BBC Sounds

 Some very interesting podcasts on BBC Sounds for those who like them.

I really enjoyed At your own Peril by Prof Lucy Easthorpe, which is about risk - a subject I whitter on about on my courses a lot, as I think it is greatly misunderstood in procurement.  Or commonly, not even thought about at all.

Another is Derailed: The story of HS2.  As I was saying just the other day, "fail to plan, plan to fail".  A real shame and embarrassment for our country.

And of course the Covid Enquiry podcast - which has got about 50 episodes but  the ones of interest to most of us are the PPE procurement and VIP lane episodes.

As someone who lived through Peter Sutcliffe's terrible crimes (the last of which Jacqui Hill from my student flats) I was also interested in Wearside Jack, which is about the hoaxer who distracted police efforts and was eventually brought to justice years later.

Another Leeds connection is Prof Steve Haake (now Sheffield Hallam University) who is a guest on The Infinite Monkey Cage.  Which also leads me back to my Physics past with 13 Seconds to the Moon and the Space Shuttle.

And of course all covered by the BBC license fee.

Now if I only had the time to listen to more.  (walking the dog is such a good excuse).
