Saturday, February 26, 2011 at 03:53PM Podcast Science: A weekly science audio podcast in French!
Hi everybody,
Just a few words to introduce a new show here on SciencePodcasters: Podcast Science
Podcast Science is a weekly amateur podcast in French hosted by three moderators: Alan, Mathieu and Anh Tuan.
We cover all kinds of science related topics, ranging from the origin of the universe to absolute pitch...
In each episode, after a little housekeeping related to our fast-growing community of listeners, and after sharing a few news, we usually present the 2 feature stories (dossiers) we have prepared.
Occasionally, we have guests on the show. And no decent episode can end without Mathieu's famous quote of the week, philosophically inspiring and somehow related to science or mathematics.
Every episode has its post on the website: http://www.podcastscience.fm/category/emission/
And every feature article has its written transcription: http://www.podcastscience.fm/category/dossiers/
In some cases, we even are lucky enough to be gifted with an illustration, related to one of the articles: http://www.podcastscience.fm/category/illustrations/
In fact, the show is not that new, it has been going on for a few months now, so here is a list of the available episodes (the audio download is available at the bottom of each post):
25 - Science denialism: how to recognize it and how to deal with it (2 guests: Lia Rosso, former scientist, currently a science writer and Pascal Diethelm, an anti-tobacco-lobbies and anti-science-denialists famous activist in Switzerland)
24 - Acupuncture & the physics of lightning
23 - The Muesli effect & the physics of Champagne
22 - The origin of the universe
