Len Fisher on Radio & TV
My approach to presenting science on radio and TV is to mix humour and anecdote with the serious science. Below is a list of my recent radio and TV credits, with further detail appended for those accompanied by an asterisk.

You can browse my radio and TV broadcasts by type of show or in chronological order.

I am always happy to consider proposals for using radio and TV to bring science to a wider audience. Contact me.
