Tony 💉x10 🇦🇺It really feels like the end of an era: Melvyn Bragg is leaving his role as host of "In Our Time". 🙁
रञ्जित (Ranjit Mathew)Melvyn Bragg has left some really big shoes for Misha Glenny to fill 😬:
“Misha Glenny To present BBC Radio 4’s In Our Time” [2025], BBC (https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2025/misha-glenny-in-our-time-bbc-radio-4).
Jonathan EmmesediWhen I feel sad and angry about the BBC's willingness to be Nigel Farage's megaphone, I try to save myself from plunging into despair by remembering the kind of broadcasting which Melvyn Bragg exemplifies.

DJ SpaceTerrapinOh...that is quite a pity. The first English podcast avant la lettre I fell in love with.

Dr Susi ArnottFabulous #sciencecommunication from @BBCRD - #InOurTime slot ranges across so many subject areas, but #MelvynBragg seems to have the knack for #LifeSciences

...noch jemand, von dem meist nur #Historiker wissen, [Tommelwirbel], den #Mönch #Alcuin of #York,
der überragende Berater von #KarlDemGrossen. Er reformierte die damalige #Bildungssprache #Latein und goss sie in die weitestgehend noch heute gebräuchliche Form.

ThreeOfUsSome of the @BBCRadio4 #InOurTime episodes absolutely grip me (like today’s ‘The economic consequences of the peace’) whereas others bore me to tears. The incredible thing is that #MelvynBragg seems passionate about every single episode. His breadth of knowledge and capacity to make insightful observations on any subject under the sun is mind blowing. He’s still sharp as ever at 83. Respect. #radio4 #bbc

Blake EskinCelebrated #IOT1000 by listening to the Valladolid Debate, the #InOurTime repeat that dropped this morning for those who can’t be bothered with the BBC Sounds app. Such a pleasure to hear Simon Tillotson’s deft craftsmanship, and I hope after summer recess he is back to offering #MelvynBragg and his guests tea or coffee at the end
BBC Radio 4🎥 That 1,000th edition of In Our Time covers Ingmar Bergman's extraordinarily beautiful 1957 film The Seventh Seal, a personal favourite of Melvyn Bragg.
(and don't forget, the version of In Our Time that's on BBC Sounds always has an additional few minutes of discussion)
