The Ideas List - 1. Mondex - BBC Sounds Claudia Hammond revisits a bold experiment in digital cash, launched in Swindon

My new series started @BBCRadio4 today. 30 years ago I made a list of science ideas for an interview as BBC trainee science producer. Found the list in my pile of paper to recycle in the printer. So I followed up the ideas. 30 years late, but shows no idea is wasted. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Ooh thank you. That’s lovely to hear!
