Meet Frank by Aisha Yusaf
Today we meet Frank, another one of Said.fm's brilliant curators. Frank joined us via an Edinburgh connection (where we built some of Said.fm) and after a cup of hot chocolate we knew that this man would bring some intriguing and interesting listening recommendations for us all. Check out Frank's recommendations on Said.fm and indulge yourself in the following 2 minute interview to find out more about what he's into:
Hey, Frank!... So, what are you into?
Doing science, talking about science, writing about science, podcasting about science -- see a theme yet?
How can we tweet about you in 140 characters or less?
Quintessential geek with a passion for science, podcasts and storytelling. /
What's your favourite programme?
I listen to so many -- but I'd have to say Answer Me This, because it's the only one that can make me giggle uncontrollably on the bus.
Why are audio programmes appealing to you?
I get enough visual stimulus by sitting in front of a computer most of the day, so it's nice to listen to an audio programme on the walk home. They're also a very effective and simple medium for storytelling and conveying information.
Do you make your own programmes?
Of course! I'm currently helping to host the EUSci science podcast from the University of Edinburgh. Tune in to this podcast if you want to hear the latest science news and interviews with scientists, communicators and entertainers. Or just listen for a bit of silliness.
If you were to recommend 1 programme to someone who's never listened to podcasts what would it be and why should they listen?
Radiolab and I would recommend the EUSci podc-- what's that? Oh, right, no more self-promotion. In that case, I would recommend the Guardian's Science Weekly podcast as a great example of old media harnessing new media.
