This week, Sophia has curated a collection of facts, beliefs, and opinions in audio form, including the etymology of the word “Arctic” provided by the You're Dead to Me gang, and a calculation (or attempt) of how many days there are exactly in Lent with the help of Tim Harford. Keeping on the spiritual side of things, Not Even Water chat first times of fasting during Ramadan, and we accompany a pilgrim with a prosthesis in rural Italy on the Camino de Santiago. And it's all well and good thinking all this radio is the best of the week's, but what was the take of the Bristolians of Barton Hill on the new-fangled wireless in 1938? Between the Ears brings us back to the Golden Age of Radio through the scribblings of a survey.
