Projects > Conversationalist Podcast

ConSciCom is very excited to introduce our new podcast series, The Conversationalist, an audio programme modeled on the Victorian tradition of 'conversazione,' public events that brought together science, arts, and the general public.

In this episode, we talk about how historians can use crowdsourcing technology to support their research by looking at the ScienceGossip.org.

In this episode, we talk to Royal Society Librarian, Keith Moore, about how the Royal Society crowdsourced information about a 19th century volcanic eruption.

You’re invited to join our science-themed cocktail party, where experts on the history of science tell us stories, fun facts, and random anecdotes about the development of scientific knowledge from the 19th century to today.

In this episode, we talk to Professor Marcus du Sautoy about the wisdom of the crowd.

A new episode of The Conversationalist podcast is available today! In this episode, Dr Sally Frampton (ConSciCom, University of Oxford) and Dr Oskar Cox Jenson (Queen Mary University of London) discuss vaccination and the anti-vax movement in the 19thc.
