Also known as Sci Fri, this popular American science podcast and radio programme has covered all aspects of science since 1991. One of the first US radio science talk shows, the programme has over the years featured such names as Carl Sagan, Jane Goodall, Sylvia Earle and Oliver Sacks and has a reputation for groundbreaking and original science reporting. According to the site, the show’s founder and executive producer Ira Flatow was the first person to use the word ‘podcast’ on the airwaves.

A series of engaging, lively videos produced for the Royal Society. The format is simple: in each episode video journalist Brady Haran and Keith Moore, the Royal Society’s Librarian, look at a single object in the society’s collections and discuss its scientific and historical significance. Among the objects uncovered are Captain Cook’s quadrant, the letters of H.G. Wells, a very powerful 18th century magnet and some very expensive 19th century photographs.

Website created by Chris Willmott at the University of Leicester as a resource for lecturers and students of bioscience in Higher Education. The main aim of biologyonthebox is to share suggestions for the use of television in teaching Biology. The only constraint is that the programmes suggested must be available in Box of Broadcasts (Bob). The site is clearly laid out and easy to navigate. A helpful list of categories, from Agriculture and Bioethics to Virology and Zoology helps users navigate the resource. Each entry features a url to the programme on BoB along with information about the programme and suggestions on how to use it in teaching.
