The Constant: A History of Getting Things WrongJoin Now to Follow
Did you know that Europeans used to believe that sheep grew from Mongolian trees? Have you heard about the misbegotten discovery of a new form of water in the 1960s that set off a cold war arms race? Ever seen the gleaming Las Vegas hotel that accidentally shoots heat rays at poolside guests? The Constant is an audio history of getting things wrong. From ancient science to contemporary blunders, we take you on journeys of misadventure and misapprehension, filling your brain with juicy nuggets of the sometimes comical, sometimes tragical and always fascinating ways people mess things up.

Ich lerne italienisch - macht doch mit! Selbst Jovanotti macht in seinen Songtexten nach eigenen Aussagen massenweise Fehler... dann sollten wir uns als Nichtmuttersprachler doch mal ganz locker machen und die ganze Sache etwas entspannter angehen, was meint Ihr? Auf der Homepage findet Ihr in den "Spuntini" regelmässig ein PDF mit dem aktuellen Wortschatz, eine mp3-Datei als Vokabeltrainer und verschiedene Tipps zum Italienisch lernen und rund um die Sendung.

The SpecialJoin Now to Follow
<p>From artists to architects, musicians to entrepreneurs, its places and its spaces and most of all, its food. That’s what makes a city 'special.’ Hosted by Minya Oh, a.k.a. “Miss Info,” we’re checking out six American cities to find out what gives them their unique flavor. In each episode, we’ll be guided by a local restaurateur, culminating with the special — a dish that is the manifestation of the city on a plate. BMW’s first ever X7 inspired “The Special,” by bringing together a new collaboration between two expert storytellers — The New York Times’s T Brand Studio and The Infatuation. Together, we examine culture and food in a way that only we can. Sponsored by BMW.</p>
