Unfortunately, I cannot listen:

"BBC Future (international version)

um, Vincent, it's not a 'listen' - just some 'internet pages' - buuuut ??

Are you joking?

BBC/future contains some astonishing and extremely interesting information. There is also, apparently, a "solar powered" (unmanned) aircraft that can stay aloft for 28 days, and people working on the concept of "Warp speed" spacecraft (will be a while before that one becomes a reality, tho).

Dunno about you lot, but from my point of view - beats the drivel about which celebrity is bonking who ..
