The pleasure of the Postcard

Quick..! Only 7 days to listen again.

Sarah Cuddon explores the pleasure of the postcard. With reference to authors, such as the Chilean novelist Robert Bolano, composers including Edward Elgar and poets (among them, Charles Simic) who have found inspiration and comfort in the writing, drawing and sending of cards, she celebrates a rare medium.
And we hear the story and the correspondence of two friends, Laura Eades and Retta Bowen, who dedicated themselves to writing a postcard to each other every day for a month.

Jesus & Mo - No Offence

Jesus & Mo have been in the news again lately.

This from the Author:

If you haven’t heard about the spot of bother that the University College London’s Atheist, Secularist and Humanist Society is having with the Student’s Union over a J&M image they used on their FaceBook page, you can read about it here. There is also a petition you can sign.
There is a great deal to say about this subject, but I just want to express my admiration and gratitude to the students of UCLASHS for standing firm on this issue, and for doing so for all the right reasons. You are an example to us all.
If you feel so inclined, no doubt you'll show your support for freedom of expression.

You might want to buy a Jesus & Mo greeting card.

Or you might just enjoy the Jesus & Mo latest offering:
