‘Having presented well over 1,000 episodes of the much-loved BBC Radio 4 series, Melvyn Bragg has made the decision to step down from In Our Time following the series which aired earlier this year. Melvyn has presented every episode of In Our Time since the series first launched in 1998,’ wrote the BBC.
‘Over the years, a select few BBC radio programmes have carved out distinctive niches in the nation’s affections’ writes The Guardian. It continues, ‘In Our Time embodies something fundamental to media. It is living proof that it is possible to be both serious and popular.’ I would often listen to Lord (Melvyn) Bragg and his esteemed guests on the radio from whom not only did I learn a lot by listening to their fascinating insights and sharing of their expertise but enjoyed their conversations as if they were chatting with me directly and personally over a coffee ☕️ or an evening drink🍷. It was as relaxing as it was informative. I look forward to listening to the equally brilliant new presenter, Mishal Husain.
