Thursday Afternoon Play
The BBC have turned my friend Rory Stewart’s book about walking across Afghanistan into the Thursday Afternoon Play this week (2.15pm, Radio 4).
You can use the link to listen to the show for up to a week after the broadcast, which is helpful, as only a madman (or madwoman) turns on Radio 4 in the afternoon before 10pm.
“as only a madman (or madwoman) turns on Radio 4 in the afternoon before 10pm”
Why??? This would mean you miss such programmes as PM, the 6 o’clock News, Just A Minute, the Moral Maze, Question Time, and the Archers. OK, maybe only mad(wo)men want to listen to the Archers.
Unless of course your point is that once you turn Radio 4 on, you end up doing nothing else with your day….?
