I really want to believe that sexist attitudes towards women in India will change. But as a product of that patriarchal society myself, I know only too well how deeply those attitudes are ingrained. It will be a struggle.
This is Orwell’s own radio adaptation. It’s bloody amazing. Sent shivers down my spine.
Still love New Order almost 20 years after I first discovered them. Interesting to hear Peter Hook looking back on Madchester and the old days.
If I listen to the radio, it’s generally Radio 4. But I’ve been listening to Radio 2, due to it being left on for my in-laws’ budgie, and I’ve liked some of it. So I had it on in the car on Wednesday night and I listened to Mike Harding’s show. I loved it! I wouldn’t have expected that I’d like folk, roots and acoustic but apparently I do. I listened to some of The Radcliffe and Maconie Show afterwards which I also enjoyed. It was good to hear Noddy Holder on the radio, if only to hear a Wolves accent on the wireless. Decent music too.
I really like Richard Herring. This episode moved me to request that Mr W sport a Hitler moustache. He declined.
I just listened to it and loved it. This episode at least reminds of my childhood in Wolverhampton. I look forward to reading the book:
Just William: Pursuin’ Happiness, The Revenge. Love Just William as a kid, still do now.
Woman’s Hour: Choosing to be Childfree and the subsequent phone-in.
I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue. We went to watch the recording of this and last week’s programmes at Cambridge Corn Exchange.
