  • Joe Boyd discusses his memoir, White Bicycles:Making Music in the 1960s and his literary journey through global music, And the Roots of Rhythm Remain.
    Nov 8 2024

    Joe Boyd is a man about music, record producer, a film producer and author.

    He arrived in London in 1964 with Muddy Waters and a host of blues musicians who played to sold out UK audiences when they were unappreciated in their US homeland.

    In this conversation he talks about Nick Drake, Paul Simon, The Incredible String Band, Paul Butterfield, MIke Bloomfield and the enduring power of real music.

    A thought provoking podcast.

  • Tariq Ali - The Clash of Fundamentalisms : Christianity, Islam and Capitalism
    Oct 30 2024

    The effect of the American reverberates around the globe. There seems to be perceived electoral advantage in fanning hate and intolerance.

    The wars in the Middle East and Ukraine continue.

    Why is this? Is there any cause for optimism? Where do non rational beliefs and convictions fit in the conflicts?

    This conversation with the activist and thinker Tariq Ali was recorded soon after the outrage of 9/11.

    There is a plan for the future in what Tariq was saying but I wonder if he is as optimistic today. Will rational thought and reasoned discussion bring peaceful coexistence?

  • Catherine Nixey - Heresy : Jesus Christ and other sons of God
    Oct 24 2024

    This new book is terrific - its a revelation.

    Catherine has studied texts written around the same time as the writings we know as the gospels.

    Some of these ancient documents tell the story of the bible characters we are familiar with in a totally different way.

    Listen to Catherine talk about her research and you will be surprised ..... probably very surprised!!

    My favourite book of the year. Every time I see a politician leaning in a faith direction I want to urge them to read this book!
