Ventures and Adventures in Topography

Episode 8:  An Estuarine Odyssey- Tilbury

This week John Rogers and Nick Papadimitriou head down the A13 to Tilbury led by geologist Dr Kate Spencer from Queen Mary, University of London and musician Andy Ramsay from Europa51.
They walk the foreshore of the windswept Thames Estuary between the two Tilbury forts,  over the cracking surface of an historic the 1930s landfill site pushing up Shippam’s paste jars through the flaking clay cap which also sprouts poisonously hallucinogenic thorn apple plants.

With readings by Heidi Lapaine to music by Europa51

Continuing our month of shows about women who create comic books, we’re happy to present another talk + Q and A recorded at the monthly event ‘Laydeez do comics’. Therapist Philippa Perry discusses her graphic novel “Couch Fiction: A Graphic Tale of Psychotherapy”, which presents a fictionalised version of a series of sessions conducted between a Psychotherapist and a patient with additional footnotes that put the words and pictures into context that are useful to anyone with an interest in how the profession and such encounters work and evolve. Philippa talks about her collaboration with artist Junko Graat, her experiences of being a therapist and discusses the work with an audience of comic book fans and creators. (Edited and introduced by Alex Fitch)

Yummy Mummy: Series 1, Episode 7

The penultimate instalment of our dusting-off the original YM series from 2008, in this week’s episode evil head of Resonance FM, Thomas Weaver-Baxter has insisted- quite threateningly- on giving Yummy Mummy the week off and banishing him somewhere cold and unpleasant. Yummy Mummy has left a pre-recorded School Run all ready to  roll, but the merciless manager throws it down the well, cranks up the Steinway Grand; and proceeds to hijack the airtime and use it as a platform for his own autobiographical torch-songs. Unfortunately he doesn’t realise that recently-formed avant-colliery marching band Reso-Parpe are heading his way. Famous explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott makes a guest appearance, implausible as that may seem. Slightly confusing fun for children old enough to know better…

Wales, part 1/3 – ancestors and ancient tales. £100 a baby, 11th Century legends, Raymond Garlick and a couple of other Welsh folk kick off a mini series of recordings revolving around the only country in the world which is exactly the size of Wales.
Originally broadcast on 15th June 2010

Voice On Record is produced and presented by Sean Williams. Each episode features a selection of recordings of the human voice which have been preserved on vinyl.

Six Pillars – Persian Maps

“History and geography are the basis of all the humanities.“

After falling in love with a map of Persia in Harrods, Dr Ala’i spent years researching the cartography of Iran and Persia before publishing two large volumes by Brill, on different maps of Persia from the 1400s to 1925.

Dr Ala’i was invited by Iran Heritage to give a talk in January 2011 on his extensively researched specialty, and Six Pillars interviewed him to find out more about this passion of his.

This is the whole interview, the first part of which was broadcast in January 2011 on Six Pillars to Persia, from the Resonance104.4Fm studios, London.
