Every now and then, the BBC broadcast special programs on gaming and board games.  In the past we have had the playing with history article on BBC Radio Oxford and the “why we play” series on BBC Radio 4, as well as a number of other shorter articles.  More recently, there was a Start the Week episode—although this was varied and interesting, it was more about video games than board games.

This week, however, BBC Radio 4‘s Infinite Monkey Cage with Brian Cox and Robin Ince are doing a special on board games featuring Marcus de Sautoy from the Maths Department in Oxford, games designer Dave Neale and comedienne Jessica Fostekew.   Although it is scheduled to be broadcast on Radio 4 tomorrow at 11am, it is already available on BBC Sounds and will be for at least a year.
