  5. The deliciously eccentric life and art of Ivor Cutler by his biographer Bruce Lindsay

    The full and extraordinary story of “the Zelig-like” Cutler – poet, performer, broadcaster, playwright, surrealist, humorist – is mapped out in Bruce Lindsay’s exceptional new book, ‘Ivor Cutler: A Life Outside the Living Room’. Most of us discovered him through the patronage of fans like John Peel – or first saw him as part of the Magical Mystery Tour cast – but this fascinating conversation covers the early years too, his time as a progressive schoolteacher, the formative influence of Kafka and the Goons, his big break into TV via Ned Sherrin and his immediate adoption by the counter-culture. Has there ever been anyone remotely like him before or since? At one point Bruce reads a section of Life In A Scotch Sitting Room - with its echoes of Under Milk Wood and Sir Henry At Rawlinson End - and there are tales of gruts for tea, his fear of noise, the time he left an overheated hotel room to sleep on a station platform and a Denmark Street agent weeing in a sink.

    Order Bruce’s book here … https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ivor-Cutler-Outside-Sitting-Popular/dp/180050294X/ref=sr_1_6?qid=1671698453&refinements=p_27%3ABruce+Lindsay&s=books&sr=1-6

  6. Finance & Financial Crises | Economics for People with Ha-Joon Chang

    The 2008 financial crisis sent a shock across the world economy, slashing growth, raising unemployment, and forcing mass foreclosures on homes. As a result, many governments slashed spending, further plunging people into an economic abyss. In this eleventh lecture in INET’s “Economics For People” series, Ha-Joon Chang explains finance and financial crises.

    About “Economics for People”:

    “It is extremely important for our democracy to function that ordinary citizens understand the key issues and basic theories of economics.” – Ha-Joon Chang

    Economics has long been the domain of the ivory tower, where specialized language and opaque theorems make it inaccessible to most people. That’s a problem.

    In the new series “Economics For People” from the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), University of Cambridge economist and bestselling author Ha-Joon Chang explains key concepts in economics, empowering anyone to hold their government, society, and economy accountable.

  7. Economics: The User’s Guide | Ha-Joon Chang | Talks at Google

    Cambridge University economist Ha-Joon Chang visited Google's Cambridge, MA office to discuss his new book, "Economics: The User's Guide".

    In his bestselling 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism, Dr. Chang debunked many of the predominant myths of neoclassical economics. Now, in an entertaining and accessible primer, he explains how the global economy actually works—in real-world terms. Writing with irreverent wit, a deep knowledge of history, and a disregard for conventional economic pieties, he offers insights that will never be found in textbooks.

    Ha-Joon Chang teaches in the Faculty of Economics at Cambridge University. His books include the international bestseller "Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism", "Kicking Away the Ladder", winner of the 2003 Myrdal Prize, and "23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism". In 2005, Chang was awarded the Leontief Prize for Advancing the Frontiers of Economic Thought.

  9. Dylan Jones: were the ‘90s the last great Golden Age?

    Dylan’s a regular on our podcasts, talking in the past about his books on Live Aid and the ‘80s, David Bowie, Wichita Lineman and the New Romantics. He’s just published ‘Faster Than A Cannonball: 1995 And All That’, a superb account of the 1990s, “the last time it was culturally acceptable to celebrate Britishness” seen through his eyes and through interviews with some of the key players at the time - Nick Hornby, Tony Blair, Noel Gallagher, Tracey Emin, Gary Lineker, Tina Brown and Damien Hirst among them. You’ll enjoy this. Here are some of the stations en route …

    Britpop and the causes of Britpop.

    The mass adoption of football (lest we forget, Rupert Murdoch tried to buy Manchester United).

    ‘Fever Pitch’ and the new breed of emotional memoir.

    The CD boom that fuelled the magazine explosion.

    The way music evolved in the days before the internet.

    The deification of the Beatles.

    “That secret hour in megastores”.

    Buy ‘Faster Than A Cannonball’ here … https://www.amazon.co.uk/Faster-Than-Cannonball-1995-That/dp/147462457X
