This seven-part podcast series unravels the woes and the politics in what is often described as the “war to end all wars”, leading to an Allied Powers victory and the formation of new nations across Europe and the Middle East. We walk through the final weeks of the war with military historian Glyn Harper [Link 1] and RadioLIVE host Graeme Hill. “Jesus, make it stop: The death throes of WWI” [Link 2] originally aired on RadioLIVE’s Weekend Variety Wireless show [LINK 3}, with a new episode coming out every Sunday from 9:30pm.

Although most well-known for his work at Bletchley Park in the pioneering days which saw the birth of modern practical computing; Turing had achieved fame well before the second world war, with a seminal account of theoretical computation and his solution to the Entscheidungs problem. An Olympic-class marathon runner, whose refusal to conform to the narrow sexual standards of the day led to persecution and an early death - Turing did fundamental research on Artificial Intelligence, Computer Programming and even Mathematical Biology. This weekend attempts a rounded view of a polymath, one of the great mathematicians of the twentieth century, his life and his times.
