As examples: one episode was on the unconditional live of parents for their children. Another followed a bunch of car salesmen as they tried desperately to meet their monthly sales target. Some episodes are weaker than others but the strong episodes stop you in your tracks and stay with you for days. Always the one i turn to after Kermode and Mayo. I like In Our Time although some of the subjects I don't even bother with as I am too thick to follow them - generally the maths ones. Marathon Talk I gave up on: too long, Tom talks too much and everything is always super-something. I just got bored. Tony was good though. Seven day saturday when it's on. Gave up on the News Quiz because of its simple-minded cynicism and leftie metropolitan snobbery. The only time anyone breaks ranks is when Matthew Paris is on and he dares to challenge the smug consensus. i love him for that even though he is a bit unhinged himself.

Ilistened to 2 hours or so during the 2nd half of my marathon yesterday, and frankly listening to tales of some guy running 160 miles up and down a 3mile hill made my efforts round a flat lake (as opposed to the hilly ones!!) seem a lot easier and the time flew by.
