Forgive me for being a little self-indulgent today.
I am very chuffed and rather proud to have been featured in Mr Barton’s Podcast, as one of three recommended websites or blogs by his interviewee Rob Eastaway. Many you will know of Rob Eastaway, but for those of you who don’t, he is an author and broadcaster who is active in the popularisation of mathematics, somewhat of a celebrity in mathematical circles (aren’t all circles mathematical?!)
He describes my – this – blog as “whimsical, self-deprecating and slightly serendipitous”, and I couldn’t have hoped for a better analysis.
And to hear my website mentioned alongside FullFact.org – the UK;s independent fact checking charity – and the BBC Podcast “The Boring Talks” puts me at exalted heights of which I could only dream.
My mention can be found on Mr Barton’s Podcast – well worth listening to the whole show, but if you want to hear my cameo mention please skip ahead to 2hr 13 mins.
I write my blog because I enjoy doing so, that others enjoy reading it is a great honour.
If you’ve never read any of Rob Eastaway’s books, I suggest you do – you can find a collection of them here , and his next book is published on Thursday:
