Someone asked a tangential question on another thread and I thought, Oh! There was an Omega Tau episode on that very subject! It's been about five years since the link was posted to HN, so it's about time to revisit it.<p>Roughly half the episodes are in German and half in English.<p>Here's an excerpt from their "About" page<p>> How do scientists uncover phenomena and explain their connections? How do engineers design machines, methods and infrastructure? At omega tau, experts give detailed answers. Over the last ten years, we have produced 300 episodes in which we dug deeper, until we ran out of questions. Join us on our journey through the world of science and engineering: the closer you look and listen, the more interesting things get.
