English Stitch
[Repeated from Wednesday 11am.] What is English Culture? Over ten weeks Professor Stuart Hall, the godfather of Cultural Studies, takes us on a trip through the national imagination. Hosted by critic and writer K Biswas, the series features never-before-heard archival recordings from seminars delivered in Naples during the 1980s at the height of Thatcherism. In the studio, the thinker's friends and voices inspired by his work examine his theories, unravelling the social and cultural fabric of the nation. In Episode Nine, Stuart shows us English culture in microcosm by walking the Kilburn High Road. Biz is joined by sociologist Sivamohan Valluvan, author of The Clamour of Nationalism: Race and Nation in 21st Century; Anna Minton, who lives in south London and is a regular contributor to the Guardian; and Stuart's long-time friend and collaborator, historian Bill Schwarz. English Stitch has been made in collaboration with the Stuart Hall Archive Project at the University of Birmingham.

Invisible Signals
Invisible Signals is a monthly open-form radio series that traverses archival fragments, field recordings and sonic atmospheres to examine the material and affective dimensions of imperceptible infrastructures. This month: Through memory, through migration, through places that no longer exist in the same way, aerial utterances carry their own patterns of movement and relation. Listening drifts, shifting emotional landscapes, allowing calls and rhythms to morph into new constellations of attraction. These movements and frictions become a means of inhabiting the space between listening and recognition, where meaning drifts between presence and absence. This episode lingers with the timbre of bird calls and the ways they move in and out of the infinite sky, distant rhythms and passing atmospheres, gathering associations as they travel. Presented by artist and researcher Florence To. Visit invisiblesignals.org. [Repeats Monday 7am.]
