I wasn't sure about this when I started listening - Captain Jack (ie John Barrowman) goes for a look round CERN. But it works really well. He's able to ask the dumb questions, so things get explained, and he says the stuff that you and I would, like 'look at that cool crane'. And you really get a feel for the place as a workplace, the behind the scenesiness of it, the banter in the canteen. A good listen.
Just listened to this on the way to work. I love a bit of science in the morning...

I know Brian has more podcasts like this planned in the buid-up to switch on at which time he admits there is a theoretical possibility that they will create a black hole. But he assured me the likelihood was minimal.
