A Christmas special podcast: my interview with Peter Ustinov, from 1991. Seems kinda the right time of year to post this, with such a humanitarian and internationalist; as well, of course, as multi-award winning actor, director and writer.https://audioboom.com/posts/8628841-peter-ustinov-interview

Birmingham City Council - how little respect you show for the memorial to dead in the pub bombings:

NOW NEXT TO A DONUT STAND!
This memorial which should be sacrosanct, given the space it deserves so people can come and pay their respects in an appropriate space.

Amid the sadness at the death of my former colleague Howard Hughes it’s appropriate his life was celebrated on radio, the medium he loved. With the fragmentation of the industry I feared his passing may not be recorded on the many stations where he appeared. He didn’t work on @TimesRadio but thanks.
