Nature Podcast 12 February 2009: Darwin extravaganza

We've a cracking show for you this week: the Nature Podcast, like the rest of the magazine, is celebrating the birth of Charles Darwin, 200 years ago on the 12th Feb.

For this special episode we're at Down House, the Darwin family home for over 40 years. Join us on the hunt for Darwin's pigeons, for poetry from a Darwin descendant, and to find out how Darwin dabbled in psychology. Plus, we talk to actor Paul Bettany about playing Darwin in the new movie 'Creation'. You can hear an extended version of that interview in our Podcast Extra.

Happy Birthday Darwin!
