The first one - the Jura one - was fascinating. Mostly about Orwell's time on Jura at Barnhill. It brought back some memories.
The above link is about the Ascent of Bienn an Oir in 2001 - maybe your customary drollness HD :)
Have just listened to the Jura episode and as you say it is a fascinating insight into George Orwell's life at Barnhill. I didn't know the inspiration for his novel 1984 came from his time there.
