19.01.01 - Podcast Pioneers

Back in 2001, Dr Chris Smith launched a new show, The Naked Scientists, in the hope of making science accessible. It was one of the first radio programmes to be made into a podcast and is now one of the world's most popular science shows. In the past five years, the programme has been downloaded more than 50 million times. Dr Chris has travelled the world in search of the latest science topics and trends, through which he has won numerous national and international accolades. He joins Lawrence Jones MBE to discuss bringing science to life through podcasts, how the team are engaging more people with STEM subjects and, if you can stomach it, find out how many organs you can donate and still remain alive! This episode is from Lawrence Jones' podcast, Mind Your Own Business...
