Midnight Sex Talk – Dirty Old Town

Midnight Sex Talk delves deep into London’s seamy past: stews, molly houses and the clap. It was just like today, really, but with different clothing, and without the latex condoms and antibiotics.

You can hear presenter and Voiceover King Piers Gibbon reading out some historical sleaze; Matthew Glamorre talking about Polari, the the gay slang that grew out of C18 thieves-and-theatre culture; and, by coincidence, our first interview with John Constable about Cross Bones in Southwark.

If that wasn’t enough, we’ve got Hallie Rubenhold talking about her book on Harris’s List, the gentleman consumer’s guide to the prostitutes of eighteenth century London.

Midnight Sex Talk is broadcast on alternate Sunday nights, from 11.30pm-12.30am, on Resonance 104.4 FM. More info about us

Six Pillars To Persia: November 10th 2005

Six Pillars to Persia is an English Language programme that looks at Persian heritage and modern Iranian culture. From artists and exiled writers to the major exhibitions at the British Museum.

World renowned film maker Abbas Kiarotsami gives a talk at the V & A museum on realism in film. This talk follows a viewing of director Abbas Kiarostami’s film Taa’ziyeh about the Islamic ceremony particular to Iran, in which men and women in the audience sit separately and chanting, lamenting and often crying or even beating their chests over the terrible death of Imam Hussein.

This programme was recorded in the Resonancefm studios and features a recording made by Fari Bradley at the V & A Museum.  Translating for Kiarostami is Vali Mahlouji. Many thanks to the Victoria & Albert Museum and Sussan Deyhim for their permission to broadcast the audio.
