  • [EN] Unleashing digital skills in research - with Phil Reed
    Oct 13 2025

    English Edition: Meet Phil Reed from the University of Manchester and SSI fellow. In my chat with Phil we touch on a number of themes, like how to boost digital skills for people outside the research software domain, like librarians. And look out for Phil's other endeavours (hint: towards the end of the episode).

  • [EN] Sounds from outer space - the Voyager Programme - with Bill Kurth
    Oct 6 2025

    English Edition: My guest Bill Kurth and I will go on a space exploration of a special kind: the Voyager probes. Launched in 1977 just a few weeks apart they have now reached interstellar space. Some of the data they send back to Earth are audio - which can tell us a lot about the outer planets like Jupiter or indeed interstellar space, where both Voyagers are now.
