I have guest produced the latest episode of The Global Lab. The episode covers the connections between globalisation, spaces and cities and the world of the theatre, featuring interviews with Dan Rebellato and Nick Hennegan, who I had previously spoken to for the Little Written podcast.
“I’m told it’s the largest adaptation the BBC have ever done…”
Episode Three of the Little Written Podcast is an exclusive interview with playwright and audio dramatist Dan Rebellato on the upcoming BBC Radio 4 adaptation of Emile Zola’s twenty-volume Rougon-Macquart novels, Blood, Sex and Money, on which he is a lead writer:
Episode 3: Dan Rebellato, Blood, Sex and Money
So, hot on the heels (or lukewarm on the heels, at the very least) of the previous episode, here is Episode Two of the Little Written Podcast:
Episode 2: Annegret Märten, Exeunt Magazine
Topics covered include X-Factor style theatrical job interviews, getting bored of film stars and monsters that go “Rrraarrgghh”.

The other day, I discovered a battered book of short stories by Isaac Asimov on a friend’s shelf, which I proceeded to read. Despite the fact that it is well out of print, I decided to write a review of the book, which can be found here:

In the latest episode of the Global Lab podcast, I talk to Dr Nick Attree about his work studying Saturn using photos from NASA’s Cassini orbiter. Nick tells me about a new feature, called a mini-jet, that he has discovered in Saturn’s outermost ring. We also discussed the amazing recent photos of Pluto sent back by the New Horizons spacecraft.
Nick had only handed in the final version of his PhD thesis a few days before the interview, so I think we were the first to officially call him Doctor!
