Woman's Hour - isn't it brilliant? If you've not listened to Woman's Hour then you should. Make time. No one is *that* busy. It is worth the effort. I've really no idea why they don't podcast it: possibly its because they think their target audience will be available to tune-in mid morning weekdays between coffee mornings and knitting lessons an' that. In any other situation, that'd be considered sexist - but not for the producers of Woman's Hour - Woman's Hour thinks "pah - we're above all this 'everyone is equal nonsense'" - thats how 'on the edge/against The Man' it is. Brilliant!
I did of course today catch the omnibus edition - my drive down to London from the north east and the inevitable rage against IT sales audi drivers tempered by the best bits from last week.
In a previous job I used to arrange meetings so I could be in the car when it was on.
Normally its only Mr Radcliffe, or very good friends, that makes me buy impromtu iTunes purchases - but now my beautiful, but sleepy, girlfriend is the proud owner of a Liz Cook country classic - (partly because I may have forgotten this is not my laptop).
What other radio programme can have a bloke, who has driven 270 miles, carried a load of luggage up 6 flights of stairs, then traveled across London on the tube, got slightly lost, and rocked up in a pub to say - 'do you know what, I fancy a pint...and by the way you should read a book by Simone de Beauvoir called 'The Second Sex' as it sounds incredibly inspiring and well worth a read*'.
And I really wanted this blog to be about getting my tooth out, which knacked a lot afterwards, but was very well done and I can recommend Park Lane dentists: although sadly, I did not get 50p despite the tooth being under the pillow all night.
Still, Woman's Hour - mint.
* actually I could neither remember the author, or the title - which in all fairness is very detaily - but I did remember the quote (skinch on the detail as a quote is not 'detail') - "One is not born a woman, one becomes one", which even though I'm not a woman, I could understand as a profound and inspiring statement - and as the father of two daughters one that I think would be useful to keep in the back pocket. |
