English Stitch
[Repeated from Wednesday 11am.] What is English Culture? Over ten weeks Professor Stuart Hall, the godfather of Cultural Studies, takes us on a trip through the national imagination. Hosted by critic and writer K Biswas, the series features never-before-heard archival recordings from seminars delivered in Naples during the 1980s at the height of Thatcherism. In the studio, the thinker's friends and voices inspired by his work examine his theories, unravelling the social and cultural fabric of the nation. In Episode Eight, Stuart discusses Thatcherism’s social and cultural fragmentations. Biz is joined by Professor of Sociology at Warwick University, Sivamohan Valluvan; Anna Minton, the author of Ground Control: Fear and Happiness in the Twenty-First Century City; and historian Bill Schwarz, Stuart's long-time collaborator. English Stitch has been made in collaboration with the Stuart Hall Archive Project at the University of Birmingham.

Open City Audio
Weekly programmes by Open City. Making architecture and cities more open, accessible and equitable. This week, InterCities: Belgrade with Dubravka Sekulić. Host Owen Hatherley is joined by the author and academic Dubravka Sekulić. Sekulić was born in one of Serbia’s lesser-known cities Niš but today, she’s walking us through the capital of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and current capital of Serbia, Belgrade. As we find out, the history of Belgrade’s built-environment is influenced not only by attempts at constructing a socialist state, but also by its notable role in the Non-Aligned Movement, a forum of 120 countries not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc that sprung up after the Second World War. It’s also been shaped by Energoprojekt, an engineering firm which built an enormous number of projects across Serbia and other non-aligned countries in Africa and Asia in the latter half of the 20th century. Ultimately, we learn it’s the city’s historical and political status as a regional outlier that makes it the complex yet often overlooked place it is today. [Repeats Tuesday 2.30am.]

Clear Spot
Deceitful Guises. A one-hour radio play written by Fern Gillam. Performed live by Fern with three of her peers/collaborators. Wacky, weird and a little bit bonkers, this live reading of Deceitful Guises runs alongside Fern's degree show piece currently exhibited at Chelsea College of Arts until 19 June 2026. In the play, sculptural elements including surface and materiality become characters who engage in a discursive and comical dialogue. Underscoring this is an exploration of class and economy at play in the hierarchies of the production and consumption of works of art. Visit Instagram @Fern.gillam.art. [Repeats Friday 10am.]
