Pauline Black - Living Legend

Listening to Ms. Black’s fluid, melodious and confident voice espousing the cause of black and bi-racial women, and recalling the monstrosity of 60s and 70s politics / racism was a tonic.

Can the study of this women be added to the national curriculum, please?

Wonderful interview, Ade.

Bri Nylon

Listened to the legend that is Tony Visconti, it was excellent. For a man who has done so much he sounds so normal and I mean that in a good way.
Anna Maxwell Martin, also excellent and that led me to watch the drama A Spy Among Friends on ITV , brilliant .
Thank you

Miscellany ,

Oh boy

Time for another host I think. Ade is dire.
