Niels Bohr Library & Archives
Initial Conditions
A Physics History Podcast
Initial conditions provide the context in which physics happens. Likewise, in Initial Conditions: a Physics History Podcast, we provide the context in which physical discoveries happened. We dive into the collections of the Niels Bohr Library & Archives at the American Institute of Physics to uncover the unexpected stories behind the physics we know. Through these stories, we hope to challenge the conventional history of what it means to be a physicist.

When a friend suggested this I was skeptical but it turns out I love physics history! The writing is great and I’m even learning a little bit about physics. A great addition to my podcast line up!
