I recorded a few of the MRT announcements by Juanita Melson when they were phasing out her recordings. I don't own these tracks, but I have uploaded them because I am sure many Singaporeans treasure her voice. Rest in peace, Mrs Melson.

Physicist, writer and broadcaster Dr Helen Czerski joins Josie and Robin this week to talk about the science of every day things, which just happens to be what her new book, ’Storm in a Teacup’ is all about.  There’s also love for the work of Richard Fortey, Grayson Perry, Bruce Chatwin and more.  And there’s also a special announcement this week. Robin and Josie are off on tour with Cosmic Shambles LIVE, a science, comedy, literary, musical variety night.  There’ll be plenty of guests along for the ride, including Helen, and the show is going around Australia and New Zealand in early 2017.  Tickets and details at cosmicshambleslive.com
