ABC science broadcaster Robyn Williams has always wanted to excite listeners with tales of discovery about the natural world. He has less interest in presenting a shopping list of facts and research papers which could quickly bore listeners of Radio National’s The Science Show.
“Networks and relationships are the essence of great science, and great other stuff as well,” Williams tells Guardian Australia on the eve of the 50th anniversary of the program. “It’s about trying to get listeners to realise that there is not only something that changes their world for the better, but that it can be an exciting journey of discovery, and sometimes a funny one.”
