Still super annoyed with geoblocking #BBCSounds

It really worked for my Radio Gaga: Updating Literary Classics course. Some of my students have only just learnt to listen to & analyse audio adaptations and all of them enjoyed the access...
Not to mention my afternoons with McLevy, Poirot & Co. ...

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

Two figures approach the Baggage Reclaim area of an airport.

One says “We wouldn't need to put things in the hold if you brought fewer books on holiday.”

Arriving on the carousel, amongst the bags and suitcases is a very large, well-stocked bookcase.
