SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b07flbsd (Listen) SAT Negroland, Episode 5 SAT SAT The writer and critic Margo Jefferson was born in 1947, the SAT daughter of a paediatrician and a fashionable socialite, and SAT grew up surrounded by the comforts of a well off family who SAT were part of Chicago's black elite. This is the world she SAT terms, 'Negroland' - 'I call it Negroland because I still SAT find 'Negro' a word of wonders, glorious and terrible. ... SAT because I lived with its meanings and intimations for so SAT long.' SAT SAT In the 1960s, as the Black Power movement in America gained SAT momentum, the young Margo Jefferson had to find a way of SAT resolving the internal conflicts arising from being educated SAT to be better than the white people who occupied positions of SAT power. Growing up with the advantages of class and money had SAT somehow resulted in 'an excess of white-derived manners and SAT interests'. Negotiating rules, entitlements and prejudices SAT made it increasingly difficult to find her place and her SAT self in the fractured world around her.

The resulting piece, neither Oratorio nor SAT Cantata, has remained a favourite in this country for over a SAT century in spite of a disastrous first performance. SAT When Novello's eventually decided to print the orchestral SAT score Elgar presented his handwritten manuscript, which had SAT been used to conduct the work for two years, to Cardinal SAT Newman's library at the Birmingham Oratory. SAT SAT Frances Fyfield and her guests, the internationally SAT acclaimed Mezzo-Soprano and singer of the role of the Angel, SAT Sarah Connolly, the choral conductor and head of music at SAT Gloucester Cathedral, Adrian Partington and the music SAT scholar and conductor Nigel Simeone make the pilgrimage to SAT Birmingham to see this extraordinary work which Elgar SAT himself declared in the score was 'the best of me'. SAT SAT As ever the musician's eye is drawn to the details, the SAT nuances, the refinements in the composer's own hand, and SAT they're not disappointed. Although the famous conductor Hans SAT Richter used the score to conduct the work in Birmingham and SAT elsewhere, Elgar's neat markings mean there's little more SAT than the composer's hand on display. SAT There are, however, tell-tale additions by Elgar's publisher SAT August Jaeger (The Nimrod of the Enigma Variations) and just SAT occasionally Richter does call upon the chorus and orchestra SAT not to rush. SAT SAT The setting of Cardinal Newman's Library, the sheer beauty SAT and complexity of the music and the sense of a composer SAT working at the very peak of his powers make this a SAT compelling manuscript with a moving response from the SAT musicians lucky enough to see it.

SAT SAT Gillian's love affair with the medium started when she was a SAT child growing up in pre-war Liverpool. The first real SAT characters to make an impact on her were those legendary SAT Second World War voices like Lord Haw-Haw, Nazi propagandist SAT William Joyce, Mrs Mopp, from Tommy Handley's madcap wartime SAT show ITMA, and Band Waggon star Arthur Askey. SAT SAT But in a lifetime of listening and reviewing, initially for SAT the Guardian but for four decades at the Daily Telegraph, SAT Gillian Reynolds has always kept pace with what's new on the SAT broadcasting block - from the advent of commercial radio in SAT the 1970s, the BBC Gulf War station cobbled together at SAT short notice (popularly known as 'Scud FM') which inspired SAT Radio 5Live, or the latest American podcast sensations that SAT have been making recent headlines for audio. SAT SAT Gillian spices her show with brand new interviews with a SAT handful of her contemporaries, heroes and friends. Sue SAT MacGregor (of The Reunion, Today, Woman's Hour and The World SAT at One), Dame Jenny Abramsky (who retired as BBC Director of SAT Radio in 2008), Nick Pollard (Gillian's colleague at SAT commercial Radio City, and later a senior figure at ITN and SAT Sky News) and Jimmy Gordon (who founded Clyde FM) join SAT Gillian to capture the seismic changes in radio during her SAT lifetime and its unquenchable, irresistible appeal even in SAT the clamorous age of Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b07fg6ty (Listen) SAT Assisted Dying SAT SAT Every year thousands of terminally ill patients are being SAT helped to die by their doctors, according to Baroness Molly SAT Meacher, the new chairwoman of Dignity in Dying. She claims SAT doctors are prepared to risk their own freedom rather than SAT see their patients continue to suffer unbearably. Her SAT assertion comes as the British Medical Association next week SAT prepares to discuss the results of its 18 month long survey SAT in to the public and medical professionals' attitudes on SAT end-of-life care and physician-assisted dying. For 26 years SAT now this programme has charted the moral and ethical life of SAT the nation and this subject, above all others, has been the SAT one we've returned to most often. And little wonder as it's SAT an issue that combines moral dilemma, religious principle, SAT human compassion and fear in equal measure. As a prelude to SAT the BMA debate, this week we're going to invite back SAT witnesses who've appeared on our programme over the years to SAT explore how the debate has developed over time. In 1991 we SAT started out discussing the morality of suicide manuals. SAT Advances in medical technology since then have transformed SAT our expectations of what we demand from life. We've seen a SAT growth of the "me generation" that prizes and demands SAT individual choice and rights above collective SAT responsibility. While as a society we have increasingly SAT recognised the rights of disabled people, there is also SAT growing support for legalising assisted suicide, which may SAT give comfort to some, but could put many more vulnerable SAT people at risk. And there has also been our changing SAT relationship with religion. The moral maze that is the SAT debate on assisted dying, live at 8pm Wednesday. Chaired by SAT Michael Buerk with Mona Siddiqui, Anne McElvoy, Giles Fraser SAT and Claire Fox. Witnesses are Dr Michael Irwin, Lesley SAT Close, Dr Kevin Yuill and Prof David Cook. SAT SAT 23:00 The 3rd Degree b07ffd8g (Listen) SAT Series 6, The University of Bath SAT SAT A funny and dynamic quiz show hosted by Steve Punt - this SAT week from the University of Bath, with specialist subjects SAT including Biology, Politics and Maths, and questions ranging SAT from Sierpinski Gaskets to Scottish Nationalism via Francois SAT Mitterand and Adele. SAT SAT The programme is recorded on location at a different SAT University each week, and it pits three Undergraduates SAT against three of their Professors in an original and fresh SAT take on an academic quiz. SAT SAT The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General SAT Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the Highbrow SAT and Lowbrow round cunningly devised to test not only the SAT students' knowledge of current affairs, history, languages SAT and science, but also their Professors' awareness of SAT television, sport, and quite possibly Justin Bieber. In SAT addition, the Head-to-Head rounds see students take on their SAT Professors in their own subjects, offering plenty of scope SAT for mild embarrassment on both sides. SAT SAT Other Universities featured in this series include SAT Gloucestershire, Chester, Birmingham City, Glasgow and York. SAT SAT Produced by David Tyler SAT A Pozzitive production for BBC Radio 4.

Adélia Prado has shunned the spotlight since her SAT discovery in 1976 - then a 40-year-old mother of five living SAT in the interior state of Minas Gerais. Now aged 80, her SAT sensual, devout, sometimes provocative poetry is read and SAT admired around the world. SAT SAT For this programme, in the company of her long-time SAT translator and fellow poet Ellen Doré Watson, she invites us SAT into her home to talk about her life and work. SAT SAT Adélia Prado was discovered by Brazil's foremost modern SAT poet, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, who launched her literary SAT career with the announcement that St Francis was dictating SAT verses to a housewife in the backwaters of the interior SAT state of Minas Gerais. She writes about the transcendent in SAT ordinary life, of how the human experience is both mystical SAT and carnal. She has been called one of the major voices of SAT the Americas, who 'would remind you of Emily Dickinson if SAT she didn't keep reminding you of Walt Whitman'.

SUN SUN We cast our gaze back to the Garden of Eden where Adam and SUN Eve were naked and harmonious, at ease with their identities SUN before the fall, and we explore the fallout that followed SUN the consumption of the forbidden fruit. SUN SUN Joanna argues that, in a culture of consumerism, the market SUN forces exploit our craving to create and recreate our images SUN of ourselves through fashion and other material goods. She SUN explains that "the noise of marketing strategies urge us; SUN drive, goad, beguile and coax us to build our identity in SUN the image of their narrow ideals of beauty, success and SUN happiness. And all the time it pulls us out of ourselves. We SUN are left feeling incomplete, inadequate, discontented, stuck SUN in a cycle of exhausting comparisons. It diminishes us." SUN SUN Joanna contrasts this situation with the lives of a group of SUN contemplative nuns with whom she spent time when she was 21. SUN She reveals that living with the nuns taught her to "come SUN home to herself" and to learn the true meaning of the saying SUN "beauty comes from within".

His first SUN role was as the Mayor in Gogol's, 'The Government SUN Inspector'. SUN SUN He was a member of the National Youth Theatre where he SUN appeared with Helen Mirren and went on to study at the Royal SUN Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.

SUN SUN 13:30 The Plastic Revolution: 50 Years of the Credit Card SUN b07gcxd1 (Listen) SUN The remarkable story of how a six page document and an SUN investment of just £20,000 became the first steps on a road SUN that changed British society forever. SUN SUN In 1966, the UK saw the introduction of the credit card, and SUN customers could start to buy with money they had yet to SUN earn. This idea would gather momentum and not just sweep SUN away post-war austerity, but help create a culture that has SUN led to UK average credit card and loan debt standing at over SUN 25% of income. SUN SUN In the autumn of 1965, Derek Wilde of Barclays came back SUN from California, having licensed the rights to use Bank Of SUN America's credit card software for a trifling £20,000. He SUN sold the concept of a credit card to his board with just a SUN six page document, and claimed he could introduce the card SUN in six months. This audacious idea had no business plan or SUN market research. They didn't pilot the scheme, and didn't SUN even have a computer capable of handling the business. SUN SUN At first, everyone else hated the idea. The retailers didn't SUN want the bother, consumers complained about being sent cards SUN they didn't want, and the branch bank managers certainly SUN didn't like it as decisions about who was allowed to have a SUN card and how much credit they were to be given were taken at SUN the Barclaycard HQ in Northampton. SUN SUN Instead of an army of risk averse branch managers, a SUN centralised decision making process became subject to SUN pressures to increase profits - leading to an ever greater SUN need to lend. SUN SUN Interviewees include Amer Sajed, the CEO of Barclaycard, and SUN Joanna Elson of the Money Advice Trust charity. SUN SUN Presenter: Kamal Ahmed, BBC Business Editor.

SUN SUN Matt Biggs finds out how snails can help trace our neolithic SUN ancestors, and how a rare crop of lichen has given SUN archaeologists at Stonehenge yet another puzzle to solve. SUN SUN Produced by Hannah Newton SUN Assistant Producer: Laurence Bassett SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Factsheet SUN Q. I removed the seed from a double-headed marigold but they SUN have not germinated. Why would this be? SUN SUN A. Anne – It is probably the Vanilla variety. The seed may SUN not have been ripe and should have been a dark-brown colour. SUN You need to make sure they are stored in a cool and dry SUN position. SUN SUN Pippa – You should leave the seed head on the plant for as SUN long as possible before collecting. SUN SUN Matt – You will find them easier to germinate if you use a SUN propagator and keep the compost moist. SUN Q. My blackthorn bushes have been growing well, but this SUN year the berries are light green and elongated. What has SUN gone wrong? SUN SUN A. Pippa – This is a fungal infection caused by taphrina SUN pruni. It is also known as Pocket Plum, and they will SUN increase in size and turn white. If it has only affected a SUN small area then you can pick them off before they turn SUN white. SUN Q. I will shortly be moving to a rented property. Could the SUN panel suggest some plants that I could enjoy now and also SUN take with me. SUN SUN A. Anne – Blueberries need ericaceous soil so are often SUN grown in tubs and easy to move. They provide attractive SUN flowers, berries and autumn colour. SUN SUN Pippa – There are many vegetables that could be cropped SUN within a season. I would also plant shrubs for tubs and SUN under plant with bedding plants and bulbs for all round SUN colour. SUN Q. I would like to know whether a camomile lawn would SUN survive beneath the shade of a beech tree. SUN SUN A. Pippa – I think you will struggle because beech will SUN completely block out the light. There are very few species SUN that can grow underneath beech – bluebells, Paris SUN quadrifolia and wood anemones. SUN SUN Matt – You could create a camomile seat in a sunnier part of SUN the garden. It would be like a giant seed tray with SUN loam-based compost and the Treneague variety. SUN SUN Anne – I would also add urns full of the flowering variety SUN Anthemis puncata cupaniana with its silver foliage and SUN silver daisies. SUN Q. Could the panel suggest some plants that will grow on SUN chalk? SUN SUN SUN A. Anne – Clematis grow very well on chalk. Avoid all plants SUN that require a deep or acidic soil. Honeysuckles will do SUN well such as the upright, shrubby Twinberry. The tree SUN peonies and Persian lilac also do very well in chalk. SUN SUN Pippa – I have had a lot of success on chalky soils with SUN plants such as hellebores, sedum, sarcococca, cyclamen, SUN foxgloves, and Japanese anemone. Beech and hornbeam will do SUN well for hedging. SUN SUN Anne – Rockii tree peonies thrive in chalk gardens and look SUN very striking with their dark splodges on the white SUN flowers. SUN Q. The leaves on my ornamental peach tree have curled up and SUN developed red tinges. What has happened? SUN SUN A. – Pippa – This is a classic symptom of Peach leaf curl. SUN They develop a bloom like a fine white dusting. The leaves SUN will turn bright shades of purple, pink and red. You will SUN need to remove any leaves that are showing symptoms to SUN prevent the spores from being spread by the wind or rain. SUN You don’t want the spores to remain on the plant over SUN winter. You can also provide a shelter to prevent spores SUN from landing on it. SUN SUN Matt – Seaweed solution will help the tree to recover. SUN Q. Could the panel suggest some quick growing, scented SUN climbers for a pergola? SUN SUN A. Matt – the yellow Banksian rose would do well in a SUN sheltered site.

Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants.

But it’s not. SUN Places, places are still there. If a house burns down, it’s SUN gone, but the place - the picture of it - stays, and not SUN just in my rememory, but out there, in the world. What I SUN remember is a picture floating around out there outside my SUN head. I mean, even if I don’t think it, even if I die, the SUN picture of what I did, or knew, or saw is still out there. SUN Right in the place where it happened.” SUN SUN “Can other people see it?” asked Denver. SUN SUN “Oh yes. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Someday you be walking down SUN the road and you hear something or see something going on. SUN So clear. And you think it’s you thinking it up. A thought SUN picture. But no.

Because even though it’s SUN all over - over and done with - it’s going to always be SUN there waiting for you. That’s how come I had to get all my SUN children out. No matter what.” SUN SUN Denver picked at her fingernails. “If it’s still there, SUN waiting, that must mean that nothing ever dies.” SUN SUN Sethe looked right in Denver’s face. “Nothing ever does,” SUN she said.

Grace Dent follows him in the run up to England's MON match against France in May - will Brandon make the grade? MON MON It's been a long road for Brandon to get here.

MON MON 12:04 Dr Broks' Casebook b07gncn5 (Listen) MON The Man Who Thought He Was Dead MON MON Neuropsychologist Dr Paul Broks embarks on a detective hunt MON in search of the self. MON MON We all have a strong sense of the self, that little person, MON or "homunculus" that seems to live somewhere behind our MON eyes, and makes each of us feel that I am ME. In earlier MON times, people would have been happier with the word "soul". MON But they puzzled about how it survived the death of the MON body, and how we could know it was the same as the one we MON had when alive. MON MON Nowadays, under the onslaught of science, the self/soul MON seems more and more like a superstitious remnant. MON Neuroscientists tell us that there is nothing but the brain, MON and that even conscious decisions, made freely by the self, MON are in fact made appreciably earlier, even before the self MON is aware of them. The more you think about the self, the MON harder it becomes to pin down: are we nothing but our MON memories, and if so, what about people who lose their MON memory, or have false memories? Would we be happy to have MON our memories downloaded and uploaded into a different MON brain/body, and if not why not? How can we even know that we MON are the same person each morning when we wake up, given that MON our self has, in effect, been shut down for hours? Despite MON all this, we still believe in the self, but is there really MON anyone at home? MON MON Over the course of the week, Paul Broks a former clinical MON neuropsychologist, and producer Jolyon Jenkins, go on a MON quest for the self, using some of Dr Broks' former patients, MON interviews with experts and philosophical thought MON experiments. In the first programme, they consider a patient MON with Cotard's syndrome, in which the sufferer thinks he or MON she is dead. It might seem obviously false, but what makes MON us think we're alive? MON MON Presenter: Paul Broks MON Producer: Jolyon Jenkins. MON MON 12:15 You and Yours b07gcszh (Listen) MON Care home uncertainty, Term time holidays, Student sub-lets MON MON At a time of great uncertainty in the care home industry, we MON take a look at how it is financed and what are the MON implications for people who live in these homes and their MON families. HC-One - one of Britain's biggest providers - is MON currently looking for buyers for about 70 of its homes in an MON attempt to reduce its debt. Meanwhile the credit rating MON agency, Moody's, has issued warnings about two other private MON equity-owned care home chains, Four Seasons and Care UK. Is MON private equity the right way to fund adult care? MON MON Recently the High Court supported a father who'd taken his MON daughter to Florida during term time. He successfully argued MON that she still attended school regularly. Now some new MON research suggests one in five families is planning to take a MON break outside of school holidays. But does the High Court MON ruling really mean they can expect to escape the £120 fine? MON And what of claims that councils are deciding arbitrarily MON whether or not to pursue these cases in court? Find out MON before you book. MON MON And as university life winds down for the summer, we talk to MON a student who still has to pay for his room over the summer MON as his landlord insists on 50-week contracts. Is there any MON solution? And why you shouldn't be tempted to sub-let MON without permission, even if some companies might try to MON persuade you to do that.

MON MON With old certainties shifting around them, in a time of MON political and religious unrest and economic expansion, Neil MON asks what the plays would have meant to the public when they MON were first performed. He uses carefully selected objects to MON explore the great issues of the day that preoccupied the MON public and helped shape the works, and he considers what MON they can reveal about the concerns and beliefs of MON Shakespearean England. MON MON Programme 7. IRELAND: FAILURES IN THE PRESENT - A rare MON woodcut offers a equally rare visual impression of the MON troubles and tragedies of Elizabethan Ireland.

MON MON A Dangerous Image of Ireland MON Date: MON 1581 MON Size: MON H:205mm, W:320mm MON Made in: MON London MON Made by: MON John Derricke MON Material: MON Paper MON MON MON MON Why is it that Shakespeare gave us a Scottish play, and MON Scottish and Welsh characters in abundance, and yet in his MON entire works there is only one Irish character? MON MON MON MON The answer has much more to do with national politics than MON artistic inspiration. The war in Ireland was the great MON military crisis of the Elizabethan regime – almost resulting MON in failure for England – and as a result it was a topic MON prone to censorship. MON MON MON MON While we can glean a lot about the issues presented by MON Ireland from the many references in Shakespeare’s plays, MON this book, The Image of Ireland, published in 1581, perhaps MON allows us best to reconstruct what his audience might have MON known and thought about the Irish. MON MON And if you’re still wondering who the one Irish character MON is, then you’ll have to listen to the programme… MON MON MON MON This object is from MON Edinburgh University Library MON MON MON British Museum Blog: English perspectives on Ireland by MON Andrew Hadfield, University of Sussex MON MON Quotations MON 'Th'uncivil kerns of Ireland are in arms/And temper clay MON with blood of Englishmen;/ To Ireland will you lead a band MON of men .../And try your hap against the Irishmen?'

In this programme we follow artist Fiona MON Graham-Mackay and her latest subject - the poet and MON playwright Lemn Sissay - through this sometimes emotional MON process. MON MON "I feel like you've gone into me and looked out from behind MON my eyes." MON MON Lemn Sissay MBE was an official poet for the London Olympics MON and his Landmark Poems are installed throughout Manchester MON and London. Born to Ethiopian parents, he was raised in MON Lancashire by strongly religious foster parents who, having MON had biological children of their own, put him into care aged MON 12. They told him neither they, nor any of their family, MON would contact him again. MON MON On leaving care at 17, he self-published his first book of MON poetry while on the dole. Much of his work tells the story MON of his upbringing and search for his birth parents. MON MON Fiona Graham-Mackay has painted hundreds of portraits, MON including Seamus Heaney and Sir Andrew Motion. "It's in the MON space between sentences that people reveal themselves," she MON says. MON MON Recorded in Lemn's home and at the Foundling Museum in MON London, where Lemn is a fellow, the programme follows the MON portrait taking shape. It's an intimate experience, peeling MON away the layers to capture the essence of the sitter as seen MON through the artist's eye. And in this, conversations meander MON in unexpected places. MON MON Features a reading of "Suitcases and Muddy Parks" from Rebel MON Without Applause by Lemn Sissay, published by Canongate. MON Used with permission.

But is the MON expected announcement of Donald Trump as the Republican MON nominee next month about to shake things up? He is very MON different to the usual candidate that would appeal to the MON religious right.

His fame, established in TUE the Esterhazy Court in the Austro-Hungarian Empire had TUE travelled before him and once in the UK he was something of TUE a celebrity.

The fact that the handwritten TUE manuscript of the Drumroll Symphony, his 103rd and TUE penultimate, is in the hands of the British Library is due TUE to its journey by way of the French composer Luigi TUE Cherubini.

WED WED 21:00 Nature b07gg566 (Listen) WED Series 9, The Yoiker and the Landscape WED WED In the first of a new series of NATURE, sound recordist WED Chris Watson captures the remarkable chants of Andé Somby, a WED Sami yoiker. Yoiks are traditional Sami chants, which come WED from the earth and are largely inspired by natural world. WED When Andé invited sound recordist Chris Watson to record him WED yoiking near Kvalnes in the Lofoten Islands in Norway, Chris WED had no idea what an extraordinary and challenging experience WED this would be - not only to travel north of the Arctic WED Circle to record these ancient chants but also to gain an WED insight into the culture and beliefs of the Sami People. As WED a westerner he was about to step into a very different WED world. There are yoiks for people, animals and land. In the WED Sami tradition it's important for everyone to have a yoik; WED it's as important as being given a name, and for Andé, it's WED the Wolf yoik which has a special significance. For the WED recording of this and other yoiks, Andé led Chris up a very WED steep mountain to a small lake in a crater. Standing by the WED lake edge, surrounded by snow-capped mountains, the air is WED filled with most extraordinary sounds as Andé performs his WED yoiks. Yoiking is far more than just a performance, it is a WED much deeper connection with the earth; when a yoiker sings WED about an animal, for example, he believes he becomes that WED animal.

Today he considers out of body experiences, THU near death experiences, and "terminal ludicity" - are they THU evidence for a self separate from the body? THU THU Most of us have an intuitive sense that we are more than our THU body. Whether or not we believe in a soul, it's hard to THU believe that our first person experiences are no more than THU the electrical firing of neurons in our brains. Neuroscience THU seems to tell us that there really is nothing more than THU brain activity, and that dualism - the idea that there are THU "self stuff" is different from "brain stuff" is an outdated THU myth. THU THU And yet some reported experiences seem to put dualism back THU on the map. There are stories of people who become separate THU from their bodies. People who have out of body experiences THU during operations, or in near death experiences. There are THU even stories of "terminal lucidity", in which someone at the THU point of death behaves in ways that they were previously THU incapable of: people who were paralysed sit up in bed; those THU who were never able to talk become fluent. For some, this is THU evidence that the sense of self is not generated inside the THU brain, but transmitted to the brain from elsewhere. Paul THU Broks speaks to two neuroscientists on opposite sides of the THU debate: Peter Fenwick who is persuaded by these phenomena, THU and sceptic Chris French.
