take a picture of a blighted leaf, upload it, and within seconds she gets a diagnosis that takes account of the soil, the weather, and the other local conditions. Score one for AI. We don't have enough human experts because they are hard to train, and harder still to retain, so apps like this have huge potential. But it doesn't mean they will succeed.Iqbal Dhaliwal, global executive director at J-PAL, has watched ambitious tech dreams for development fall apart before. Remember one laptop per child, the plan that failed because schools didn't have technical support, the right lesson plans -- or even electricity? He tells Tim Phillips that AI can succeed, as long as whoever is using it has thought through the theory of change, designs for impact rather than downloads, and can scale up successful experiments. J-PAL has launched the AI Evidence Playbook to help policymakers solve these knotty problems.The research behind this episodeDhaliwal, Iqbal, Sam Carter, Attaullah Abbasi, and Audrey Lorvo. 2026. AI Evidence Playbook: A Practical Guide. Cambridge, MA: Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL).To cite this episodePhillips, Tim, and Iqbal Dhaliwal. 2026. "How AI can put 20 years of development evidence to work." VoxDev Talks (podcast).About the guestIqbal Dhaliwal is global executive director of the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL), based at MIT, and co-chairs Project AI Evidence. He co-directs J-PAL's South Asia office with Esther Duflo. Before joining J-PAL in 2009 he served in the Indian Administrative Service, where he ran a statewide welfare department and led a public company, delivering large-scale programmes in the field. His work spans the design, evaluation, and scale-up of anti-poverty programmes, and the question of when a technology genuinely changes lives rather than dashboards.Research and concepts cited in this episodeProject AI Evidence (PAIE) is J-PAL's initiative to identify, evaluate, and scale applications of AI for social good, and to scale down those that may cause harm. The AI Evidence Playbook is its practical output, a reference for policymakers, practitioners, and donors weighing whether and how to adopt AI-enabled programmes.The six pathways. The playbook groups two decades of development evidence into six areas where AI could raise impact or cut cost: improving needs prediction and targeting; increasing access to personalised, timely support; maximising the effectiveness of frontline service providers; improving organisational and programmatic efficiency; reducing bias and ensuring fairness; and boosting government resource mobilisation, including more progressive taxation.Machine learning targeting in Togo. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Togo's government wanted to reach its poorest households but lacked the administrative data to find them. Researchers used satellite imagery to identify likely-poor neighbourhoods from features such as house size and roof quality, then paired it with mobile phone records to narrow down poorer individuals within them; a practical, rapid way to fill a data gap without a social registry.Theory of change. The sequence of steps connecting an input to a final outcome. Dhaliwal's point is that most people hold an optimistic hypothesis rather than a theory of change: the inputs and the hoped-for outcome are clear, but the intermediary links, adoption, trust, workflows, repair, are missing. Writing it on paper is where the gaps show.Design for impact, design for scale. Engagement numbers and downloads are a first step, not proof of impact. Designing for scale means designing for a farmer who may lack a device, may lack reliable connectivity, and may not trust the technology without the extension worker they have known for fifteen years.One laptop per child, and smokeless stoves. Dhaliwal raises both as technologies whose theory of change was sound but whose delivery was not thought through: the school system could not absorb the laptop, the electricity and connectivity were not there, and no one planned for breakage. The relevant cautionary parallel for AI, whose problems he argues are not just inherited but exacerbated by the pace of change.Global knowledge, local context. Dhaliwal separates rules that can be changed from genuine context differences. A programme that works in India but "won't work in Ghana" because teachers there work six hours rather than six hours fifteen minutes is a rule problem, and solvable. A classroom of 1:20 versus 1:60 is a real contextual difference worth worrying about.More VoxDev Talks episodesThe development economics of AI: Lessons and questions.

Did Jesus really rise from the dead? In this classic talk, John Stott explores both the historical evidence for the resurrection and its life-changing significance. Examining the empty tomb, the appearances of the risen Jesus, and the dramatic emergence of the early church, Stott argues that the resurrection is not merely a Christian belief but the foundation upon which Christianity stands. More than an historical claim, the resurrection transforms how we understand the past, experience the present, and face the future. If Jesus truly rose from the dead, then it changes everything. In this episode: Did Jesus' tomb really end up empty? What happened to the body of Jesus? What difference does the resurrection make to life today? What does it mean to live in the power of the risen Christ? The Bible Matters Podcast is funded entirely by the generous donations of its listeners.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9 Biblical courage is not bravado or self-confidence. It is faithfulness rooted in the presence and promises of God. That kind of courage matters in every area of life—including the way we handle money. Following Christ may require us to give when we would rather hold tightly, resist cultural pressures, act with integrity when compromise would be easier, or obey God when doing so comes at a personal cost. Dr. Craig Bartholomew, Director of the Kirby Laing Centre for Public Theology in Cambridge, England, joined the show today to close out our Financial Virtues series to explore the virtue of fortitude and what it means for faithful stewardship. More Than a Moment of Bravery When we hear the word courage, we may picture dramatic acts of bravery. Scripture certainly includes those moments. Joshua needed courage as he prepared to lead Israel into the Promised Land. But fortitude is broader than courage in a single crisis. It is resilience. Resolve. Endurance. The Christian life is less like a sprint and more like a marathon. Fortitude is the strength to continue following Christ over a lifetime—to remain faithful not only in dramatic moments, but also through the ordinary decisions, pressures, disappointments, and temptations we encounter every day. That distinction matters because some of the most important acts of courage in our financial lives may never look heroic to anyone else. It may mean living below your means when everyone around you is upgrading their lifestyle. It may mean refusing a dishonest opportunity even when the money is attractive. It may mean continuing to give generously when fear tells you to hold tighter. Fortitude is the courage to keep choosing faithfulness. When Money Becomes Our Security Money has a way of exposing what we fear. We fear not having enough. We fear an uncertain future. We fear losing the lifestyle we have built. We may fear falling behind others or disappointing the people around us. But the deeper question is this: Where have we placed our security? If our identity, security, or sense of worth rests primarily in wealth, then anything that threatens our finances can begin to threaten our sense of self. That is a burden money was never meant to carry. Scripture continually redirects our trust away from created things and toward the Creator. Money is a good gift and a useful tool, but it makes a terrible foundation for our identity. Christian fortitude begins by remembering who we are and whose we are. Our ultimate security is not found in the size of an investment account, the value of a home, or the stability of an income. It is found in God, who promises to remain faithful to His people. That does not mean financial losses or uncertainty become easy. It means fear no longer has the final word. Jesus Shows Us What Courage Looks Like Jesus gives us the clearest picture of true fortitude. At the beginning of His public ministry, Satan tempted Him in the wilderness, offering shortcuts to power and glory that would bypass the path of suffering and obedience. Jesus refused. He remained faithful to the Father and continued toward the cross. His courage was not merely displayed in one final moment. It characterized His entire life—a steady obedience to the Father regardless of the cost. That same pattern should shape His followers. Money can easily become one of the competing loyalties of our hearts. Jesus repeatedly warned about the spiritual danger of wealth when it moves from being a tool we steward to a treasure we worship. Money must remain in its proper place. Fortitude helps us keep it there. Generosity Requires Courage One way we loosen money's grip on our hearts is through generosity. Giving shifts our attention away from ourselves and toward God and our neighbors. Rather than asking only, “What can this money do for me?” generosity teaches us to ask, “How might God use what He has entrusted to me to serve someone else?” Sometimes that requires real courage. Giving can confront our desire for control. It can challenge our instinct to accumulate more before deciding we finally have “enough.” It may require us to trust God with what happens after we release what we have been holding. But generosity reminds us that life is not ultimately about us. As we put God first, He turns our attention outward—to the neighbor down the street, the family facing hardship, the ministry serving people in need, or even someone across the world whose circumstances are far different from our own. Fortitude gives us the courage to hold God's provision with open hands. The Courage to Choose Integrity Fortitude also matters when faithfulness costs us financially. There may be moments when telling the truth threatens a business opportunity, refusing to compromise means walking away from profit, or acting justly puts us at a disadvantage. Those moments require more than good intentions. They require discernment to recognize what is right—and courage to do it. Our culture constantly communicates messages about success, wealth, status, and power. Christians must learn to examine those messages carefully rather than simply accepting the assumptions around us. Not everything profitable is good. Not everything financially advantageous is wise. And not everything considered normal in our culture is consistent with following Jesus. Fortitude enables us to remain faithful when obedience becomes costly. Courage Is Cultivated in Community Christian courage should never become another form of self-reliance. We can be extremely determined about the wrong things. That is why fortitude must be shaped by wisdom, discernment, prayer, Scripture, and Christian community. We need other believers who can help us recognize blind spots, challenge our assumptions, and remind us of what is true when fear begins to distort our perspective. This is especially important with money. Financial decisions can be complex, and our hearts can easily rationalize what we already want. Wise counsel helps us discern where genuine stewardship ends and where fear, greed, pride, or self-interest may be taking over.  The goal is not simply to become more resilient. It is to become resilient in following Jesus. A Long Obedience in the Same Direction Most of us will face moments when courage is urgently required. But much of Christian fortitude is formed in thousands of smaller choices. Choosing generosity again. Choosing integrity again. Choosing contentment again. Choosing to trust God again. Faithful stewardship is not built through one extraordinary financial decision. It is shaped over a lifetime of ordinary obedience. That is fortitude: not the absence of fear, but the courage to remain faithful because we know the One who is with us wherever we go.

In this episode we are joined by Richard Fisher (3-peat on the pod) looking back at 1926 as a pivotal year in golf, tracing the season from winter through autumn. We focus on the amateur game, the professional events, and the way golf fit into the wider sporting and political landscape of the year.We begin with the early amateur season, including the shared President's Putter at Rye and the Varsity match at Burnham & Berrow, where Cambridge win. We also discuss how much golf's leading amateurs play, the importance of caddies, and the many club and society matches that shape the year.We then move to the spring championships, including the arrival of Glenna Collett and other American women ahead of the Ladies' Championship, which is delayed by the General Strike.The episode also covers the amateur and professional championships in detail. We discuss Bobby Jones's remarkable Open qualifying round at Sunningdale, his victory at Royal Lytham & St Anne's, the Amateur Championship at Muirfield, George Von Elm's win in the US Amateur, and major professional events involving Walter Hagen, Abe Mitchell, and Sandy Herd... and of course the proto-Ryder Cup. We finish with the late-season fixtures, including the English Amateur, the US PGA and US Ladies' Championship, and the mixed foursomes at Worplesdon. We also reflect on the broader context of 1926: the rise of international golf, the role of the media, and how different the sport's structure and calendar were from today.

Alan Turing was one of the parents of computing and played a huge role in code breaking during WW2.In part due to Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of him in ‘The Imitation Game', he is generally thought of as a socially awkward nerd, but Sarah Dillon, Professor of Literature at Cambridge believes otherwise…She joins Seán to discuss.

Plus is based at the Maths Faculty at the University of Cambridge so we have lots of opportunities to talk to interesting mathematicians about their work and their working lives. This week we speak to Holly Krieger, who is a professor here in a podcast that we originally produced for the Maths Faculty. Holly works in the overlap of two areas of mathematics: number theory – which is famous for problems such as Fermat's Last Theorem – and complex dynamics, which gives rise to beautiful fractals. This intersection is known as arithmetic dynamics and it's an exciting, relatively young area of research. Holly's work has been very successful, being awarded several prestigious prizes. And she is also known for her appearances on the Numberphile channel where she has shared the beauty of maths in a range of areas, from centrifuge to the Mandelbrot set. Holly told us about how she came to her current research, the benefits of a career in maths, advice for younger mathematicians, and her appearances on Numberphile. Find out more about: Holly's work Number theory Fermat's Last Theorem Mandelbrot set Holly's appearances on Numberphile Maths on the Move, is the podcast from plus.maths.org. We speak to researchers from the frontiers of mathematical science so you can connect with the maths that shapes and explains our world. Hosted by Plus editors Rachel Thomas and Marianne Freiberger.

Today, I'm honored to reconnect with Dr. Tommy Wood. He is a neuroscientist, a performance coach, and an elite-level professional nerd. He's also currently an associate professor of pediatrics and neuroscience at the University of Washington. He received his bachelor's in biochemistry from the University of Cambridge, a medical degree from the University of Oxford, and a PhD in physiology and neuroscience from the University of Oslo. In our conversation, we discuss his new book, The Stimulated Mind, and he explains how dementia is a confluence of factors that accumulate over decades, important contributors to dementia, and ways we can help prevent it. We explore the concept of headroom, specific risk factors for neurocognitive decline, brain fog in midlife, the 10-year HRT timing window, and the evidence supporting these concepts. Dr. Tommy shares what we can learn from his work with elite-level athletes, along with some of the biggest misconceptions in the brain health space, and his 3s model of stimulation, sleep, and nutrient supply. He also explains why nutritional status matters for neurocognitive function. Stay tuned for today's insightful conversation with Dr. Tommy Wood. I loved his new book, The Stimulated Mind, and it will definitely be part of my must-reads for 2026! IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why dementia is not one single disease but a clinical outcome with multiple causes How sleep, oral health, nutritional status, and chronic inflammation may all influence dementia risk What headroom is, and the factors that help maintain it and protect cognitive function How the disease processes leading to dementia often begin decades before symptoms appear What the research suggests about the best time to start hormone therapy for brain health How Formula One drivers and elite athletes tend to prioritize sleep, nutrition, recovery, and focused work over chasing perfection How frequent notifications and interruptions train the brain to expect distraction, making sustained concentration more difficult How both overeating and chronic under-fueling can impair brain health How lifestyle changes can reduce dementia risk, even in people with APOE4 Connect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia's website.

What has made this moment feel different is not the anxiety about incivility, which has always been there, but rather the performance of it. It's relentless.” — Molly Brady on incivility in the age of the smartphone Whatever happened to the American front porch? Builders killed it to save money, says the Harvard law professor Molly Brady — and with this death went one of the key stages on which Americans have practiced the art of being neighbors over the last 250 years. Brady is a contributor to America Unfinished: 250 Years of Law and Governance, a new volume of 62 essays from the Harvard Law School faculty edited by Alexandra Natapoff. Brady's subject is the land, real-estate and local government law determining neighborliness. Thus her interest in front porches. Brady grew up in Utica, New York — on the old Erie Canal — a Rust Belt town whose fracking fights, abandoned housing, and urban renewal steered her toward property law. Utica is also, despite its red politics, a place well versed in the art of neighborliness — with the town warmly welcoming recent Bosnian and Iraqi refugees. Incivility isn't new, Brady says. What's changed, she argues, is its performative virality. With a phone in every pocket, we can now watch our fellow “citizens” behaving badly. Meanwhile the physical infrastructure of community — the front porches and corner stores — has been zoned, sprawled, and value-engineered away. Analogue porches have been replaced by digital chatrooms. Brady's remedy is unfashionably local. On Zoom or in person, she advises, show up at your local planning meetings. Brady even requires her Harvard students to attend at least one local meeting so as to demystify the real work of governance. The republic, as Ben Franklin so famously warned, is ours if we can keep it. Keeping it, Molly Brady suggests, may require in-person attendance on a Wednesday night at your local planning commission. And it might also require hanging out on your porch. If the builders ever give them back to us. Five Takeaways •       The Performance of Incivility. Americans have always fretted about incivility — the republic itself was born out of Europe's religious civil wars. What has changed, Brady argues, is technology. When difference was mediated through traditional publishers, you had to grapple with the people in your physical world: the workplace, the water cooler, the town meeting. Now everyone carries a phone on which fellow citizens can be found behaving horribly at any given moment. It is not the presence of incivility that makes this moment feel different — it is the relentless performance of it.•       The Death of the Porch. Brady writes in the tradition of Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone, updated for the post-smartphone age: suburbanization, the loss of third places, remote work — and a thousand micro-choices in property law that removed the physical alternatives to online life. Builders dropped the front porch to save money; developers in the South and West build almost nothing outside homeowners associations, so there is no meaningful market choice. People are human — they yearn for connection — but in the absence of physical competition, technological community wins by default.•       Tocqueville's Scalability Problem. What Tocqueville admired in New England — every citizen (nominally) arguing policy with neighbors at the town meeting — may never have been scalable to a continental republic, a question America has been grappling with since the Louisiana Purchase. But the local still scrambles our politics in useful ways: party preference, as the scholar David Schleicher observes, tells you nothing about road paving. The darker local truth is Bill Fischel's homevoter hypothesis — homeowners dominate participation and vote to maximize home values, which has helped produce the national affordability crisis.•       Glimmers: Zoom, Newton, and Showing Up. The shift to Zoom planning meetings completely changed the demographics of who participates in land use decisions — young parents cannot spend Wednesday from seven to midnight debating a corner store. Newton has produced genuinely pro-housing policies; Cambridge ran a charter commission that drew in residents of every kind; groups like Abundant Homes Massachusetts organize contingents to make sure meetings are not left to the usual voices. Brady requires her students to attend at least one local meeting. The lesson: do not think this is for someone else.•       2076: Best Case, Worst Case. Asked to imagine America's 300th birthday, Brady hopes for less polarization and demonization, and for a real confrontation of the housing and environmental crises — collective work that might itself rebuild the habit of cooperation. The worst case runs through Margaret Atwood and civil war scenarios to environmental degradation and lives lost to our incapacity to work together. The warning signs are already banal: middle-aged men now pay consultants to teach them how to make friends. The skills have atrophied — and local participation, Brady suggests, is the gym where a republic gets them back. About the Guest Molly Brady is a professor of law at Harvard Law School, where she teaches property, land use, and local government law. Raised in Utica, New York, she is a graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School, and her scholarship on the history of American property law has won wide recognition, as has her teaching. She lives in Belmont, Massachusetts, and is a contributor to America Unfinished: 250 Years of Law and Governance, edited by Alexandra Natapoff and Guy-Uriel E. Charles (MIT Press, July 2026). References: •       America Unfinished: 250 Years of Law and Governance, edited by Alexandra Natapoff and Guy-Uriel E. Charles (MIT Press, July 2026).

This week, famed chef and author Asma Khan joins Trevor and Eugene for a conversation that shreds traditional fine-dining elitism to pieces. The trio discusses Asma's upbringing in India, the frustration of over-complicated modern technology, and how she discovered her passion for cooking through pure homesickness after moving to England. Between tales of hitting cheating childhood friends with cricket bats and surviving Cambridge's soul-crushingly bad food, Asma gets real about how food is truly about identity, storytelling, and dismantling imperialist garbage.

Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth has announced that the US military will be screening military personnel aged 30 and older for testosterone deficiency. Those found with low testosterone levels will be offered voluntary hormone replacement therapy. The secretary says this is to ensure “a healthy, capable, and decisively dominant fighting force”. Tom Whipple is joined by Professor Joe Herbert from the University of Cambridge to discuss why jacking soldiers up with testosterone may or may not be the best idea. Marine Biologist Kathryn Ayres, from the non-profit organisation Beneath the Waves, describes a newly observed behaviour in orcas in which they collaboratively swim so hard into a dead sunfish it explodes. Is it a teachable moment for their young or is it just for fun?Finally, we have Kit Yates, our resident mathematician, to reassure Tom that although AI might one day actually kill us all, at least it can disprove an 87-year-old mathematics conjecture.

Episode 4185 │ July 19, 2026 Washington said his men called themselves an army the way lumber calls itself a house. Unprepared for war with Britain — less one thing: their faith. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson and Rochelle Porto fill the gap between Lexington and Concord in April 1775 and the Declaration of Independence in July 1776 — the period nobody covers and everyone skips — tracing the Battle of Quebec in the December blizzard that killed Richard Montgomery, wounded Benedict Arnold before his betrayal, and left 400 American prisoners in British hands, alongside the prohibitory acts of December 1775 that blockaded every American merchant vessel at sea and led John Adams to declare that Britain had effectively declared independence from the colonies before the colonies declared it from Britain. The centerpiece of the episode is the Noble Train of Artillery — Henry Knox's 300-mile winter journey from Cambridge to Fort Ticonderoga and back, 59 pieces of heavy ordnance including a 5,000-pound brass cannon named Old Sable, moved by 60 men, teams of horses and oxen, across frozen rivers and mountain ridges through the same blizzard hitting Quebec, resupplied at every town by committees of safety who knew the convoy was coming and had fresh animals, food, and shelter waiting at each stop. The episode closes with Scott mapping the three pillars of colonial intelligence and organization — the Mechanics network, the committees of safety, and the Black Robe Regiment — against the current moment, arguing that the ragtag colonial force Washington inherited was the same structural problem America faces today, and that the difference between defeat and the crossing of the Delaware is almost always logistics, intelligence, and the willingness of ordinary people in ordinary towns to show up when the convoy passes through. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Why did the American invasion of Quebec fail — and what does the combination of a December blizzard, expiring enlistments, the death of Richard Montgomery by grapeshot, Benedict Arnold's leg wound, and 400 prisoners reveal about the structural limits of a colonial army organized by popularity rather than competence? What were the Prohibitory Acts of December 1775 — and why did John Adams call them Britain's own declaration of independence from the colonies, given that they placed a death sentence on every American merchant vessel at sea and made reconciliation structurally impossible? What made the Noble Train of Artillery succeed where the Quebec campaign failed — and what does Henry Knox's 300-mile winter journey, never losing a cannon, an animal, or a man, reveal about the role of the committees of safety as the logistical backbone that made every patriot operation in this period possible?
