BBC "in our time" radio show did an outstanding episode on the topic. As usual it had an amazing calibre of guests but a totally understated style. Also no long pointless intro full of terrible banter or lengthy bullet list of what will be discussed.
I wish podcasts could follow this example:

- seanhunter 2y agoI love "In our time". When you said this I thought "I'll know if they're really serious if Tim Gowers[1] is one of the guests". Sure enough, he is. The BBC also had him on (the Today programme iirc but it was a while ago) the one time to comment when someone claimed to have proved it.

- pipes 2y agoThanks, it's been years since I listened to this. Now after reading about Timothy gowers I want to listen to it again.
- dleink 2y agoThe only banter is when the producer offers tea at the end, which seems incredibly necessary to me.
