| John Peel was a great Radio Star |
Although the Buggles sang that 'Video Killed The Radio Star' I'm not so sure - there's something special about a great radio broadcaster.
In the psychiatrist's chair was a very good radio format for an in-depth radio interview - perhaps on a par to that of the legendary (John) Freeman hosted TV Interviews - Face-to-Face.
At the w/e I listened to an archive edition of the Radio programme which featured Tony Benn.
What came through for me was not only how much Benn had been influenced by his parents but also how important structure had been for him in the achievements he had made- he did at times feel overly serious and moralistic but the life he led it seems followed a clear moral Calvinistic compass and contrasts strongly (I feel) with those in politics now.
[Also enjoying the Andy Zaltsman series on Philosophy - My Life as .. that's currently running].

| What it is |
Tony Benn was very much an anti EU politician - Dunno' how he'd feel as the chaos seems set to continue with David Davis M.P. Playing (Is he really?) 'The fool' Liam Fox MP (the man to secure the new export deals) and rumours of Russian meddling - this and Trump are setting a strange background for the current times...
