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 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. English Stitch has been made possible with the collaboration of the Stuart Hall Archive Project at the University of Birmingham. Episode 2: Stuart takes us on The Long March of Liberalism, where we learn about this ideology of the modern world and the construction of English common sense. Biz is joined by critic and author Leo Robson and Red Pepper's Hilary Wainwright, along with regular guests Nick Beech and Daniel McNeil, as they unpick England's varied liberal traditions. To learn about the project and access more of Stuart Hall’s archive, join the mailing list: https://stuarthallarchive.bham.ac.uk/mailing-list/.

In this episode, Fiona Chilton is joined by Miriam, who lives in rural Devon in a home that she bought together with two other households so that they could raise their families side by side. But the dream was more challenging in reality as they tackled the practicalities of dividing land, buildings and responsibilities fairly between them. It’s a story of a dream becoming a reality, but also of the trade-off between city and country and the quest to combine the joy of wide-open space with the intimacy of a neighbourhood. Is it possible to have both? [Repeats Tuesday 2.30am.]
