About the Podcast

A Complete History of Science is a podcast that traces the story of scientific discovery from the ancient world to the present day. Hosted by Gethin Richards, the show explores how humanity came to understand the natural world — from the earliest Greek philosophers, through the Islamic Golden Age, to the transformative breakthroughs of the Scientific Revolution and beyond.

Each series focuses on a particular era or theme, exploring the lives, ideas, and contexts of the people who shaped our understanding of the universe.
