Welcome to the Syllab podcast. The first 60 episodes are designed to track exactly the initial 6 series of essays, each comprising 10 chapters, so one can switch between both media seamlessly. Their objective is to provide readers and listeners with the relevant explanations to make sense of the world around them, from the real of physics to cosmology, electronic equipment, transport and even global trade and economics. The content is explained in a manner that tries to balance accessibility and precision, because often what we call details are pretty central and simply should not be ignored for the sake of brevity.

After those initial series, we’ll see where this podcast takes us but one thing is certain, it will be interesting!
