<p>In this Episode of Oxford LIves we talk to writer, tour guide and wine aficionado, Marcus Rees. In a packed interview, we cover Marcus's student days at Jesus college, his early trips to French vineyards, and discuss his latest book <em>Oxfordshire Uncorked - A guide to the vineyards of Oxfordshire and North Cotswolds. </em>As well as giving us a whirlwind tutorial in how to develop one's palate, Marcus explains how climate change is creating an environment more conducive to wine making in the UK. A fascinating listen.</p>

Oxford Lives - Episode 57 with Dr Jim Holt

Oxford is a wonderful city in which to live, and If you have the good fortune to call yourself a resident you are probably here because you value its incredible mix of people and cultures. However, whether local or visitor, your own personal network of friends and colleagues can only touch a small proportion of the fascinating people who call this place home.
We set up this podcast to seek out some of the individuals that we find interesting and explore their lives and stories. They are not all celebrated or well-known, but what they do and what they think add another dimension to the familiar narrative of town, gown and tourism. Hopefully you will find it an insight and an introduction to interesting and unfamiliar parts of our community. 
So, relax and select someone from the cast below and get to know a bit more about a particular Oxford life.
With Jeremy Allen
Produced by Graeme Fry

As a compliment to our podcast we have produced a self-guided tour where we look at Oxford's links to fantasy literature and the many writers who have lived and worked here. So if you find yourself in Oxford prepare to be whisked away to other worlds full of Hobbits, Orcs and parallel universes!
