Rhiannon has been fully immersed in the nudity at Wilderness, listening to Dan Wye’s brilliant comedy, whilst Alex has been bobbing on the sea, reading Zadie Smith’s On Beauty. What a book, exploring the mysteries of academic language, affirmative action and destructive middle aged men. Meanwhile, Rhiannon has been reading about the conflict between freedom on the internet and yet limited physical freedoms that modern children experience. Are they more anxious than ever and why? Alex has followed John Green down his turberculosis tunnel, exploring the history - from Keats to Cowboys, why it connects to everything, and why it is a disease that reveals injustice wherever it goes. An exciting, sun-filled episode!
