    Professor Michael Crawford: A Life through Food

    In this episode of 'A Life Through Food', Sheila Dillon meets one of the most provocative scientific minds of the last half-century: Professor Michael Crawford. Now in his 90s, Crawford's pioneering research into the brain and nutrition has reshaped how we understand the essential role of food—especially Omega-3 fatty acids—in human development and health.Long before Omega-3 became a buzzword on supermarket shelves, Crawford was uncovering its vital connection to brain function. His work, often at odds with mainstream science, has led to over 300 peer-reviewed papers and three books challenging conventional theories of human evolution and nutrition.The programme also features chef and broadcaster Rick Stein, who reflects on Crawford's influence and the importance of sustainable seafood. And we hear from Dr Anneli Löfstedt, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford's Smith School of Enterprise and Environment, who is building on Crawford's legacy by exploring the links between nutrition, sustainability, and the future of food systems.Presented by Sheila Dillon Produced by Natalie Donovan for BBC Audio in Bristol.

    Writer Geoff Dyer joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new memoir Homework, which covers Dyer's working-class youth in England during the 1960s and '70s. He recollects his early passion for reading and film and reflects on writing about his parents, as well as the intensity of childhood play and collecting in the wake of the Second World War. He also explains what it meant for him to pass the 11-plus exam, a test given to British 11-year-olds to determine if they could go to grammar school—and the peculiar role that grammar schools played in the British educational system. Dyer talks about how this opportunity made his eventual admission at Oxford possible. He reads from Homework. This podcast is produced by V.V.

    Ever wonder why you can recognise your friend's face instantly but struggle to remember where you put your keys? Your brain is running the most sophisticated learning system ever created, and most of us have no clue how it actually works. Nicholas Shea is an Oxford and King's College Researcher working in philosophy of mind, cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence. He breaks down the fascinating psychology behind how we build concepts in our minds. Think of concepts as mental shortcuts - when you see a dog, you don't analyse four legs, fur, and a tail. Your brain instantly accesses everything you know about dogs. We dissect these fundamental building blocks of learning into how the brain actually works and learns, and build mastery. Three key takeaways: What builds basic concepts into subject mastery? How do emotions inform decision-making?

    This episode of In Stride is presented by The Eventing Series by Natalie Keller Reinert and Flatiron Books. You can find The Eventing Series books in paperback, ebook, and audiobook wherever books are sold. Follow Natalie Keller Reinert on Instagram at @NatalieKReinert. In this episode of “In Stride,” Sinead is joined by international 5* event rider Sally Cousins. Sally Cousins is an accomplished FEI 5* international event rider and was the USEA Leading Lady Rider for six consecutive years (2008–2013). She began riding as a young child after her family purchased a farm in Oxford, Pennsylvania, and quickly found her passion through Pony Club and the sport of eventing. By her mid-teens, Sally had completed her first one-star three-day event, and at just 20 years old, she traveled to England to compete at the prestigious Badminton Horse Trials. She remained in the UK that year and went on to complete the Burghley Horse Trials later that season. In addition to her riding career, Sally spent 16 years working as a stockbroker at Merrill Lynch before deciding to turn professional and commit fully to eventing. Today, she operates Sally Cousins Eventing, training horses and riders out of her bases in South Carolina and Pennsylvania. In this episode, Sally reflects on the choices and philosophies that have shaped her decades-long career in eventing, including: • How being strategic about which events she entered helped her horses stay sound and competitive for longer. • Why she's never hesitated to withdraw a horse at the last minute if they weren't ready, prioritizing their well-being over competition goals. • What led her to leave a successful 16-year career as a stockbroker to pursue horses full-time. • The importance of building a trusting relationship with each horse and following her gut when deciding whether to push forward or hold back. Join Sally and Sinead in this thoughtful conversation about longevity, horsemanship, and the mindset behind a sustainable career in the sport.

    Love in Sufi Literature: Ibn ‘Ajiba's Understanding of the Divine Word (Routledge, 2023) explores the role of divine love in the Quranic commentary of the Moroccan Sufi scholar Aḥmad Ibn ʿAjība (d. 1224/1809). Through close textual analysis of Ibn ʿAjība's exegesis al-Baḥr al-madīd—The Abundant Ocean—and drawing on his other Sufi writings the book illuminates the scholar's theory of divine love, drawn from his scholarly antecedents, to elucidate its role and the scholar's impact on the wider field of Quranic scholarship. This close analysis is supplemented by a comparative approach focusing on several other eminent and influential Sufi commentaries. What is displayed is that Ibn ʿAjība's exegesis connected theoretical works on the concept of divine love to their practical application, a breakthrough in Sufi literature. The study situates Ibn ‘Ajība's thought in theological and historical perspective, engaging with his mystical approach which integrates his theory of divine love with other Sufi doctrines in an accessible manner. As such, the Moroccan scholar's work left an indelible impact on future generations of Quranic exegetes within North Africa and across the Islamic world. Love in Sufi Literature makes important contributions to the study of Sufism, Islam in North Africa, and late pre-modern Islamic intellectual history. Omneya Ayad is Assistant Professor of Sufi Studies at Üsküdar University in Istanbul, Türkiye.

    Watch This Episode On YouTubeJoining me today is…he is going to hate that I say it this way, as you'll hear in the conversation…but the director with the most nominated film at Raindance, Max Morgan, talking about his film BREAKWATER (2025).The ability to make your first feature, your first film, carry the weight of, and I'll quote Max here, “people never mean what they say, and there is a lot of that in BREAKWATER” is simply breathtaking. I've posted the trailer in the YouTube conversation, go watch it and you see what you mean. And the trailer is hardly encompassing of the beauty of the film.The film has its premiere at Raindance on June 23rd, 2025 — sold out — but tickets are still available for the 24th. Go watch it if you can. There's a reason it's the most nominated film, the first feature out of the University of Oxford since 1982, and that's Max Morgan and his team. In this episode, Max and I talk about:What people should expect to see when they watch BREAKWATER, such a wide ranging and expansive film — “it's a psychological drama about connection between two characters, Otto and an older retired angler on the East Coast of England…and it's about how their lives come together, collide through happenstance and fuse irreversibly and thematically”;How he decided to make such an ambitious film, the first film he ever shot! — “so it really was like a massive learning curve for me”; “and then when I went to university, I did lots of theater”;Was screenwriting a safety net for him? “ I find that thinking about myself as a writer is almost more important to me as thinking myself as a director in some ways”His advice for someone who is not gifted at writing and how to develop that skill without decades of education — “I don't think that being able to write a good play or screenplay is necessarily a gift. I think it's important to think about writing and directing in all kind of creative capacities as more of a craft.”His issues with the term debut film and filmmaker as “quite misleading”, as there's so much that goes into a creative's life;How mentors gave him advice on what he termed “bad plays, bad screenplays” — “ if anyone tells you as a piece of feedback that something is straight up bad, then they're really awful at giving notes”; How you have to trust your instincts as well — you have to challenge incredibly bad and incredibly good feedback equally;The realistic dialogue in BREAKWATER — was it from life experience? “It was from the theater”; “people never mean what they say, and there is a lot of that in BREAKWATER”BREAKWATER has its world premiere at Raindance — has he seen it on a cinema screen and does he see a theatrical run for the film?An interlude about the amazingness of Tom Cruise and his stunts;What does being a British filmmaker mean to him and how he thinks people think of that identity? “ the way I think about it is so massively influenced by British art and the sense of British independent filmmaking, which has historically produced so many amazing filmmakers”;How he is planning for the world premiere at Raindance;Max's Indie Filmmaker Highlights: Mark Jenkin, famously of BAIT (2019) and other films; Sarah BrocklehurstLinks:Buy Tickets To BREAKWATERFollow BREAKWATER On InstagramFollow BREAKWATER's WebsiteMax Morgan's WebsiteSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

On top of that, your husband has just been diagnosed with an incurable neurodegenerative disease. In one single moment, you're forced to wave goodbye to a life you spent 20 years building while also losing hope for everything that might have come next. For Raynor Winn, it was in this moment of complete despair and panic, that an idea formed after she glanced down and saw a book among the packing boxes. It was about a man who had walked the South West Coast Path with his dog: "We could just fill a rucksack, follow a line on a map and just walk," Raynor thought.So, with nothing but two rucksacks on their back, a tent, and the South West Coast Path as their compass, Raynor and her husband Moth began walking.630 miles…Navigating a path with an ascent equivalent to climbing Everest nearly four times.It's a story so extraordinary, Penguin snapped it up. And it's since become a best-selling book and, more recently, a feature film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. Why you should tune inWe all have moments when life derails our plans, when everything feels broken and our dreams seem lost to time and circumstance.

    Un nuevo estudio del Instituto Reuters sobre el consumo de noticias en internet destaca cómo plataformas tales que TikTok e Instagram ganan terreno a Facebook, mientras que X (Twitter) se mantiene estable a pesar de los cambios. La inteligencia artificial también comienza a posicionarse, especialmente entre los jóvenes. La forma en que el mundo consume noticias está experimentando una transformación radical. Las plataformas digitales no solo han consolidado su dominio, sino que han superado por primera vez a medios tradicionales como la televisión en mercados clave. Así lo revela el más reciente informe del Instituto Reuters, vinculado a la universidad británica de Oxford, que analiza las nuevas tendencias en el consumo de información a nivel global. "Las plataformas son cada vez más utilizadas para estar al tanto de la actualidad", explica Amy Ross Arguedas, coautora del estudio. Este cambio trae consigo una nueva dinámica de competencia y desafíos para los medios tradicionales. El estudio está basado en encuestas en línea realizadas por la empresa YouGov a 97.000 personas en 48 países, entre ellos Argentina, Brasil y Colombia. Uno de los hallazgos más significativos del informe es el cambio en el consumo de noticias. "En Estados Unidos, por ejemplo, por primera vez las redes sociales superan incluso a la televisión como fuente de noticia", destaca Arguedas. Este nuevo ecosistema informativo es más fragmentado y competitivo. Ya no son solo los medios de comunicación los que marcan la agenda. Ahora compiten con "personalidades, políticos e influencers que están participando en el discurso noticioso". América Latina, a la vanguardia de la tendencia Aunque este fenómeno pueda parecer novedoso en algunas partes del mundo, en América Latina ya es un panorama conocido. Según Arguedas, la región ha estado un paso por delante en la adopción de estas nuevas formas de consumo. "Muchos de estos cambios que señalamos este año, como la participación de figuras y medios alternativos o la dependencia bastante alta en redes sociales para informarse, esto ya lo veníamos viendo en América Latina desde hace TikTok e Instagram desafían a Facebook mientras que X se mantiene estable.   Durante años, Facebook fue la plataforma preferida para informarse, y aunque sigue en el primer lugar a nivel global, su liderazgo es cada vez más desafiado. El informe resalta que "poco a poco es alcanzada por TikTok e Instagram, en gran parte promovido por los jóvenes". Esta tendencia juvenil hacia plataformas más visuales y de video corto está redefiniendo el panorama para los creadores de contenido y los medios de comunicación. Contrario a las predicciones de un éxodo masivo tras la compra por parte de Elon Musk, la plataforma X (anteriormente Twitter) ha demostrado una sorprendente estabilidad en su número de usuarios. "Mucha gente pensó que iba a haber un éxodo de la plataforma, pero los datos nuestros reflejan que la plataforma se mantiene bastante estable. No ha decrecido el porcentaje de usuarios", señala Arguedas. Sin embargo, lo que sí ha cambiado es la composición de sus usuarios. "Lo que sí vemos es que en muchos países la constitución de los usuarios sí va cambiando", explica. "Antes, los usuarios solían ser principalmente personas de una ideología política de izquierda y vemos que ahora ha crecido bastante el uso por parte de personas que se identifican como de la derecha". La inteligencia artificial se abre paso Por primera vez, el informe anual de Reuters incluyó el uso de la inteligencia artificial (IA) para consumir noticias, específicamente el uso de robots conversacionales (chatbots). Un 7% de los encuestados a nivel global afirma usarlos cada semana para informarse, aunque la cifra general es relativamente baja, llega a un 15% entre los jóvenes menores de 25 años. “La gran pregunta que queda es a qué se refieren con el uso de chatbot para informarse. No está muy claro si, por ejemplo le preguntan a ChatGPT cuáles son las noticias más importantes de hoy o si más bien lo están usando para darle seguimiento o entender el contexto de una noticia”, puntualiza la coautora del estudio.

    You know those random, slightly unhinged opinions you have that make zero sense to other people, but you will defend them no matter what? This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I planting our flags on the silliest and most passionately defended opinions — also known as “the hill you'll die on.” Mine? People who back into parking spaces in busy lots are selfish. (Yes, I said what I said.) We also hit the Laugh Line to hear all your hot takes — from the Oxford comma to pineapple on pizza to why pickles need to calm down.So whether your hill is about cereal being soup, walking protocol on sidewalks, or your refusal to accept the one-space-after-a-period rule (let my spaces live!), you are welcome here. Come for the unhinged opinions, stay for the community of people who forget they're not doing voice-to-text when leaving a voicemail.

    I greet you in Jesus' precious name. It is Tuesday morning, the 17th of June, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go the Book of Genesis 11:9:”Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth;…” Then we go straight to 2 Corinthians 6:16: “I will dwell in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.” Babel - you know, I looked up the Oxford dictionary. It means, confused noise made by many people speaking together. The Lord saw what the people were doing. They were trying to build a tower to get to heaven and so what He did was, He confused their language. They all started speaking different languages and they could not work together to try and build this tower to heaven. Often, the Lord will confuse an issue because He is trying to save us. He's trying to save us from trying to be like God.I have a beautiful grand-daughter. She is a speech therapist. She studied language and the art of speaking at university and she sat with me one day and she said to me, ”Grand-dad, it is so complex. The Lord has created us in such a very special way that to be able to speak, to use your tongue and your voice box is incredible. It is a miracle, there's no doubt about it."I have just taken a photograph of a stone carving that I picked up in Ethiopia. It is of the last supper, Jesus with His disciples, but at the bottom you will see a language. It's the original language in Ethiopia which is 3000 years old. That language was written and spoken 1000 years before Christ was born. You're talking about a long time ago, but I want to tell you that God sent His Son Jesus Christ down from heaven to earth to give you and me a brand new language. It's called love.I've spoken to people all over the world who can't speak english and I can't speak their language, but once we are in Christ, it is miraculous how we can talk to one another through the language of Jesus Christ which is the language of love! Today, go out and love someone even if you can't speak their language and the Holy Spirit will unite you together in a miraculous way.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.

    Das Eisschild Grönlands schwindet und mit ihm gleitet Camp Century langsam ins Nordpolarmeer. Ein Podcast über eine Umweltkatastrophe aus Nachlässigkeit. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus.Das Thema:Was werden Sie in diesem Podcast hören? „Eine bizarre Geschichte“, so fasst es Horst Machguth zusammen. Der Glaziologe an der Universität Lausanne hat sie 2016 publik gemacht: Es geht um eine verlassene Militärbasis auf Grönland. Camp Century in der Arktis lag einmal tief im Firn Grönlands vergraben. Die US-Militärbasis sollte nach dem Sputnikschock im Oktober 1957 eine Bastion gegen die Sowjetunion sein und war für die Zukunft gemacht. Diese Zukunft ist jetzt da, und sie ist anders als die Erbauer glaubten. Das Eis schmilzt, und die Stadt unter dem Eis gleitet unaufhaltsam in das Nordpolarmeer. Eine tödliche Fracht voller Schwermetalle, Altöl und radioaktivem Abfall.Camp Century wurde schon 1967 aufgegeben, der Kalte Krieg hatte neue Technologien und Wege gefunden. Schon zu Beginn der Grabungen war klar, dass der Firn keine Stollen trägt, dass die Idee mit den Abschussrampen im Eis nicht funktioniert. Es lohnt die Frage: Wie konnte es zu einer derartigen Fehleinschätzung der Folgen kommen? Antworten geben: Horst Machguth, der Glaziologe, der die Welt als Erster über das Vermächtnis von Camp Century informierte; Jakob Abermann, ein Meteorologe und Gletscherforscher, der das Schicksal des Eisschilds auf Grönland erforscht und Heinz Gärtner, Politologe und Experte für den Kalten Krieg.Camp Century liegt etwa 240 Kilometer östlich der Thule Airbase (Pittufik), das ist jene, die der Vizpräsident der USA, J.D. Vance, Ende März 2025 besuchte. Für die Thule Airbase wurden die ursprünglichen Bewohner zwangsumgesiedelt, von Uummannaq (Thule) in das neu gegründete Qaanaaq.Gebraucht hat man die Militär-Basis im Firn nie. Sie war eine reine Cover-Aktion. Doch auch als solche war sie schon überflüssig, bevor sie fertig war.Unsere Gäste in dieser Folge: Jakob Abermann ist Meteorologe und forscht an der Universität Graz am Institut für Geographie und Raumforschung. In seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeit dreht sich alles um Klima, Eis und Schnee: Es geht um Wechselwirkungen zwischen Kryo- und Atmosphäre. Nach Forschungsaufenthalten in Chile, ist Grönland sein Forschungsschwerpunkt und wegen der oft jahrelangen Feldforschung häufig der Lebensmittelpunkt. Auf Grönland erhobene Daten sollen Aufschluss über Vergangenheit und Zukunft des Klimawandels geben.Heinz Gärtner ist Politikwissenschaftler, er lehrt an der Universität Wien, leitet den Beirat des International Institute for Peace (IIP) und ist Vorsitzender des Strategie- und Sicherheitspolitischen Beirats des Österreichischen Bundesheeres. Er leitete als wissenschaftlicher Direktor das Österreichische Institut für internationale Politik – oiip. Seine Forschung über die USA, Fragen internationaler Sicherheit, Abrüstung und Rüstungskontrolle führten ihn unter anderem an die Universitäten Erlangen, Stanford, Oxford und die Johns Hopkins in Washington, an denen er als Gastprofessor tätig war. Heinz Gärtner hat neben Fachbeiträgen zahlreiche Bücher geschrieben, zuletzt erschien von ihm Ideen zum positiven Frieden. Der Kalte Krieg ist einer seiner Forschungsschwerpunkte.Horst Machguth ist Glaziologe. Er lehrt und forscht an der Université de Fribourg in der Schweiz zur Massenbilanz von Gletschern und Eisschilden. Seine Forschung ist für das Monitoring der globalen Eisressourcen bedeutsam, ebenso wie für das Verständnis der geophysikalischen Prozesse in Eisschilden und Gletschern. Das grönländische Eisschild ist einer seiner Schwerpunkte.Credits:Trump: „One way or another“: NBCNews, 4.

    AI's Impact on SMBs: Revenue Gains, Cloud Growth, and New Tools from Zoom, MailChimp, Microsoft

    Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are increasingly recognizing the importance of adopting artificial intelligence (AI) to stay competitive in the market. A recent survey indicates that 97% of small businesses utilizing voice AI agents have seen revenue increases. However, many SMBs still perceive AI as complicated or unnecessary, with 63% expressing concerns about their foundational capabilities to support AI initiatives. Despite these hesitations, research shows that 91% of SMBs that have integrated AI report revenue gains, highlighting a significant opportunity for those willing to embrace the technology.The demand for AI expertise is surging, with a notable shortage of talent in the IT sector. Over half of IT leaders report facing an undersupply of AI skills, a figure that has increased from 28% in previous years. While 90% of organizations are piloting or investing in AI initiatives, more than two-thirds of leaders have yet to see measurable returns on their investments. This skills gap emphasizes the need for IT service providers to step in as guides, helping SMBs navigate the complexities of AI adoption and implementation.Cloud spending has also surged, reaching $90.9 billion in the first quarter of 2025, driven by the need to optimize cloud infrastructure for AI applications. Major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud dominate the market, but the increasing complexity of cloud computing necessitates external expertise. IT service providers have a unique opportunity to position themselves as AI infrastructure enablers, focusing on simplifying hybrid cloud management and aligning cloud strategies with business objectives, particularly in relation to AI.Recent studies, including one from the University of Oxford, highlight the limitations of large language models (LLMs) in real-world applications, particularly in critical sectors like healthcare. While LLMs may perform well in controlled environments, their effectiveness diminishes when humans interact with them. This underscores the importance of designing AI systems that prioritize human outcomes over mere model accuracy. As companies like Zoom, MailChimp, and Microsoft launch new AI tools, the focus for IT service providers should shift from merely selling AI tools to ensuring responsible and effective deployment that delivers measurable value. Four things to know today 00:00 SMBs See AI as Key to Growth but Struggle With Skills and Strategy, Opening Door for IT Service Providers04:53 AI Boom Fuels 21% Surge in Global Cloud Spend, Forcing Providers to Tackle Hybrid Complexity and Cost Pressures07:38 AI Can Diagnose—But Can People Use It?

    A morte não é um assunto que costuma ser tratado com naturalidade. Mas se tivéssemos mais proximidade com ela, se lêssemos, discutíssemos e pensássemos mais sobre o nosso fim, viveríamos melhor. Quem defende essas ideias é a médica geriatra e especialista em cuidados paliativos Ana Claudia Quintana Arantes, entrevistada da edição sobre despedida do Podcast da Semana.“A morte é uma amiga muito sensata, ela te liberta de amarras desprezíveis que a gente cultiva ao longo de toda a vida. E aí quando você pega um diagnóstico de uma doença grave, você fala: ‘Ufa, que horror, mas não vou precisar mais disso'”, diz Arantes na entrevista a Gama. “Falar sobre a morte te dá mais consciência sobre a importância das relações, nós somos mais do que nós mesmos.”Com especialização em cuidados paliativos pelo Instituto Pallium e pela Universidade de Oxford, a médica é também uma autora best-seller de livros como “A Morte É um Dia que Vale a Pena Viver” (Sextante, 2019) e “Cuidar Até o Fim” (idem, 2024). Agora, ela lança seu primeiro livro infantil, "Onde Fica o Céu?", para expor o tema às crianças. “As crianças fazem perguntas que têm respostas e isso é a maior dificuldade dos adultos, porque as perguntas são feitas com excelência, mas o adulto não tem coragem de responder o que a criança perguntou”, diz.Neste episódio, a médica Ana Claudia Quintana Arantes discute a evolução da percepção da morte, o aprendizado sobre a vida a partir da finitude, a centralidade das relações humanas dos momentos de despedida e como a morte pode motivar uma reavaliação da existência.Roteiro e apresentação: Isabelle Moreira Lima

Taking us back to the very dawn of life on earth, Professor Susannah Porter from the University of Santa Barbara lets Alex peer into an extraordinary world of microscopic warfare. It's a dog-eat-dog (or, microbe-dissolve-microbe) world, with single celled organisms doing battle with each other. For billions of years, this was life on earth! Tiny, violent, and completely fascinating. But what about bigger creatures? More complex ones - animals? Speeding forward several billion years, Alex arrives in the Ediacaran Period – a time of unusual tranquility, where strange, plant-like animals lived in relative peace. At the Natural History Museum in Oxford, UK, palaeontologist Dr Frankie Dunn shows him around. So where did real predators come from, then? Alex is joined by Dr Imran Rahman as he ushers in one of the most extraordinary periods in Earth's history – the magnificently named Cambrian Explosion! Here we find real predators, with teeth, claws, and impressive hunting appendages. Through the fossil record, we can see an arms race developing – as predators get more sophisticated, so does their prey. It's ON. Finally, Alex wonders if our own evolution, shaped as it has been by this predator-prey arms race, might have been very different without the threat of being chomped. Professor Lynne Isbell from the University of California, Davis takes Alex on a trip into our primate past, and tackles one of our most fearsome predators: snakes.

    As Jaws marks its 50th anniversary, sharks continue to get a bad rap. Film after film portrays them as terrifying hunters, the bane of surfers and swimmers. But in Indonesia, sharks are the hunted. It's the world's largest shark-fishing nation, with more species of sharks found in Indonesian waters than in any other country.So Indonesia was the ideal place for conservation scientist Hollie Booth at the University of Oxford to test out a new idea: would paying fishermen to release any sharks and rays caught accidentally in their nets help to keep more alive? Listen to Booth and her colleague M. Said Ramdlan in Indonesia discuss the unintended consequences of the incentive programme.

    The Oxford v Cambridge Men's Boat Race has been an annual tradition since 1856 - but the first one was the result of a light-hearted bet between two friends called Charles on 10th June, 1829. When Wordsworth (Christ Church College, Oxford) and Merivale (St. John's, Cambridge) challenged each other to race up the Thames in Henley, they never could have known their schoolboy jape would attract 20,000 spectators, nor that it would go on to become one of the major sporting events in the British calendar.  In this episode, Rebecca, Olly and Arion consider if rowing is still an elitist sport; whether Oxbridge colleges should now ditch the pretence that they never admit postgraduate students specifically to participate in the race; and reveal Hugh Laurie's consolation prize for losing for Cambridge in 1980… Further Reading:  • ‘Origins of the Boat Race' at the Boat Race's official website: https://theboatrace.org/origins • 111 years after the original race, Oxford and Cambridge compete in Henley again (British Pathé, 1940): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQSsei8KxCw • ‘Ten Things You Didn't Know About The Boat Race' from Sky History: https://www.history.co.uk/article/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-boat-race This episode first aired in 2021 Love the show?
