Brian Cox and Robin Ince explore the secret life of birds.

BBC

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?

I was a #vegan before I saw this. Now I'm a double vegan. #squid

I am a vegan and saw this an thought of the #eel #unagi that is very healthy to eat, except it's a similar 🥶 horror show (listen to the audio podcast)

⭕Sad to eat an intelligent squid (and octopus) and of creating an #endangeredspecies the ⭕eel

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.

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

Comedian Robin Ince quits Radio 4 show, claiming BBC found his views ‘problematic’

Ince says he resigned as co-host of Infinite Monkey Cage because of what he described as his lack of ‘obedience’

The Guardian
I've listened to the #InfiniteMonkeyCage #fusion podcast episode twice today while driving one or another kid to his/her afterschool activities. I hope some of it stuck in their brains.
Hey fedi #comedy / #InfiniteMonkeyCage / #CosmicShambles fans, @robinince is here! Give him a follow.
A new episode of The Infinite Monkey Cage podcast explores what life would be like (?) without stars. Enjoy! #infinitemonkeycage #stars #podcasts #space 🧪 🔭
