Link: https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/09/03/2253...
After 26 years and over 1,000 episodes, Melvyn Bragg is stepping down as
presenter of BBC Radio 4�(TM)s In Our Time, leaving behind a legacy of
intellectual curiosity and broadcasting excellence. While he will no longer
host the series, he will remain involved with the BBC and is set to launch a
new project in 2026. The BBC reports: Over the last quarter of a century,
Melvyn has skilfully led conversations about everything from the age of the
Universe to �Zenobia�(TM), Queen of the Palmyrene Empire. He has welcomed the
company of the brightest and best academics in their fields, sharing their
passion and knowledge with a fascinated audience right around the globe.
While he will be much missed on In Our Time, Melvyn will continue to be a
friend of Radio 4 with more to come to celebrate his extraordinary career,
and a new series in 2026 (details to be announced soon). Melvyn Bragg says:
"For a program with a wholly misleading title which started from scratch with
a six-month contract, it's been quite a ride! I have worked with many
extremely talented and helpful people inside the BBC as well as some of the
greatest academics around the world. It's been a great privilege and
pleasure. I much look forward to continuing to work for the BBC on Radio 4.
Thank you for listening." [...] In Our Time will be back on Radio 4 with a
new presenter who will be announced in due course.
