In Particular was a podcast about physics, and about the process of discovering physics at the high-energy frontier.

It was recorded at CERN in 2015 and 2016, in the months around the restart of the Large Hadron Collider — a stretch of time when the machine was reaching energies no experiment had ever reached, and nobody yet knew what would be in the data. We pointed a microphone at our colleagues and asked them what they hoped for.

We’re on an indefinite hiatus to focus on other things. This archive is revived, and it isn’t going anywhere.
