Politeness with Louise Mullany

from Word of Mouth · host BBC Radio 4

Professor Louise Mullany talks to Michael Rosen about politeness, and how it governs our lives, from the behaviour of football managers to the different ways children can embarrass us.

Starring Michael Rosen as Spanish football manager Unai Emery, the politest man in football.Produced for BBC Audio Bristol by Sally Heaven Subscribe to the Word of Mouth podcast and never miss an episode: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/b006qtnz
