Hello and welcome to the x-change - the highlights show from the British Science Festival.

The British Science Festival is organised by the British Science Association and will be running from 10th - 15th September 2011 in and around Bradford. The x-change is run by a team of dedicated volunteers who spend each day selecting the best speakers from all corners of the British Science Festival and bring them together for the x-change; a fun, fast run-through of the best, funniest, most controversial and most interesting speakers from the day.

We can't tell you much more about it... yet... as the programme is built on the fly by our team but it's sure to contain some of the most fascinating science from the British Science Festival together with some big names and a few surprises too...

This year is our first attempt at podcasting the x-change so subscribe and catch up with the x-change. For all the back-stage gossip, follow us on Twitter - @thexchangeteam
