Professor Geraint Lewis continues with The Science of Science Fiction at 10:40 am and this week the topic is The Science of Aliens.

My special guests this week are Catherine and Michael Atherton. Michael is the editor and adaptor of In Exile From St Petersburg, about the life of Catherine’s grandfather, Abram Saulevitch Kagan. Abram’s life follows the vagaries of the history of the first half of the twentieth century, as we follow his exile from St Petersburg, to Berlin, to Brussels and via France and Spain, finally to New York. What a story!

Music this week will all be Russian:  by Russians or about them.

I look forward to your company!
