View From The Quad is best taken fresh from www.ViewFromTheQuad.com

Today on the show, we have a rather huge amount of Science stories, and very few Science Fiction ones, if any. But if that is your thing, you’ll LOVE it! It’s great. Stories include how Caffeine makes us easier to persuade, how an author is having his shit made into a new lifeform, how fuel can be made from plastic bags and a whole lot more. Like, loads more, mate. Loads.

Remember: This show runs (mostly) on YOUR donations! If you like what you hear here and want more of the same, head over to www.ViewFromTheQuad.com and leave a donation! It can be any amount you want, or a monthly €2 subscription. Thanks!
