  <br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;">In Our Time - 2006</span><!--bold--> <br /> <br /> BBC Radio 4<br /> MP3: 56kbps (mono); 44 kHz (see notes)<br /> 29 hours 13 mins (42 episodes of approx 42 mins each)<br /> <br /> In Our Time is a long-running live BBC radio programme where Melvyn Bragg guides three expert guests through a 40 minute discussion the weeks' subject. The show's tag-line is &quot;exploring the history of ideas&quot; and subject matter jumps eclectically from science to history, literature, religion and philosophy.
