## Resource

Today we are talking about Tycho Brahe, a brilliant 16th century Danish astronomer - but also a bit of a kook. We are joined by Claire Hooper who is heading to Edinburgh this week, go see her show and say hi for us! This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 17:25 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
