The Poet Of Whitechapel
[Repeated from Wednesday 5.30pm.] The Poet of Whitechapel.

He soon became London’s foremost Yiddish poet, founding the literary journal 'Loshn un Lebn' (Language and Life) and the weekly 'Friends of Yiddish' meetings at Toynbee Hall with its lively mixture of poetry, politics, literature and song, all part of his mission to keep the Yiddish language alive. Presented by Rachel Lichtenstein – author of Rodinsky's Room, On Brick Lane and Estuary – who continues to explore her deep connection with the Jewish East End, and featuring the many voices she has collected over the years of those who knew and loved Stencl. Produced by Patrick Bernard. Archive material courtesy of the BBC and BFI. For more information and a full list of credits visit: modernnature.productions/thepoetofwhitechapel.

A selection of highlights from Radio Art Zone - the 100-day radio art festival curated by Knut Aufermann and Sarah Washington realised as part of Esch2022, European Capital of Culture. Today: Jörg Köppl presents "zellen-silben (a dreaming machine)". This algorithmic composition by Swiss sound artist Jörg Köppl could be the only content ever needed for a radio station. Behaving like an organic life form, it offers the listener sound poetry in six different languages (including Luxembourgish) in an acoustic landscape that never repeats itself. This installation will be interrupted in the evening for a live performance by legendary Japanese musician Otomo Yoshihide.
