  1. Guardian Focus podcast: England’s riots and the prospect of a lost generation | World news | guardian.co.uk

    Only half of those who took part in the summer riots said they felt a part of British society. We hear from five young Londoners on how they see their futures and their place in society

    In August of this year riots erupted in some of England’s major cities. David Cameron announced he was recalling parliament but he resisted calls for a full inquiry. He said that the disturbances were simply a case of criminal looting.

    This week the Guardian revealed its own study, Reading the Riots, in collaboration with the London School of Economics. One of the findings was that only half of the rioters surveyed felt they were part of British society.

    In this week’s Focus podcast, Hugh Muir explores if this view is shared by other young people. He speaks to five Londoners, none of whom were involving in the rioting, although all were touched by it.

    How did they view the riots? How do they view their futures? Do they feel they are part of a lost generation?

  2. Adrian Sherwood and On-U-Sound Part 1| Dubroom

    WWW, October 2007 - Adrian Sherwood’s On-U Sound takes a special place within the catalogue of UK DUB and Reggae productions, ever since he started releasing.

    When you hear words like "experimental" or "progressive", more often than not you are listening to word that covers up an inability to work with the real deal rather than an accurate description of someone’s productions.

    It’s sad, but true.

    However, there are producers who have proven themselves to be worthy of carrying such descriptions and Adrian Sherwood definitely is one of them.

    He started his On-U project in 1980, and has been steadily releasing material that would at least inspire many other producers. Whether he recorded singers like Bim Sherman or DJ’s like Prince Far I, every time he managed to add that special touch that would become his trademark to the day this is written (October 2007).

    Although Sherwood definitely knows his Reggae, he also mixes (elements of) other musical forms with the rhythm of the drum and bassline. His philosophy and musical in-sight make him come up with original experiments and progressive productions that may not be appreciloved by the purists, but will be acknowledged by every true connoisseur of Reggae Music.

    In this podcast, we are being treated to 5 excellent maxi-singles from the Sherwood Stable, showcasing his material from especially the early 1980’s.

    A deep, deep DUB experience like no other Sound can give On-U!

  3. Adrian Sherwood and On-U-Sound Part 2 | Dubroom

    WWW, December 2007 - Get ready for a deep, deep journey into the mystical realms of Adrian Sherwood’s On-U Sound from the early 1980’s into the present time.

    When Adrian Sherwood started releasing his experiments and DUB excursions beyond the realms of Reggae, he took a special place in the history books of Reggae Music. Until this present day he maintains his position as head of one of the most remarkable stables UK DUB.

    In fact, counting Adrian Sherwood among the UK DUB engineers would not give him the credit he truly deserves. He has a truly outernational perspective on his productions and even though Reggae and Jamaican Reggae in particular is the roots of his products, nobody is really surprised when he will incorporate elements of other musical streams and styles in his releases as well.

    Ravi Shankar, for example. The Indian Sitar player made his name during the 1960’s when his works (called Raga’s) were made popular by the Beatles (or some other band).

    We will hear him, as well as a whole number of artists produced or released by Adrian Sherwood in what truly is an outernational experience, a deep deep DUB Journey beyond the realms of Reggae!

  4. State of Emergency: The Way We Were, Britain 1970-1974

    Public Lectures and Events: podcasts - Podcasts - LSE
    Speaker: Dominic Sandbrook

    Chair: Maurice Fraser

    This event was recorded on 27 October 2010 in Old Theatre, Old Building

    The beginning of the 1970s saw Britain tottering on the brink of an abyss. Yet this time of immense unrest was also one of astonishing creativity and innovation, which helped shape society as we know it today. For perhaps the last time in our history Britain experienced the shock of the new, from celebrity footballers and the pornography boom to high street curry houses and foreign holidays. Dominic Sandbrook was born in Shropshire in 1974, an indirect result of the Heath government’s three-day week giving couples more leisure time. Formerly a history lecturer at Sheffield and fellow of the Rothermere Institute, University of Oxford, he is now a well-known author, commentator and broadcaster. This event celebrates the publication of his new book, State of Emergency: The Way We Were, Britain 1970-1974.

  6. Podcasts | The National Archives | UFO file release March 2011

    Dr David Clarke, author of ‘The UFO Files’ and senior lecturer in Journalism at Sheffield Hallam University, reveals the importance of the latest batch of UFO files to be released by The National Archives. The 35 files cover the years 2000-2005 and contain over 8,500 pages of UFO sightings and reports, colour photographs and drawings, RAF investigations, unusual radar detections, parliamentary briefings, Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and - for the first time - documents on the government’s policy on UFOs. Dr Clarke highlights some of the files’ most interesting revelations, including how the UFO phenomenon was discussed at the highest level of government and Security Services worldwide including at the United Nations, and how the introduction of the FOI Act led to the MoD opening the UFO files up to the public for the first time in history.

    The National Archives is the UK governments official archive. Our main duties are to preserve government records and to set standards in information management and re-use.

  7. The Science Show - Open Data UK download audio

    From http://www.abc.net.au/rn/scienceshow/stories/2010/3090466.htm After a long campaign dating back to 2006, the UK government has released once classified data, changing the previous secrecy code purveying over government work and data sets. Naomi Fowler reports on what’s changed since the once secret data has been released. So is publishing data the new default position for government in the UK? Proponents argue releasing data allows new enterprises to emerge and site satellite navigation is a prime example.
