English Stitch
[Repeated from Wednesday 11am.] New series! English Stitch: Stuart Hall Unpicks the Nation. 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 mid-1980s, the height of Thatcherism (a term which Hall himself coined). In the Resonance studio, the thinker's friends and contemporaries, and newer voices inspired by his work, examine his theories, and unravel the social and cultural fabric of the nation. Episode 1: What is Cultural Studies? Beginning with its birth in the 1960s, we discuss English respectability, the relationship between class and power, and the pleasures of the text. Biz is joined by feminist icon Hilary Wainwright and literary critic Leo Robson, along with regular guests Nick Beech and Daniel McNeil, as they talk through everything from the academy's influence over popular culture to the work of the Greater London Council. English Stitch has been made possible with the collaboration of the Stuart Hall Archive Project at the University of Birmingham. To learn about the project and access more of Stuart Hall’s archive, join the mailing list: https://stuarthallarchive.bham.ac.uk/mailing-list/.

Rogue Planets
The quiet force of unbound rebellion. A telescope platform for cultural slowness, deep listening, anti-profiling and reflective transmissions. Frank Malachi celebrates the work of artists, collectives, producers and academics who forge their orbits through uncharted territories. This week: Frank's guest is Dr John Kannenberg. As Director of the Museum of Portable Sound, Kannenberg’s work reframes sound as something to be collected, curated and critically listened to, an archive of culture carried in the act of hearing itself. He discusses his new book, A Brief History of Sound Recording: Fully Incomplete & Highly Biased, a richly illustrated, deeply researched and deliberately unconventional guide to the history of recorded sound. Emerging from a decade of work at MOPS, the book moves through recordings, artefacts and listening essays to offer a personal, provocative map of how sound has been captured, shaped and understood. Frank telescopes into the resonances between archive, recording and the poetics of listening. Visit Instagram @rogueplanets_fm104.4. [Repeats Monday 3am.]
