The Naked Scientists Podcast

How do you dig a 26 mile tunnel beneath a city and below the water table? This week we drop in on Crossrail, who are busy constructing a new commuter line below the UK capital, to discover how massive tunnels are made in the modern era.

Also, news of a drug that can repair the brain damage done by multiple sclerosis, and a planet found floating alone in interstellar space... Like this podcast?
