  1. 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?

    ¹ Whose articles do not seem to be posted on her fedi account anymore?

  2. 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.

  3. 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

  4. A new episode of The Infinite Monkey Cage podcast explores what life would be like (?) without stars. Enjoy! #infinitemonkeycage #stars #podcasts #space 🧪 🔭

  5. 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.

  6. As a long-time fan of the #InfiniteMonkeyCage, the moment in the "Born Yesterday" episode when #Bluey is momentarily uncertain whether a picked strawberry is alive or dead is :chefs-kiss: 😁

  12. Since we're talking about #podcasts, here's what I've been listening to the past few weeks. It's absolutely brilliant! bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00snr0w

    I'm listening to it on Google Podcasts but I'm sure it's on other podcast players and of course directly from the Beeb.
