The very first episode in a coming series on the history of phage therapy and research. To make sure all future listeners are on an equal footing, I thought it was a good idea to introduce the very basics of bacteriophage biology. Give this a listen not only for a quick biology crash course but for a fun bit of etymology and an extremely forced IKEA metaphor!

Stay tuned for the future episodes in which we will get to grips with the history side of things!
