DamnSaxon Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Couldn't find a thread for spreading the word about generally interesting-looking stuff coming up on the radio or TV, so here's one. (Mods - if I'm wrong about this, you know what to do!) Don't miss Archive on Four on R4 tonight at 8pm (shortened repeat Monday afternoon, or of course iplayer for 7 days). This week it's about Richard Feynman, Nobel physics laureate, safecracker, bongo player and all round splendid human being. If you know about him, it'll be nice to hear some of it again, if not, pick up on a really lovely guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fjool Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 (Mods - if I'm wrong about this, you know what to do!)All I can think of is to put it in the TV, Film, Arts and Literature section, so I've done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamnSaxon Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 ^^^Thanks Fjool, probably a better place for it. He's Jewish.He's dead, which is probably more important to him at this moment. Also, tonite on R3 6.45 - 11pm, Goethe's Faust. That'll test your endurance. You must admit, they don't do things by halves at R3. Nine solid days of non-stop Bach a few Christmases ago, an entire Wagner Ring cycle in a day, and now four hours or so of Goethe. Just hope they remember today is Talk Like a Pirate day, or all that effort will have been wasted. Perhaps one of those Radio 3 producers who like to relax scanning through Shetlink might care to consider a performance of Robert Wilson's "Ka Mountain and Gardenia Terrace; a Story about Some People Changing", which ran continuously for seven days and nights at the 1972 Shiraz festival in Iran. I'm afraid I'm holding out for a co-production with BBC2 TV on that one, though - doing the soundtrack only would be cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
