"On the ground"
Thu, 16 Jul 2009 14:31:07 +0100
Turn on Radio 4 for just ten minutes and you will hear the phrase "on
the ground". It can always be removed without changing the meaning of
what is said. It is annoying at the best of times but when helicopters
are being discussed it is really, really stupid.

Thoughts for the Way Ahead
Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:35:46 -0700 (PDT)
So, 'Thought For The Day' is rumoured to be
undergoing an SMA-style makeunder on the
theological front. That stalwart carbuncle of
current affairs coverage, digest and comment
magazine 'Today' is to broaden its appeal.
As, by appointment, it is a media channel for
the Anglican Communion - and by the magic
of ...

Any comments on this?
Seemed to have potential, but there was something lacking. So many of
the sketches seemed to just stop, without a proper punchline.

6.30 Slot, about four years ago. Two women. One did a character of a
young man with a timid, wavering, hardly broken voice called Kevin (I think)
Anyone remember? ...

The spirit of John Peel lives
Sun, 5 Jul 2009 21:51:00 +0100
I couldn't help thinking of him and his love for odd names for groups,
and purple prose describing them, when I read this
There are plenty of other names - like Freq Nasty, Scratch Perverts and
Perhaps Contraption (who've been described as "seriously high grade,
tetrahedron-shaped, hard-boiled bendy pronk", i ...

BBC Radio archive research
Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:05:54 +0100
I can't seem to find out how to contact the BBC sound archive for
research purposes; the librarian unhelpfully told me to "do a Google
search", but while there is an extensive archive section on the BBC
website http://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/ I don't see any actual useful
contact details there, only a handful of pre ...

talk about Iris Murdoch?

Did the Nazis pick on Jews Because They Were the Weakest, most
Humble, Peaceful People they could find?
Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:34:35 -0700 (PDT)
Why did the Germans target Jews? The Germans didn't kick out the
Chinese after all. Common myth is that the Nazis picked on the
weakest, most humble people they could find. Being their own country,
didn't Germans have a small say in which guests they welcome or not?
What's the other side of the story?
