Like I said, Night Waves, with economists. Matthew Sweet rounded up a handful of clever and slightly unorthodox economists to talk about, you know, the economy. Very entertaining and just the kind of clever, spontaneous (and only slightly po-faced) thing you can do quite late in the evening on Radio 3 (MP3).
I should really save some of this for the archive but I just can't. It's too good. In this entry and the subsequent two you'll hear a sequence of three factual programmes, all from one evening on Radio 4 (last night, in fact), that I guarantee will leave you speechless. A classier, more interesting and provocative factual line-up you'll not find anywhere in the English speaking world. So, to start with, here's Will Hutton's revisionist view of nationalisation in post-war Europe, complete with a cast of contributors you'd normally only find in one place at, say, Davos. Fascinating (MP3).
bookmarks by: delicious.comA blog of Radio 4. Not about Radio 4 but of it. We point to the bits we like, the bits you might have missed, the bits that someone might have sneakily recorded. Other speech radio from around the world will no doubt find its way here too.
Of course, one day this might turn into something else, maybe a new way of curating speech radio, or maybe it won’t.
Your hosts on this not very wild ride are Steve Bowbrick, Russell Davies, Dan Hill, Bobbie Johnson and James Bridle. Drop us a line with your thoughts, unless you wish to complain about continuity announcers and their accents.
