Hooting Yard: About Ivan Clank.
A hammer thumped thrice upon a panel indicated the good burghers had made a decision, and the townsfolk gathered in the square to hear it pronounced. The grubby man was to be coaxed into a tub of hot water, and scrubbed with soapy brushes, scrubbed and rinsed and scrubbed and rinsed until all trace of visible filth was expunged, and he would step from the tub to be enwrapped in a large rectangular towel albino white while the water in the tub was poured down a drain into the sewer.
And so it came to pass.

Deep Fried Planet: Episode Two
This week Joss Garman and guest presenter Graham Thompson discuss recent direct actions in Aberdeen and London.
Joss speaks to Dan Glass and Tilly Gifford of the Climate 9, a group of activists currently on trial in Scotland for an action taken at Aberdeen airport. The group closed down the taxi way in order to reduce the total number of emissions from flights that day. Their decision to cease to their protest was controversially based on a false police report that they were endangering the life of a new born awaiting air transfer.
Also on this week is James Marriot of Platform London. James discusses his part in the recent protest at the Tate Britain calling for an end to BP’s sponsorship of the arts. Marroit discusses how corporations like BP use sponsorship packages in order to obtain “social license to operate” or in other words, to distract the public from the environmentally detrimental activities that drive their profits.

Clear Spot – How Life Begins (Lynn Ruth Miller)
Clear Spot – 8th June 2010
How Life Begins – a collection of writings by Lynn Ruth Miller,
adapted and directed by Dimitri Devdariani
Narrated by Lynn Ruth Miller, with Linda Large, Victoria Johnston, Matthew Dexter, Frederic D’Amore and Peter Anderson.
Sound/post production by Lee Stapleford.
Directed by Dimitri Devdariani
Lynn Ruth Miller is an American writer, comedienne, performer, and
artist. She calls herself a “late bloomer” as her creativity truly
flourished later in life. However, once it did, her artistic career
took off with tremendous force; Lynn regularly participates in the
Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe Festivals, and attracts large, mostly
young, audiences who admire her original humour and refreshing energy.
She is the author of 11 novels, numerous short stories and many
colourful paintings. Her comedy routines are loved in London and USA.
Dimitri Devdariani trained as an actor, director and playwright. He
sees himself mostly as a director and that’s the career he would like
to pursue. Dimitri staged various classical and modern plays both in
London and his native Georgia. Amongst them are “Uncle Vanya” by Anton
Chekhov, “Sorceress” by Alexander Kuprin, “Mad Girl” by Yoshio
Mishima, “Desperate Improvisations” by Jan Hendrik Verstraten and
“Pandora’s Boxes” by Denise O’Leary.
“How Life Begins” is Dimitri’s second radio project and he is
delighted to be working with Lynn Ruth Miller and Resonance FM.
