  • Did The Victorians Ruin The World? On Radio 4 all this week…

    Did The Victorians Ruin The World? On Radio 4 all this week…

    It’s finally here! The radio series I wrote with my sister, Dr Kat Arney, about whether the Victorians were really that ingenious, is out on BBC Radio 4 all this week. Collect all five episodes, from Squirrels and Cars to Beards, Darwinism and Water Flushing Toilets.

    Links to hear each episode live – and listen again for 28 days after – are in my latest newsletter.

    Along with details about our new Festival of the Spoken Nerd DVD recording at The Albany Theatre in Deptford – Just For Graphs – on 6th and 8th May.

    Buy tickets for the recordings – and pre-order the DVD and download – now!

  • News news news! QI, Soho Theatre and new “Elements” song

    cover2It’s been a busy few months… too busy to update this page, so here’s a link to my latest newsletter.

    Highlights include our BBC Two debut as Festival of the Spoken Nerd, in the new series of QI – bringing three electrifying experiments to try out on the panel.

    Also our ten-night run at the Soho Theatre starts in just under a month and runs from 11th to 21st January, with the best of Festival of the Spoken Nerd’s last two tours. Plus a very special concert for families that I’m hosting for the London Philharmonic Orchestra.

    And online I’ve re-recorded Tom Lehrer’s “Elements” with the 16 elements he didn’t know about when he wrote the song in 1959. They even rhyme!

    Read it all here.

     

  • I Solve London’s Problems (for Time Out)

    London ProblemsHere’s me in a recent issue of Time Out London, solving problems for my fellow capital city-dwellers using a dash of science.

    You can hear more problems being solved by me, Matt and Steve in “Domestic Science”, our new Radio 4 comedy show! Broadcasts start next Wednesday 20th July and all the details are here.

    Tune in live at 11.15pm or listen & download afterwards. It’s a treat for your ears, and you might (possibly) learn something too.
