Perhaps Radio 3 which I've never listened to is the sort of channel that the Home Service used to be, and if I'd listened to it I would know!Snatch51https://www.blogger.com/profile/10892372914963273478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-20940403709655461672011-08-22T20:09:04.683+01:002011-08-22T20:09:04.683+01:00Mmmm.

I don't listen to much radio either, but I think Mark Lawson, for instance, tends to dumb things down a little. However, I've heard some really good interviews that Philip Dodd - an English teacher of mine from way back in his days at Leicester University before he got his doctorate - has given on Radio 3.

A magazine interview, possibly; but on the air...well, the producers would simply say "Come on you guys, cut to the chase! Give us some sex or scandal, or move over to the next item!"Snatch51https://www.blogger.com/profile/10892372914963273478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-33292966798467211192011-08-16T19:18:44.051+01:002011-08-16T19:18:44.051+01:00Pleased to oblige!<b>Pleased to oblige!</b>Dr Tony Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565448709541046337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-86939569665265469192011-08-16T17:57:47.782+01:002011-08-16T17:57:47.782+01:00Thanks, you've just cost me another tenner in ...Thanks, you've just cost me another tenner in book purchases!The Plashing Volehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021407602157515927noreply@blogger.com
