The Goods from the Woods - Episode #9 – “Halloween” with Travis Clark

In this extra-spooky special episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys welcome Travis Clark of the "Tiny Odd Conversations Podcast" to Disgraceland Studios for a discussion of memories of All Hallows' Eves past. Rivers delves deep into his love for Halloween novelty records and his wrath for those he perceives to be destroying the genre through both rudeness and crudeness. Side tangents include Mr. T's "Be Somebody or Be Somebody's Fool", the ideal arsenal for hunting dinosaurs, and the fleeting morality of airbrush t-shirt artists.

Start the Week - The Kremlin: A fortress that has shaped a nation

Start the Week is at the Radio 3 Free Thinking Festival in Gateshead. Anne McElvoy talks to the historian Catherine Merridale about the Kremlin - a Russian fortress which has retained its original medieval function to intimidate and control, and which holds a special place in the imagination. Few buildings in England inspire such fear, but Simon Thurley explores how the country's architecture has influenced the world. The Newcastle-born writer Michael Chaplin looks to the history of the River Tyne to understand the changing fortunes of the city and its population; and the Indian writer Amit Chaudhuri attempts to save the remnants of Calcutta's colonial past under its ever-changing skyline. Producer: Katy Hickman.
