“Hello, it's me: I'm on the train”. Sounds familiar? Of course, it's an example of the banal drivel that passes for conversation on most mobile phones. And if the content's not annoying enough, what about when the confounded things start going off in a concert or at the theatre? Well, Classic Newsnight has conducted an exclusive online survey to find out what you think, and it's yielded some interesting suggestions about what should happen to offenders. You can find out more in this, the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast.
Notwithstanding the arrival of September, this week's podcast is designed to fly in the face of the seasons with a distinctly summery twist. Our in-house GP, Rob Hicks, has a back-to-school story for us, while our resident bookworm, Chris Powling, has chosen three titles, all of which evoke the feeling of warm sun on the skin. All that plus an interview with the acclaimed violinist and thoroughly nice bloke, Anthony Marwood, adds up to a tantalising listen. I hope you enjoy it.
