Excellent talk, as usual, thank you for your insight. You’re a treasure ❤

The Nap Bishop 🙏🏾❤️!

pretty sure he's talking about Chelsfield station.

Stewart Lee! Stewart Lee! Stewart Lee! Stewart Lee! Stewart Lee! Stewart Lee! Stewart Lee! Stewart Lee! Stewart Lee!

I've read all his books and prefer the travel books to his fiction but Burma Sahib is one of his finest novels for a long time.Highly enjoyable and highly recommended.

She is a breath of fresh air and very articulate .She needs to brush up on her appreciation of Bruckner though!

The coke stare. I know it very well. A supçon of Bolivian powder mixes well in a diet of skag. Anyways, Lawzza is one of the greats. There is no doubt about it. More power to him. Everything he did was akways pure class...

You could throw in Lady Susan there as well-very different from all the others!

What about Catherine? Did I miss a mention of Northanger Abbey?

Wonderful book

I spent a few months in a recoding studio with Lawrence in the early 90s. He's a smashing fella and a gentle soul.

I have spent many happy hours walking and listening to one of his many journeys on audiobooks-writing longhand is something I can relate to. Listening to such a well-read author is a wonderful way to learn more about the many dimensions of this incredible world in which we live.

Is there an equivalent lecture on Austen's heroes and villains. I want to know if Mullens hates Edmund Bertram as much as I do - he's certainly not blind to what a fool he can be at times. Mullen admits he enjoys Austen's monsters too as a reader so it would be great to hear him talk about them.

I love JC’s novels - I feel sure they’ll endure. Despite France’s characterisation as a country of ideas and liberalism, they came much closer than the UK to electing a far-right government recently. Whatever the faults with our system we don’t seem to fall into the worrying extremes that other European countries do…yet!

Sally is just the best. We need her in the states more often.

Loved this segment**

YES, YES, REST!!!!❤

Fanny is an introvert , because of aunt Norris and her repressed treatment in general , she became shy and timid . It’s too bad even today the world in general don’t understand introverts . ( speaking from experience)

“You” are not a set of neurons firing. “You” are the awareness of it.

The Book of Trespass was an amazing read.

She has a really sexy voice!

Listening to Jeremy Paxman is so thoroughly uninspiring and dismal, it's enough to push anybody into a suicidal stupor or a coma. I think that Tom Hodgkinson managed him well. He is bored of life and boring. Thoroughly miserable interview- Why does anybody bother interviewing Jeremy Paxman? A dentist's waiting room is more entertaining, enthralling, imaginative and life-affirming.

Interesting what he says about Jordan Peterson. I hadn't considered that he was coming from a sort of Puritanical, over-serious bent, but in fact that makes perfect sense. He does.

This resonates with some of the things that Osho was trying to say about how the environmental movement is only superficially different than the destruction it is trying to address, given that in its approach to addressing the issue, the focus is always still on a FUTURE perfect state, rather than anything in the PRESENT- And, I suppose, ceasing endless frenetic activity.. Perhaps.

Thanks 😊

I always thought it funny that here in the US we say “Merry” Christmas, while in Britain you say “Happy”. It seems like it should be the reverse.

150 meaningful relationships!? Cor blimey, I can hardly cope with a dozen! 😃

That interview er is annoying

Britain would be a much friendlier place if everyone were more like David Bramwell.

Georgia is the best ambassdor for Radio 3 ever. She is a warm, funny and talented presenter whose pasion for the music is infectious and draws you in. She also loves Greggs ice buns I believe which I doubt is a claim previous too posh presenters on Radio 3 would ever have confessed too. Keep on the good work Georgia!

Thank you for this, I really enjoyed it.

Love this a people's history

ΑΝΑΞΙΜΑΝΔΡΟΣ ΠΡΑΞΙΑΔΟΥ ΜΙΛΗΣΙΟΣ, "ΑΡΧΗΝ ΤΩΝ ΟΝΤΩΝ ΤΟ ΑΠΕΙΡΟΝ". Professor Rovelli you are far more than a Teacher. A Greek friend, Demetrios Maniates

She is so pure and precious!

Wish this was a longer talk.

Sally Phillips ❤

Louis’ dad

Good point about remembering how people communicated and spoke from that era. They were treasures among us.

Comparing Kraftwerk and drum machines to AI creating 100% of the art and music for humans...talk about false equivalence. I usually enjoy Youth's input but he's completely delusional here in his comparisons. Also I think there should be lawsuits for people putting out videos mimicing other people's voices using AI, which is already rampant online.

Brillant

Lucy Cook is off her rocker. SMH

This was such a great event hosted by Tom and Victoria - love Tricia!

Let’s say I’m traumatized by capitalism vs. burnout!!! That’s a whole word…

I think the true heroine of Mansfield Park is Susan Price. Her sense of what is right intuitively and the future of Mansfield Park. She will save Tom Bertram. Prewitt-Brown's essay on Emma is superb,

England was Merry because it was Catholic

A upper middle class man who used a working class man to preform a social experiment, wow how original

What went wrong in England was that the Church had become extremely rich and a brain-damaged king let his greed get away with him and found he could surf a reforming tide in religion to outflank the church's refusal to allow him a divorce. That led to an orgy of looting in which the king was able to divide up the wealth contributed by the people with his upper and middle class friends. At the end the church was poor and puritanical and had to go back to taxing the parishioners.
