  • Tariq Ali - The Clash of Fundamentalisms : Christianity, Islam and Capitalism
    May 26 2025

    The effect of the Trump win reverberates around the globe. There seems to be perceived electoral advantage in fanning hate and intolerance and spreading intolerance the idea around the world.

    The Middle East is on a knife edge and the Ukraine war continues.

    Why is this? Is there any cause for optimism? Where do non rational beliefs and convictions fit in the conflicts?

    This conversation with the activist and thinker Tariq Ali was recorded soon after the outrage of 9/11.

    There is a plan for the future in what Tariq was saying but I wonder if he is as optimistic today. Will rational thought and reasoned discussion bring peaceful coexistence?

  • Colin Dexter - The Remorseful Day : Inventing Inspector Morse.
    Apr 24 2025

    Colin Dexter was a splendid writer. His creation Inspector Morse is superb on the page and just as gripping on television.

    I used to meet Colin in the pub on Banbury Road in Oxford, The Dew Drop. He was great company and almost completely unaware of his success and star quality.

    I recorded this conversation in his house after the publication of The Remorseful Day. He was relaxed and very happy to look back at his life in education and crime writing.
