This was really interesting, Peter Hammill's show on WPKN radio last night, highlighting a lot of the lesser known stuff - at least lesser known by PH fans - he's been involved with. That version of 'Traintime' with the Lille National Orchestra is just tremendous. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

I’m back to talk about the first part of Moorcock’s ‘The Ice Schooner’ one of his 60s SFF stand-alone novels.
Of course we swing it back to Doctor Who.
Content Warning: We do talk about SA towards the end of the show.
