In Our Time is a long-running live BBC radio programme in which Melvyn Bragg guides three expert guests through a 40 minute discussion of the weeks' subject. The show's tag-line is "exploring the history of ideas" and subject matter jumps eclectically from science to history, literature, religion and philosophy. The experts are almost always erudite and able to explain the sometimes-complex material so as to be understandable to the reasonably educated layman.

As far as I know this torrent includes all the episodes of In Our Time that were broadcast in 2003. There doesn't seem to have been a programme on April 10th.
