  1. Now could my former employer #BBC be so bloody stupid to make a new #InfiniteMonkeyCage series. It beggars belief that no one in the management chain went - no don't!

  6. Following on from Robin Ince's resignation from #InfiniteMonkeyCage ⁰, @rebeccawatson ¹ delves into a a bit of a blind spot:

    > But why, in all this reporting, did Brian [Cox] not volunteer any kind of statement on his friend and co-host of sixteen years being ousted by the BBC? Why did no news outlet even seem to ask?

  11. What I will always remember of IMC - turning up to a recording the day I heard my dad had died, seeing Brian Blessed up on stage with the panel, being Brian - slamming a fist on the table so hard water jumped out of his glass - laughing.
    Seeing Robin after, always so kind and caring.
    He always listens.
    He is one of the best of us.

  15. Reading Robin Ince’s posts about his resignation and wondering what’s next. The BBC appear to want to continue with the Infinite Monkey Cage despite it being Robin’s creation. I don’t think they realise what the program was, it the fact that it revolved around Robin and Brian’ chemistry. The Infinite Monkey Cage at the BBC is dead, like it or not.

    And who would listen to a re-launched show anyway? It won’t be me despite having listened from the beginning, and I’m guessing a significant proportion on its long term listenership will be the same. It’s not the infinite monkey cage without Robin. And I can’t see Brian Cox continuing. #InfiniteMonkeyCage

  24. Ooh, Infinite Monkey Cage episodes I haven’t heard yet! Started with Hollywood in Space, of course, with both astronauts and the special FX director Paul Franklin for a different point of view.

    As for sci-fi inspiring science, I was waiting for the mention of Frau im Mond (Woman in the Moon) and got it. Sweet. Silent era sci-fi, folks (Berlin, not Hollywood)!

  26. I was listening to the latest monkey cage podcast on calories and food. Dr van Tulleken said that you expend the same calorie expenditure whether you exercise or not, and your body re-prioritises what it spends energy on. I think he is referring to this study which says that energy use plateaus the more you exercise. sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    It was a good episode, but that seemed like a stupendously bad mis-framing of the facts.
