Interesting 2003 episode from the #InOurTime archive.
Some topics turn out to be an ambitious ask for the format. A seemingly frustrating discussion for all involved, including @raymodraco.bsky.social and @barrycsmith.bsky.social.
“Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.”
I've just caught up with the extended episode of this week's #InOurTime about Margaret Beaufort
Such a FANTASTIC episode 👏

I don't mind a Misha as the new Melvin at all. This is good stuff.

Thoroughly enjoyed
this conversation about
The Code of Hammurabi.
Misha Glenny is an
excellent host, a worthy
successor to
Melvyn Bragg.

BBC Radio 4 #InOurTime doing Hammurabi this week. Best ever quote from a long ago colleague: "Isn't that a bit like a turnip?"
📻 Dr Laurence Publicover (@bristolunienglish.bsky.social) joins BBC Radio 4 #InOurTime to discuss Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part 1 with @oldfortunatus.bsky.social, @lucycmunro.bsky.social & Misha Glenny

Circling mosaic used as the ident for ‘In Our Time’ on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
After four editions under its new presenter, I feel the much-loved ‘In Our Time’ in not just in safe hands but in the best possible hands.

After hearing the excellent @bachrach.bsky.social talking to @oldfortunatus.bsky.social earlier this week about Richard II, it's great to see her book at the top of the reading list for today's #InOurTime on Henry IV Part 1.
Looking forward to listening 🎧📻

@mishaglenny.bsky.social Bravo! #InOurTime is still information & interesting. You're doing a grand job after succeeded Melvin Bragg. He will be missed of course, but you have "filled his boots" perfectly. Sincere thanks. #BBCRadio4
Melvyn Bragg has left some really big shoes for Misha Glenny to fill 😬:
“Misha Glenny To present BBC Radio 4’s In Our Time” [2025], BBC (www.bbc.com/mediacentre/...).

Today's "Saddest Piece of Info": scientists exploring the Mariana Trench (western Pacific Ocean, ard 11000 meters deep) found cigarette packets and cardboard boxes and dear gods, can we just stop being trashy and dropping our stuff *everywhere*
BTW Misha Glenny doing bang up job as #InOurTime host
We dived into the Mariana Trench by accident. #inourtime
However genial & informed he is, I swear Misha Glenny's more measured delivery has lost a couple of minutes of panel discussion from #BBC #InOurTime. Still, a veritable #UniversityOfTheAir
Glad that Misha has retained Melvyn's "HELLO!"
#InOurTime
they should do an #InOurTime on #InOurTime as a media/public service broadcasting, and cultural phenomenon, with Melvin as a guest ofc. cc @simontillotson.bsky.social
Only #BBC would do this. Misha Glenny presents his first edition of #InOurTime, succeeding Melvyn Bragg who retired. He+his guests discuss the landmark work #OnLiberty by #JohnStuartMill, published in 1859+the increasing recognition for his wife Harriet Taylor Mill's contribution.
#liberalism #power
Excellent first episode of #InOurTime with Misha Glenny at the helm. A good choice.

The baton passed successfully. #inourtime
Not trying to make too big a claim here, but it's been a rough time for the world but now #InOurTime is back, so I'm pretty sure we'll see an uptick in wisdom, thoughtfulness, empathy, and general smarts.
Will always miss Bragg - but loving MG already. Thanks BBC team.

Thanks for the intro, In Our Time is a special program.

Simon Schaffer used to be a talking head on TV documentaries but you don't see him these days. He's in this 2003 discussion, along with Jenny Uglow and Peter Jones about the Lunar Society. #InOurTime www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
You'd think a radio show called The Earth's Origins would be about, you know, the origins of the Earth. But no, it was just a brief discussion about what we understand about how old the Earth might be. #InOurTime
Well done to the three guests for attempting to describe the complex geological history of Britain and Ireland in 45 minutes. #InOurTime www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
So glad the In Our Time will continue
Now to send in my annual request for an episode on utopia/Robert Owen/Intentional Communities.
