Songs of the Humpback Whale
Taken from the sound sheet included as a page in the January 1979 issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.
“Roger Payne is the marine scientist who led the team that discovered that whales produce these songs. In 1970 he put out a record album called Songs of the Humpback Whale. It was one of the landmark events in changing the way humans perceive the animal world….Since the release of Songs of the Humpback Whale you have this great movement among people to disallow hunting whales, to preserve marine habitat for whales, and to think about whales and other marine mammals as fellow creatures that have some right to be here with us.”
—Radio Expeditions correspondent Alex Chadwick

BBC Horizon (1981) - The Pleasure of Finding Things Out
Richard Feynman was one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists and original thinkers of the 20th century. He rebuilt the theory of quantum electrodynamics, and it was for this work that he won the Nobel Prize in 1965.
In 1981, he gave Horizon a candid interview, talking about many things close to his heart.
“THE PLEASURE OF FINDING THINGS OUT was filmed in 1981 and will delight and inspire anyone who would like to share something of the joys of scientific discovery. Feynman is a master storyteller, and his tales — about childhood, Los Alamos and the Bomb, or how he won a Nobel Prize — are a vivid and entertaining insight into the mind of a great scientist at work and play.”
“The 1981 Feynman Horizon is the best science programme I have ever seen. This is not just my opinion - it is also the opinion of many of the best scientists that I know who have seen the programme… It should be mandatory viewing for all students whether they be science or arts students.”
