What a brillant site! Came up on this whilst looking for something about Zadie Smith. Sue
Dean Olsher - it's so good to hear your voice on the radio again. Where have you been and where/when will we be able to tune into you again?
Could the guest host please speak up? I can here all the guest clearly but can't hear the questions and comments of the host; turning up the volume in my office is not an option.
Thank you.
Long live the ULA.
