Contagion on the airwaves: Samba, strings and the story of HIV

Last weekend, the BBC World Service’s resident numbers nerd Tim Harford dedicated a whole episode of the wonderful “More or Less” programme to Song of Contagion. On air, I heard a few bars of the show’s music for the first time, and got a bit overexcited.

You can also listen to the programme, and to a few bars of the HIV song, here: https://songofcontagion.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/lower_MoreOrLess_SambaStringsAndTheStoryOfHIV.mp3?_=1
