Benefit of Clergy: Some Notes on Salvador Dali

What did George Orwell, the spartan, no-nonsense socialist, make of the world’s most famous (and most egomaniacal) surrealist? Can we really separate the art from the artist? Does morality have anything to do with art? What does this eighty-year-old essay tell us about the modern culture of celebrity and social media? Listen to find out!

Bookshop Memories

Join us as we dust the dead bluebottle flies off the merchandise and throw open the doors of Booklover’s Corner, the shop where George Orwell worked part-time for about two years. We chat about weird customers, money and books and literary pretentions. We apologise for the quality of the sound; blame the G&T.

As I Please 33

Join us as we discuss the morality of bombing civilians during wartime. Was Orwell right in his opinion, or was he just making excuses in order to justify the dirty work that the Allies needed to do to defeat fascism? We also talk about Orwell’s view of advertising and the way it affects society. Are we all becoming walking adverts?
