She has a really sexy voice!
Listening to Jeremy Paxman is so thoroughly uninspiring and dismal, it's enough to push anybody into a suicidal stupor or a coma. I think that Tom Hodgkinson managed him well. He is bored of life and boring. Thoroughly miserable interview- Why does anybody bother interviewing Jeremy Paxman? A dentist's waiting room is more entertaining, enthralling, imaginative and life-affirming.
Ah thank you for that point, Deladis. Well taken. It's time we put something more fun and idlerish up there. We must say thank you to Mr Paxman however who generously gave us his time and help a few years ago. All gratefully received.
Interesting what he says about Jordan Peterson. I hadn't considered that he was coming from a sort of Puritanical, over-serious bent, but in fact that makes perfect sense. He does.
This resonates with some of the things that Osho was trying to say about how the environmental movement is only superficially different than the destruction it is trying to address, given that in its approach to addressing the issue, the focus is always still on a FUTURE perfect state, rather than anything in the PRESENT- And, I suppose, ceasing endless frenetic activity.. Perhaps.
Thanks 😊
I always thought it funny that here in the US we say “Merry” Christmas, while in Britain you say “Happy”. It seems like it should be the reverse.
Ha, yes - it's one of those old English terms that went over the Atlantic.

That interview er is annoying
Britain would be a much friendlier place if everyone were more like David Bramwell.
Georgia is the best ambassdor for Radio 3 ever. She is a warm, funny and talented presenter whose pasion for the music is infectious and draws you in. She also loves Greggs ice buns I believe which I doubt is a claim previous too posh presenters on Radio 3 would ever have confessed too. Keep on the good work Georgia!
Thank you for this, I really enjoyed it.
Thanks Stephanie. John Mullan is so entertaining isn't he on this subject.
Love this a people's history

Wish this was a longer talk.

Good point about remembering how people communicated and spoke from that era. They were treasures among us.
Comparing Kraftwerk and drum machines to AI creating 100% of the art and music for humans...talk about false equivalence. I usually enjoy Youth's input but he's completely delusional here in his comparisons. Also I think there should be lawsuits for people putting out videos mimicing other people's voices using AI, which is already rampant online.
Brillant
Lucy Cook is off her rocker. SMH
This was such a great event hosted by Tom and Victoria - love Tricia!
Let’s say I’m traumatized by capitalism vs. burnout!!! That’s a whole word…
I think the true heroine of Mansfield Park is Susan Price. Her sense of what is right intuitively and the future of Mansfield Park. She will save Tom Bertram. Prewitt-Brown's essay on Emma is superb,
England was Merry because it was Catholic
A upper middle class man who used a working class man to preform a social experiment, wow how original
What went wrong in England was that the Church had become extremely rich and a brain-damaged king let his greed get away with him and found he could surf a reforming tide in religion to outflank the church's refusal to allow him a divorce. That led to an orgy of looting in which the king was able to divide up the wealth contributed by the people with his upper and middle class friends. At the end the church was poor and puritanical and had to go back to taxing the parishioners.
Yes the Reformation in England was a looting operation that destroyed what was essentially a monastic Catholic national health service/cultural hub/spiritual centre for the poor of England.
Yay Sally Philips ❤
Now I want to see the reality show with the tourists, what is it called?
Found it. The tourist trap.
Thanks for sharing this brilliant interview. The Idler drinks Zoom calls were such an important part of my lockdown experience, and I'm so happy they have continued. I just got a bit of 'pandemic nostalgia' watching this. Sadly, I just can't take part live like I used to, due to family commitments (kid's bedtime, basically) so thanks for continuing to share.
Very interesting
Hilarious, I'd love to ask Mary what exactly is the correct way to snort cocaine from the back of a young guardsman whilst pumping decorously...
Iam looking him after 20 years ny godddd gamer tv so nostalgic his voice is magic
Love and respect from Los Angeles!❤❤
We've not got one now, if you knew the real truth.
He’s a WEF employee.
Doesn’t he work for the WEF ?
Among other things, the cameo of the Sean Plunket caricature is brilliant.
'Pop legend' is pushing it a bit.
he's unequivocally a legend whether you like it or not
LOL. He's a legend in his own head and that's about it.@@johnconnor_
He's a legend for some people - it's like indie within indie or so.
Totally unrecognized genius. His Achilles heel was trying to be perceived as a mainstream pop hero but would never have appealed to that demographic
Its an understatement
What an actor ! Ralph was a very difficult role to play yet Charlie did a great job on the Fast Show. Timeless masterpiece.
Measure 109 in Oregon (The Psilocybin Services Act) piggy backed upon specific aspect’s of RCH’s medical only research. He was a “Guest Science Puppet Head” for the 109 Measure only after Dr. Bronner’s family got involved-$$$ The first or primary Psilocybin Services Initiative ‘IP-12 measure’ that was the draw for me. It was actually a far superior initiative compared to the one that voters passed in 2020. It was completely dumped mid campaign and replaced by an entirely outside author once Dr. Bronners grandson paid for the total overhaul Rewrite of the Eckerts Initiative…it became Dr. Bronner’s grandson’s $ based $ bought Psilocybin Measure-Initiative… As an insider, someone who supported the IP-12 first draft, I offer evidence based evidence anchored facts & details, around what really happened during the Oregon Psilocybin Society campaign. Starting in 2015 through to its current situation today in 2024. The legal medical model only use of psilocybin in Oregon was never what Psilocybin Using Oregonians wanted or needed. We wanted all Psilocybe-Psilocybin containing Mushrooms decriminalized and available for personal adult use, trade, sharing & indoor & outdoor home cultivation. All without the fear of arrest or investigation by any agency or non agency, be it the state, city, county or feds! . We didn’t want or “need” the imperialist medically legal only, outsider interests to arrive here and create a capitalist nightmare!
Just when I am deeply engrossed in David’s speaking, that annoying twit with the glasses interrupts. Some people do not understand when they are in the presence of greatness.
First glance it looks like Lawrence with Syd Barrett
Thanks for what you do Georgia. You’re an excellent presenter on Radio 3. Always enjoy listening to you. Great to have a job your heart is in and one that makes a positive difference in many peoples lives.
Materialism is bullshit. Period.
Class! Please have Professor Hutton on again!
Elizabeth also turned down Darcy at Netherfield when he asks her to dance a reel.
