Electrified monks and scared frogs

For this week's Times podcast we thought you might enjoy hearing from a regular guest on the Story; Tom Whipple. In his new podcast, Tom explores the stories behind great scientific discoveries. We've brought two of them together, one of electric current and a second on the capacity of muscles for a helping of double science.

If you'd like to hear more of Tom's series - all ten episodes are available in the Making Science feed.
