So you have to love what you love. Well, I love Radio 4, which happens to turn 40 this year. Louise says I was born about 40 years old, so clearly that’s where my affinity comes from.
I love the news coverage, I love some of the classic comedy shows on a weekend lunchtime, and I love the sheer randomness of what I learn. I go through cycles of listening to Radio 4 and at the moment I’m listening to it every day on the way to and from work. This week I’ve learnt that Mark Knopfler worked as a lecturer in English, that parliamentary elections are decided by drawing lots in the case of a dead heat, and that you can drive a rat by remote control. It’s like having Wikipedia on random play.
