People doing Physics podcast

As fascinating as physics is, it can feel abstract, yet every discovery begins with a person seeking to understand the world they live in. Join us on the first Thursday of every month as we get up close and personal with the researchers, technicians, students, teachers, and people that are the beating heart of Cambridge University’s Physics Department. Listen from our website or your favourite podcast app.
