I don't mind a Misha as the new Melvin at all. This is good stuff.

Misha Glenny to present BBC Radio 4’s In Our Time

The much loved series returns on 15 January 2026

I think it’ll be fine. It just needs bedding in.

I’m talking about #BBC #Radio4 #InOurTime, with the new host Misha Glennie. Following a quarter century of Melvin Bragg is not easy.

Melvyn Bragg‘s ‘In Our Time‘ has been a regular weekly highlight for decades now. I sincerely hope, it will continue to do so.

But here is a great life lesson from Melvyn himself:

“My week always finishes with a list of phone calls to family and friends. The list has diminished considerably over the past few years. I have lost so many close friends from
childhood, school, university and Cumbria. It’s a sad moment each week when I realise the number of people who are no longer here.“

My farewell to In Our Time

I set up In Our Time 27 years ago. I had been shunted from Start the Week to what was cheerfully known as the ‘death slot’, 9 a.m. on Thursdays, because BBC management decided I could no longer present that programme after becoming a member of the House of Lords. I know I’ve said it

The Spectator
Cnut rolls into England in 1016 and doesn’t just conquer, he governs. Centralized power, cross-sea empire-building, and diplomacy with a Viking edge. From chaos to control, this king was no myth. 🛡️👑

VIKINGS vs SAMURAI

Listening to #InOurTime on the Time Machine, I am asking myself whether #AI #LLM users are choosing to become Eloi, are choosing to let their intellects atrophy, by delegating their creative and critical faculties to machines.
