As ever, though, once I start complaining of something not existing it turns up everywhere. Latest one is an episode of Science in Action that I haven't got round to listening to yet but looks interesting: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/scia/ Hi Monira

Maybe "Watching the English" as well. And at a real stretch, "The Naked Ape" and anything else that explains humans as a type of wildlife. Oh, and there's that book about the lunatic who contributed to the original Oxford English dictionary.
