In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg: The Four Humours

"In Our Time with Melvyn Bragg" is a wonderful show on BBC Radio 4 in the UK where they discuss some of the very big ideas in (mostly) Western history, science and culture. It's well worth checking out as topics are extremely varied and are well put forward by experts in the field. You can listen to it through the BBC Radio Player, or by podcast.

This most recent episode is about the Four Humours of the body and temperament, an old idea with interesting parallels to the three doshas of Ayurveda.
