Serious Feather Arts with Brett GregoryInterview: Dr Chris Nunn (University of Birmingham) discusses his new documentary about 'The Wicker Man'50 years on from the making of The Wicker Man (1973), director Robin Hardy’s lost papers for the years 1970-1974 come to filmmaker son Justin Hardy through the kindness of a stranger.Justin has never agreed with the exalted claims made for the film: for him, The Wicker Man’s force as a creative endeavour is marred by poor lighting, poor cinematography, poor direction… and Robin Hardy’s subsequent films have done nothing to change Justin’s opinion. But then his view is coloured by the fact that the film robbed him of his father, his home and arguab...
2024-04-0809 minThe Just Security PodcastInternational Law in the Face of Russia’s Aggression in Ukraine: The View from LvivIn the two years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, the fighting has caused widespread horror and devastation. Over 10,000 civilians have been killed and more than half a million people injured. Still millions of others are internally displaced, seeking refuge abroad, or are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. The idea of war – and how to prevent it – was a central concern when 51 nations came together to form the United Nations over seven decades ago. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine poses deep challenges to the international rules-based order and raises complex questions of international law, not only...

The first time I experienced Laurel Skincare Products during a facial treatment, I was blown away and wanted to learn more. As an energetically sensitive plant person, I could feel the high vibration and quality of the products. It was like the products were alive and interacting with me. Since becoming a licensed esthetician in 1998, I have had a passion to help people heal skin problems. Over the years, my excitement for the skincare industry has waned because I couldn't get excited about unhealthy chemical treatments.

Take 5Spinal Tap's Derek Smalls' songs that cureThirty four years after the world was introduced to Spinal Tap, you can still pull out a quote from their rockumentary and everyone knows who you’re talking about. Spinal Tap reflected the heavy bands at the time; ask any artist still making music today, and the adventures and conversations on screen cut painfully close to the bone. Nigel Tufnel, David St Hubbins and Derek Smalls were, and are, living legends. When I discovered Derek Smalls was releasing his first ever solo album, and that he’d been streaming my radio show from the Northern Hemisphere, the opportunity was too...
