Captain Jack Visits CERN

Actor John Barrowman (aka Captain Jack) visits CERN to learn about the Large Hadron Collider. Here’s the podcast and here’s the vidcast. The podcast is much more meaty as far as science goes, but if you want to see Captain Jack in a hardhat, then by all means watch the vidcast. Unfortunately, there’s some really irritating music on the vidcast as well, so you will have to put up with that…

 

The moment in the podcast when Dr. Brian Cox asks Barrowman what sort of quark he would like to be is classic (hint: the choices include such flavours as top or bottom).

 

I see that there’s also a podcast with Charles Jencks – I must listen to that as well.
