Hello, I'm Robin Ince.
And I'm Brian Cox.
And we would like to tell you about the new series of the Infinite Monkey Cage.
We're going to have a planet off Jupiter versus Scepter.
It's very well done that, because in the script it does say wrestling voice.
After all of that, it's going to kind of chill out a bit and talk about ice.
And also in this series we're discussing history,
music recording with Brian Eno and looking at nature shapes.
So listen wherever you get your podcasts.
