Did anyone catch the Tintin documentary? [Update: yes!]

I’m looking for help, and perhaps we have enough friends out there now that a lazyweb request has a chance of working.

Last Saturday, there was a repeat of a documentary about Tintin which I think had been on before, some months ago. Some time this morning the stream seems to have been replaced by this week’s programme in the same slot, “The Nun Who Nurtured Reggae“, despite being accessed by a URL ending with “radio4/tintin_journalism“. Presumably it redirects to some underlying stream which is reused. It’s annoying, in any case.

Did anyone happen to record it when it was on?

Update: Jem points out in a comment that it’s this week’s entry on the Radio 4 Choice podcast. Wonderful! (And how did I miss that? Another podcast I need to which I must subscribe).

Presenter: Mark Lawson
Listen: [MP3]

    Radio 4 do this fairly random “choice” podcast which scoops up docs from previous weeks and makes em available as a podcast sometimes a few weeks after broadcast. (a bit like speechification but less regular!).

    although it is worth saying that the nun documentary was another stunning piece of radio - hearing the drummer (sorry did not catch the name) talking about the nun was like poetry. The presenter did such a well judged job of introducing it. JB
