Dr Gloria Moss is a former academic who went down the rabbit hole. The author of eight books including Why Men Like Straight Lines and Women Like Polka Dots, she has explored topics as diverse as Chretien de Troyes and the Holy Grail (her undergraduate degree was in French and Medieval Studies), the Dead Sea Scrolls site at Qumran, the real purpose of the Great Fire of London and the Gunpowder Plot. Unfortunately, for this first podcast with her, James didn’t get her onto any of these subjects because he was too interested in what she was telling him about her time working for blue chip industry on how to optimise productivity in the workplace. Next time, eh? You can find her at

Also, Gloria talks about how Robert Maxwell captured academic publishing and invented the corrupt process known as ‘peer review’.
