From 2019. Mark Tully talks to @SimonOHagan of the Radio Times about the BBC Radio 4 series Something Understood
Ahead of Misha Glenny presenting his first In Our Time tomorrow, he did this brilliant Q&A with Sceptred Dial, the Substack I write about radio. In Our Time topics range far and wide; finding out where Misha’s enthusiasms lay was fascinating @BBCInOurTime

My latest Sceptred Dial is about why radio loves birdsong and timelessness.
