The entire BBC In Our Time archive browsable by Dewey-Decimal code? Yes please

I made a website to find old episodes of In Our Time to listen to. There are almost a thousand, it’s my starting point for any new topic

Very early, suggestions welcome

@genmon I hope that's not the only way of navigating through this data.

#Dewey is really a very bad idea in general and this dirty workaround should be replaced by more practical alterantives as soon as possible.

I really don't get it why so many people still use #DCC as hierarchy. Its structure is a frozen state of a hundred year-old bias which doesn't reflect our reality any more for many decades.

@publicvoit @genmon As a fan of In Our Time and a library assistant when I was younger, this is just perfect.

@G0OXO @genmon Yes, I know that we've got many old-school systems that are so deep down in DCC that it's hard to migrate to a better concept. However, that doesn't make DCC any better. It's an old dinosaur that refuses to get extinct. πŸ˜”

On https://www.reddit.com/r/datacurator/ there is a fanbase of DCC, applying it even for computer file management. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ 🀷
