In this episode, the 5th in Danny Hurst´s Unusual Histories Bridge Series, he gets to the newest of London's bridges, the Millennium Bridge. Danny explains why a design fault led to excitation and how the issue was fixed. Unusually, a sculptor was involved in its design as well as an architect. This relatively new addition to London´s cityscape still has some fascinating stories to tell. Danny also shares some of the history of the buildings surrounding the bridge, including revealing that there has been 5 St Paul´s cathedrals, yet the one everyone knows is only the 3rd to sit on that site. That sounds confusing, but all is explained during the episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS The beginning of Harry Potter – The Half-Blood Prince features the Millennium Bridge collapsing. Danny explains why during the episode. Londoners call it the Wobbly Bridge. As the name indicates it was built for the Millennium but opened 2 years late. It was London´s first new bridge in over 100 years. It is not, as many people think, the only "pedestrian only" bridge in London.  BEST MOMENTS ‘The bridge was closed on the same day it opened. ´ ‘Like most of London's famous structures, it was the result of a competition.' ‘There have actually been 5 St Paul´s cathedrals.' HOST BIO Historian, performer, and mentor Danny Hurst has been engaging audiences for many years, whether as a lecturer, stand-up comic or intervention teacher with young offenders and excluded secondary students. Having worked with some of the most difficult people in the UK, he is a natural storyteller and entertainer, whilst purveying the most fascinating information that you didn't know you didn't know. A writer and host of pub quizzes across London, he has travelled extensively and speaks several languages. He has been a consultant for exhibitions at the Imperial War Museum and Natural History Museum in London as well as presenting accelerated learning seminars across the UK. With a wide range of knowledge ranging from motor mechanics to opera to breeding carnivorous plants, he believes learning is the most effective when it's fun. Uniquely delivered, this is history without the boring bits, told the way only Danny Hurst can.

James Joyce. That was me at school as well. Ironically, I ended up becoming a historian. The Unusual Histories podcast is all about the history you don't learn at school, nor indeed anywhere else. Discover things that you didn't know that you didn't know, fascinating historical luminaries and their vices and addictions, and the other numerous sides of every story. Danny continues his Unusual Histories podcast with the Bridge Series, remaining in London travelling east to west to look at the bridges which span the Thames. He looks at their design, construction and history, along with the history of the areas in which they're located on both sides of the river. This series kicks off with an exclusive interview with Dirk Bennett of the City Bridge Foundation, the organisation which looks after London's bridges. Tower Bridge is marking its 130th anniversary this month and Dirk talks to Danny about the history of the bridge as well as the new exhibition that is opening for it. If you love history; or indeed if you hate history, this is the podcast for you…

Erst wird sie nicht rechtzeitig zum neuen Jahrtausend fertig - dann muss sie nur zwei Tage nach der Eröffnung schon wieder geschlossen werden: die visionäre Londoner Millennium Bridge über die Themse. Ursache war ein Konstruktionsfehler. Die schwankende "Wobbly Bridge" muss versteift werden.

Im Jahr 2000 musste die damals neue „Millennium Bridge“ in London nach zwei Tagen wieder geschlossen werden – denn die Hängebrücke wackelte. Den Ingenieuren kam die Verhaltensbiologie des Menschen in die Quere: Ein wackelnder Untergrund kann zum Gleichschritt führen.

The best plum in the pudding, though, was a marriage proposal.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Beth Cullen Kerridge (@bethcullenkerridge)Beth Cullen Kerridge studied at John Moores in Liverpool, and on to postgrad at the Royal College of Art, which was a springboard on to the London art scene, with two of the London Parks Showing her work consecutively.She then showed in many exhibitions in the capital and around England, Commercial site-specific sculpture for her home town of Stoke on Trent.She honed her craft working in foundries and producing works for Edwardo Paolozzi, Elisabeth Frink and Alberto Giacometti.For eight years she was lucky enough to work closely as a Studio Assistant with the legendary Mike Bolus, for another champion Sir Anthony Caro. With Tony she worked on large scale projects working with Sir Norman Foster on the Millennium Bridge, Richard Rodgers, The Tate Gallery, and working on shows at the Venice Biennale and Marlborough Gallery New York, and the Baptistery Chapel of Light Bourborg France.For more information on the work of Beth Cullen Kerridge go to https://bethcullensculpture.co.ukTo Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofartsFor full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www.ministryofarts.orgEmail: ministryofartsorg@gmail.comSocial Media: @ministryofartsorg Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I sat down with the amazing Ben Wilson, better known to most as The Chewing Gum Man.Ben is an artist and sculptor from North London who is best known for his miniature paintings on discarded chewing gums in London and beyond. He has transformed thousands of these pieces of waste into beautiful, colourful images around the world, including hundreds on London's Millennium Bridge alone.They are often dedicated to people, pets, local businesses and landmarks and always have a sense of humanity at their core. Often hard to find and existing in a grey area of ownership and public space it is a contradiction to what Ben sees as an overly consumerist age.I've been following Ben's art for many years and every time I discover a new piece it never ceases to blow me away or put a smile on my face.We talk about his life and how he sees the chewing gum project as an act of community service, how it lead to his arrest and the subsequent court case with the City of London Police - which he won.Talking with Ben, you can't help but feel the passion and love he has for his art and the people and world around him. At the end of the episode Ben took a photo of me in the podcast studio and painted it outside with a dedication to the podcast.Despite the fact this was the second time he has attributed a piece to me, this one really did blow me away and gave me the biggest smile I've had in years.

In this new series of podcasts ... Presented by Gary Cooke and Gary Brown with Special Guest Gerry Lennon on Guitar. Take a leisurely car journey from Dublin's Lucan Bridge with the two Gary's(Cooke and Brown ) as they discuss the 24 bridges crossing the River Liffey in Dublin . And you learn a thing or two. The oldest Liffey Bridge dating back to 1753 From the Ha'penny Bridge which is one of the most famous bridges in the city and so-called because you once had to pay half a penny to cross it, the iconic is Dublin's oldest pedestrian bridge. To the Samuel Beckett Bridge - The contemporary, visually-striking bridge was designed by Spaniard Santiago Calatrava, who was inspired by both the flip of a coin and the idea of an Irish harp rotating through the air. Named after the famous Dublin modernist writer Beckett, it was opened to the public in 2009. The Rosie Hackett Bridge - The newest addition to Dublin's bridges was opened in 2014, and will join the red and green LUAS lines in 2017. Interestingly, it's the only bridge in Dublin named after a woman. Born in 1892, trade union activist Rosie was also part of a small rebel group that occupied St. Stephen's Green during the Easter Rising of 1916. And O'Connell Bridge Dating back to 1794, O'Connell Bridge runs through the centre of the city, and still retains some of its old-school charm. Fact fans – it's the only traffic bridge in Europe wider than it is long. and The Millennium Bridge which opened on December 20 1999, providing pedestrians a quick and handy route from cultural haven Temple Bar to the Italian Quarter, where you'll find a host of funky restaurants as well as some charming boutique stores. Mellows Bridge Constructed between 1764 and 1766, and is the longest-surviving structure of all the river Liffey bridges and – at almost 250 years old – is known as the ‘old man of the river'.

"I don't have one philosophy that covers every student-- I just try to push everybody's buttons and see what happens." Mathematician Steven Strogatz is here. Known not just as a math professor to his students at Cornell University, he is a great explainer of math and why perhaps so many of us —from middle school, high school, and beyond — feel like math drops us and leaves us behind. Using some early disappointing math experiences to illustrate how curiosity and perseverance can prevail, Steven explains to Daniel how his passion for teaching and conveying what he calls “the beauty, the elegance, and the playfulness” of math drives him. He is also on the hunt for an elusive answer to a long-sought question…. Support Talking Beats with Daniel Lelchuk. Steven Strogatz is the Jacob Gould Schurman Professor of Applied Mathematics at Cornell University. After graduating summa cum laude in mathematics from Princeton in 1980, Strogatz studied at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he was a Marshall Scholar. He did his doctoral work in applied mathematics at Harvard, followed by a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard and Boston University. From 1989 to 1994, Strogatz taught in the Department of Mathematics at MIT. He joined the Cornell faculty in 1994. Strogatz has broad research interests. Early in his career, he worked on a variety of problems in mathematical biology, including the geometry of supercoiled DNA, the dynamics of the human sleep-wake cycle, the topology of three-dimensional chemical waves, and the collective behavior of biological oscillators, such as swarms of synchronously flashing fireflies. In the 1990s, his work focused on nonlinear dynamics and chaos applied to physics, engineering, and biology. Several of these projects dealt with coupled oscillators, such as lasers, superconducting Josephson junctions, and crickets that chirp in unison. In each case, the research involved close collaborations with experimentalists. He also likes branching out into new areas, often with students taking the lead. In the past few years, this has led him into such topics as the role of crowd synchronization in the wobbling of London's Millennium Bridge on its opening day, and the dynamics of structural balance in social systems. He is the author of Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos (1994), Sync (2003), The Calculus of Friendship (2009), and The Joy of x (2012). His most recent book, Infinite Powers (2019), is a New York Times Best Seller.

It's the sixth most highly cited paper—on any topic—in physics. Strogatz's writing includes five books. His book Sync was chosen as a Best Book of 2003 by Discover Magazine. His 2009 book The Calculus of Friendship was called "a genuine tearjerker" and "part biography, part autobiography and part off-the-beaten-path guide to calculus". His 2012 book, The Joy of x, won the 2014 Euler Book Prize. His latest book is Infinite Powers, which, recounts the history of calculus and explains how it works and why it makes our lives immeasurably better. http://www.stevenstrogatz.com/ 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:20 Who was Herman Wouk and why do you start you book with him? 00:08:38 Should we train mathematicians to be good communicators? 00:16:19 On the significance of time, and the entropy of happiness.

Built to celebrate the event in 2000, the bridge become globally famous overnight for the wrong reasons. We take a look at London's youngest bridge, the issues it faced and how it's doing now....

On one of the many bridges across the Thames in London, Andrew Tuck pauses to ponder the best vantage points from which to see a city. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nicola Sturgeon accused Alex Salmond of putting self-interest ahead of the country’s best interests as she placed independence at the heart of her Holyrood election campaign. In an online speech to the SNP’s campaign conference, the Scottish first minister refused to say her predecessor’s name but made a thinly veiled reference to his new breakaway party, Alba. What do you think about the launch of Alex Salmond's Alba Party? How problematic do you think this will be for Sturgeon? Landmarks and buildings around the UK have been lit up in red and green to mark 50 years of Bangladesh’s independence. Locations like the London Eye, Millennium Bridge in Newcastle and Cardiff Castle have brandished the colours of the Bangladeshi flag to mark half a century since the south Asian country broke away from Pakistan. What does it mean to be Bangladeshi in Britain today?

So much noise, so many opinions. Perhaps time for Occam's Razor to start its scientific shaving? In this latest Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture Alan Champneys argues that Mathematics is at its best when it challenges assumptions. For example the wobbling of the Millennium Bridge in London in 2000. Caused by crowds synchronising? Alan begs to differ.

Hello everyone. Well we are still in the grips of the Coronavirus and Tishy and I are keeping well we hope you are too. Please make sure you are Staying at Home wherever you can. This episode was recorded 3 weeks ago before the lockdown began, when the world seemed a much safer place! This week we are walking from Southwark Bridge along to the Millennium Bridge and what a fantastic walk it was. The Globe Theatre at one end and St Paul's Cathedral at the other. Our topic this week is one we've spoken about before - Listening to your Inner Voice. If you are feeling unsure about an aspect of your life take a moment (many of us have plenty of those right now) and take stock. What is it you want to achieve? Deep down you know but too often the noise of life gets in the way. Listen to your Inner Voice, that gut feeling or intuition that shows you the right way. You don't always have to act on it but it will give you a clearer view on what is holding you back or making you unhappy. Give it a try! And as always there's our foreign phrase of the week and a very Handy Hint. Stay well and hopefully it won't be too long before we can get back to London and carry on with our tour of the Thames Bridges. Come Walk with us.

The River Thames was recently selected as the winner of the international Theiss River Prize, an award which celebrates outstanding achievement in river management and restoration. Fifty years after being declared biologically dead, the Thames scooped the prize thanks to a dramatic turnaround in its environment. Environment organisations now say that the Thames is the cleanest it has been in more than 150 years, with almost 400 new habitats being created to allow wildlife back to the river which is now teeming with fish, and home to returning salmon, otter and sea trout populations. Helen Mark begins an exploration of the Thames at Woolwich in South East London with author, Iain Sinclair, who has described the river as a story of ruin and revival and the very lifeblood of London. Travelling west along the river to the Millennium Bridge, Helen meets up with Fiona Haughey. Fiona describes herself as an inter-tidal archaeologist and the river as one of the world's largest self-excavating sites and Helen joins her in a beachcombing search for some of the river's neolithic roots. Further along the river banks at Putney Bridge, Helen finds a group of volunteers from environmental charity, Thames 21. Led by Vic Richardson, the group are working on Project Habitat, an initiative to enhance certain areas of the River Thames by building artifical islands and river banks to encourage suitable habitats and attract wildlife. Leaving the city behind, Helen heads out into the Berkshire countryside where she meets Alastair Driver, conservation manager with the Environment Agency. Cycling along the river through Sonning-on-Thames, Alastair tells Helen how this particular stretch of water near his home now runs crystal clear in the summer and how sheer hard work along the whole of the Thames has resulted in this amazing clean-up story. Finally, Helen joins volunteer river warden, Dick Mayon White from the River Thames Society, a charity which aims to protect and preserve the river. Dick takes Helen for a stroll along a stretch of the river near Port Meadow and explains why it means so much to him and why it is so important to preserve the river for future generations.
