Podcast: Slightly Foxed (LS 52 · TOP 0.5% what is this?)Episode: 58: The Other Mitford GirlPub date: 2026-07-15Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization The Mitfords continue to fascinate us, thanks to the witty novels, biographies and letters they wrote, their political involvement on both left and right, and their brush with world history. Rarely a year goes by without another Mitford documentary, film or television series, a volume of letters or a biography. In our latest podcast our emphasis moves from the girls to their mother – matriarch of one of the most outrageous, controversial, influential, glamorous and intriguing families of the twentieth century.Sydney Redesdale (née Bowles), known by her family as ‘Muv’, was never going to have a conventional life. Her mother died when she was 7, and from the age of 14 she ran her father’s house. She fell in love with David Mitford (later Lord Redesdale) as a teenager and they married in 1904. Of their seven children, Nancy, Pamela, Tom, Diana, Jessica, Unity and Debo, two became bestselling authors, one was imprisoned and two lost their lives as a result of the Second World War, and their political views ranged from fascism to communism.Sydney was the original Mitford girl, from whom much of her daughters’ legendary strong will, self-confidence and extremism was born. Nancy’s satires of aristocratic life between the wars, The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, portray Sydney as Aunt Sadie, vague and rather disconnected, but in fact Sydney was a divisive character and her daughters squabbled about the nature of the ‘real Muv’ for even longer than they argued about their own political differences.Our guests on this podcast are two modern Mitfordians, Rachel Trethewey, biographer,  historian and author of Muv: The Story of the Mitford Girls’ Mother, and Frances Donnelly, broadcaster, writer and contributor to Slightly Foxed. Alongside discussion of Sydney and the difficulties of writing about someone with whom you disagree and find hard to like at times, the guests and our editors choose their favourite Mitford titles.Summer reading recommendations include R. C. Sheriff’s The Fortnight in September and Anne Tyler’s Three Days in June.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Slightly Foxed: The Real Reader's Quarterly, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

Nobody saw it coming, but Hackney Diamonds topped the charts, won rave reviews, and spawned a tour that grossed over $230 million.  They could have bowed out then - but the people wanted more. Turns out, so did The Stones. Foreign Tongues is what came next.

Propping up this dying, decadent institution has been a favored pastime of preservationists, architecture buffs, and earls for about as long as the institution has been around. In his new book, Noble Ambitions, historian Adrian Tinniswood peels back the wallpaper to show how these ancestral piles survived both World War II and the sunset of the British Empire—and in some ways, are more relevant than they ever were.

Podcast: Legend (LS 39 · TOP 2% what is this?)Episode: The Miles Davis Story: 1. Don't Call Me LegendPub date: 2026-05-29Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationClarke Peters explores the life and legacy of a visionary artist whose relentless pursuit of the "new" often scorched his own life and the lives of those around him. In September 1944, an 18-year-old Miles Davis arrives in New York with a trumpet in his hand and a secret mission. He may have first arrived in New York to take up a place at the prestigious Juilliard School, but in reality Miles was actually patrolling the smoke-filled jazz clubs of 52nd Street, chasing the high-speed sounds of his bebop heroes, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Across the series, Clarke charts Miles’s ever-evolving artform, starting with this first great transformation of a legend - when the young Miles chose to step into the unknown, seize control of his own creative destiny, and begin his journey as a leader.Narrator, acclaimed actor and longtime fan, Clarke Peters (The Wire, Treme, Da 5 Bloods) reveals the restless genius and radical evolution of Miles Davis. Growing up in a New York household where his father’s jazz records were the permanent soundtrack, Clarke was captivated by Miles long before he fully appreciated the man behind the music. Across five episodes, Clarke traces a 50 year odyssey of constant reinvention - from a teenage outsider chasing the bebop revolution in 1944 to a global icon who redefined what it meant to be Black, to be cool, and to be an artist.Blending archival recordings and legendary tracks with fresh perspectives from a range of creators, the series reveals how Miles’ influence ripples far beyond the world of jazz. We discover how his "take no shit" attitude and aesthetic fearlessness impacted on the likes of Oscar-winning filmmakers, celebrated designers and music icons like Prince, Joni Mitchell, Sting and even bands like Radiohead, as well as generations of now also legendary jazz musicians that he championed early in their careers - John Coltrane, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Keith Jarrett and Marcus Miller, to name a few. The series also grapples with the darker side of Miles’ legacy, including the domestic abuse that left a trail of pain for those closest to him and the substance issues that took a deep toll on his health. It asks difficult questions about how to regard an artist capable of creating the most sublime aesthetic statements while engaging in brutal behaviour. Clarke Peters, whose own creative journey as an actor was sparked by Miles’s music, leads a searching investigation into a man who refused to be palatable, refused to be a "legend", and simply refused to stop moving forward.Miles Davis Interview: From Jazz Talking by Ben Sidran, 1986.

Since the outbreak of war at the end of February, a near total internet blackout and a shutdown of international phone lines by the Iranian authorities has meant limited information has got out of the country. Despite the risks involved, the sisters have made recordings of their conversations which have been shared with the BBC. They discuss when the bombs land, the destruction of places they love and the realities of an economy that’s being brought to its knees. They struggle to sleep at night. Salaries don’t come through. It’s a roller coaster of emotions. But there are also moments of calm and comfort…a spot of dark humour and the scent of hyacinths.Actors: Leila played by Lisa Zahra Gita played by Zahra AhmadiPresenter: Caroline Hawley Producers: Adele Armstrong and Soroush Pakzad Sound design: Peregrine Andrews Editor: Clare FordhamThe podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from BBC Radio 4, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

I struggled with that when I was at university because it was almost cliché to say that the fifth- and sixth-century Athenians invented democracy, which is simply not true. It doesn’t take much to say, ‘Look, democracy isn’t like the iPhone or the steam engine.’ It isn’t invented in that way. Democracy is a process and people have been experimenting with that process all over the world–not just in Western Europe–for thousands of years.”  This week on the podcast, Donovan Hohn speaks with Mary Beard, best-selling historian and professor emerita of classics at the University of Cambridge, about her new book, Talking Classics: The Shock of the Old. “What is the point of the ancient classics?” Beard asks in the book’s introduction. “Why should we bother about what people did two thousand years ago or more: what they made, wrote, and thought? What can it all mean to us now?” In the chapters that follow, and in this episode of The World in Time, she shares her best answers, drawing from her own lifelong, wonder-struck study of the ancient worldSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Lapham’s Quarterly, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

Podcast: Hit That Perfect Beat - The London Records Story (LS 39 · TOP 2% what is this?)Episode: Hit That Perfect Beat: The London Records Story | Episode 1 - A New EraPub date: 2026-05-06Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationBefore the hits, before the headlines, there was chaos, instinct… and a gamble.Welcome to the birth of London Records: a label that didn’t just ride the wave of 1980s pop, but helped create it. In this opening episode, journalist Siân Pattenden throws us headfirst into a music industry that feels more like the Wild West: fast-moving, rule-breaking, and full of possibility.With founders Roger Ames and Tracy Bennett at the helm, London Records wasn’t interested in playing it safe. Instead, they built a culture driven by risk, rebellion, and raw creative energy. Through the voices of artists and insiders, we hear how early signings like Blancmange embodied a DIY, art-school ethos, proving that pop could be smart, strange, and fearless.Then came Bananarama: Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward; three friends squatting in London who would go on to define a generation. Their rise captures the spirit of the time: scrappy, stylish, and completely self-made.Behind the scenes, a young Pete Tong begins shaping the label’s future, while staffers recall an office buzzing with urgency, noise, and big personalities. Deals are struck fast. Records are rushed out. Hits are chased with instinct as much as strategy.But this isn’t just about success; it's about attitude. London Records becomes a family of outsiders: loud, ambitious, and unapologetically cool. As journalists like Miranda Sawyer explain, this was the moment pop exploded into everyday British life.And then, pop turns political. Enter Bronski Beat and the unmistakable voice of Jimmy Somerville. With ‘Smalltown Boy,’ the pop charts become a place of protest, identity, and emotional truth.From underground beginnings to cultural revolution, Episode 1 tells the story of how a maverick label and its cast of fearless artists helped usher in a brand new era of pop.Written and presented by Siân Pattenden. Produced by Robin Leeburn. A Podmasters production for London Records.Guests featured in this episode: Goldie, Richard Coles (The Communards), Siobhan Fahey (Shakespears Sister / Bananarama), Neil Arthur (Blancmange), Sara Dallin (Bananarama), Keren Woodward (Bananarama), Pete Tong, Sean Rowley, Colin Bell, Juliette Sensicle, John Niven, Hillary Shaw, Miranda Sawyer.Songs featured in this episode:  Goldie - Kemistry (Doc Scott mix)Bronski Beat - Hit That Perfect BeatBlancmange - Living on the CeilingBananarama - Ai Ae MwanaFine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me CrazyCommunards - Don’t Leave Me This WayBananarama - Cruel SummerBronski Beat - I Feel LoveBronski Beat - Smalltown BoyFollow London Records for clips, more content and to send us your questions and thoughts:InstagramLondon RecordsTikTokFacebookWebsite ‘Hit That Perfect Beat - The London Records Story’ compilation is released on 2CD / Digital on June 12, 2026 and available to pre-order now Hosted on Acast.

It was written three years after the disastrous premiere of his First Symphony, a premiere so catastrophic that it lives on in the annals of musical history, and is the essential starting point for understanding the Second Piano Concerto and how it came to be. The concerto revived both Rachmaninoff's career and his spirits, and it remains his most famous orchestral work. It is a towering masterpiece of Romanticism, overflowing with glorious melody after glorious melody, supported by virtuosic and sumptuous writing for the solo piano, and a deeply satisfying orchestral part that continues to make audiences swoon around the world. Today on the show, we'll begin with the story of Rachmaninoff's First Symphony, and then walk through this extraordinary concerto, highlighting what truly makes Rachmaninoff's music so special. Hint: it's not just the pretty melodies.

The Lance Armstrong DefencePub date: 2026-04-01Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationIn the early 2000s, a young man in New Jersey was writing thousands of fake university essays for paying students.

Damon Krukowski on the value of soundPub date: 2026-04-01Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationWe all know what sound is, but are we any good at describing it?This week’s guest is a musician, writer and one of independent music’s wisest observers. Damon Krukowski has been playing in bands since the ‘80s, drumming for dreampop originals Galaxie 500 and, for the past 30 years, fronting Damon & Naomi with his partner Naomi Yang.He’s also written three books about sound and its strange, intangible properties (most recently Why Sound Matters) and he's a proud member of UMAW, a cool young labour union for music workers.It was a privilege to talk to Damon about the full spectrum of sound – from noise pollution and sodcasting to the merch table, from the ‘red herring’ of intellectual property to the hidden value of hanging out backstage.Unsurprisingly he had several excellent movies to recommend to us, including one for all you Coen Brothers fans out there.Before that, we debrief our recent nights out and the last ever weekend at Corsica Studios, which could still be going as far as we know. We also hear your Rockufiction feedback and offer a hot new entry to the canon: Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie.

Podcast: Close Readings (LS 45 · TOP 1% what is this?)Episode: Who’s afraid of realism? Three stories by Anton ChekhovPub date: 2026-03-30Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarization‘Instead of sheets – dirty tablecloths.’ The notebooks of Anton Chekhov are full of enigmatic observations such as this, the unexplained details that suggest a whole scene, short story or character. When asked by an actor how he should play the role of Trigorin in The Seagull, Chekhov simply answered: ‘he wears checked trousers’. As James Wood argues, this mastery of the telling detail is central to Chekhov’s radical realism. Unlike Flaubert and Ibsen, Chekhov sought to avoid imposing authorial meaning or irony, instead handing over perception to his characters. In this episode, James looks at three of Chekhov’s stories, ‘Gusev’ (1890), ‘The Bishop’ (1902) and ‘The Lady with the Little Dog’ (1899), and the ways in which each seeks to curb the judgment or expectations of the reader to foreground the experiences of his characters, even beyond death. Non-subscribers will only hear an extract from the episode.
