Ed Tudor Pole- "The Pen-Is Mightier"
Manage episode 510373838 series 3627066
Get ready for a whistlestop tour through the Crystal Maze to the Punk movement of the 1970s because our guest President this week is Ed Tudor-Pole!
Grab your Duffell Coat and join us for a ramble as guest President Tudor-Pole leads us through three special destinations chosen entirely at random with the use of Tony’s enchanted bingo machine. As ever, the omniscient voice of Sir Stephen Fry is an eye on the proceedings!
First stop is destination number 115. Time. Is time a construct? "No", we learn. Punctuality, however, is very important. And what about timing in comedy and music? All this plus an appreciation of Mr.Ringo Starr!
Next we're heading toward 781: General Principals and Musical Forms. Excellent. An excuse to dive into Punk. Is it even possible to define Punk? Who better to lead us on a horizon-broadening ramble than our guest President this week?
Our third and final destination is 070- News Media, Jornalism, Publishing. Ed takes us through the perils of publishing as well as his enjoyment of writing. Then we return to a time when music was a reactionary force!
After all that it’s time to head back down the garden path to Tony’s shed and relax!
