Podcasts are a good way to take in information while on the move. A quick web search shows that there are very many podcasts available on the subject of Tribology. Let's use this discussion thread to highlight the podcasts that we especially like and might be interesting to other readers of this forum.



My first nomination is from a BBC radio programme earlier this year. It is a very good example because I listened to the programme to hear about a completely different topic. Even when Tribology is discussed, the word is not used. In this case, that is a good thing. Without using unnecessary terminology, the significance of reducing friction in a mechanical clock escapement becomes very clear, and the use of self-lubricating material as part of the ingenious design solution, are explained by a very talented inventor, Dr John C. Taylor. (The relevant discussion happens in the first nine minutes of the programme)
