Night Waves: Timothy Garton Ash
July 10th, 2009 by James BridleAn excellent and engrossing discussion between Night Waves presenter Philip Dodd and historian and journalist Timothy Garton Ash, ranging across Communist Eastern Europe, the fall of the Berlin Wall, Orwell, Greene, the soixante-retards, the USA and the Bush administration, and England's place in Europe.
I feel sort of blessed that this level of intellectual discussion is available free to air, just coming out of my radio when I switch it on... [MP3]
Late Night Live: Arthur C. Clarke
April 17th, 2008 by Dan HillI'm a little late with this, but things pertaining to Sir Arthur C. Clarke tend to have a timeless quality. Just after his recent death, ABC Radio National's Late Night Live show re-broadcast an interview with Clarke from 2001. It's a gentle listen, as host Philip Adams carefully and respectfully coaxes memories out of Clarke - on such matters as working with Stanley Kubrick, science and religion, marriage, writing, pondering death and satellites, and so on. We also discover that 2001 is one of the Pope's favourite movies. All of this quietly and humbly revealed in Clarke's warm Somerset burr, still detectable over a crackly line from Sri Lanka to Sydney.
