BBC interview

bbc

A researcher for a new BBC Radio 4 program, iPM, got in touch and asked for an interview about “liberating old papers.” I’ve never done an interview before. I’m not sure I’ll like it, but Eddie Mair is in charge and how could I say no. He’s the Indiana Jones of contemporary affairs presenters.

Friday, 18 April, update: I just got off the phone with Eddie (as I like to call him). We had endless Skype problems to begin with but in the end they were happy enough with the sound quality. I talked about “civil disobedience” and the importance of “committing small crimes in order to prevent greater evils.” Ha, ha. Pretty silly. But pretty serious at the same time.

Saturday, 19th update: the iPM web page now has a write-up — “Order, Order” — and the whole program is here.
