Where cowards live like kings, while children rot in cages Condemned to suffer for the crime of being born And politicians preach, that only they can save us From their mistakes and all the consequences of their failures Wielding words like weapons in an endless culture war Every accusation a confession of their true intentions Banning books and burning pages A little knowledge is a dangerous thing Something to be feared, and something to be hated This is how the new dark age begins And when the lights go out, we shall not see them lit again A new age of darkness has now descended on us Like a swarm of locusts, bringing famine and disease A vicious cycle we seem doomed to repeat Banning books and burning pages A little knowledge is a dangerous thing Something to be feared, and something to be hated This is how the new dark age begins And in our darkest hour, we'll turn against each other We'd rather set the world on fire, than ever face the truth So beware the death of reason Herald of the burning season Banning books and burning pages A little knowledge is a dangerous thing Something to be feared, and something to be hated This is how the new dark age begins ***** Here Comes the Flood (words and music by Peter Gabriel) On YouTube: https://youtu.be/W7D4kinS_p8?si=gGUG_D0sa4aZvsWj Lyrics: When the night shows The signals grow on radios All the strange things They come and go as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide Still waiting for the swollen Easter tide There's no point in direction We cannot even choose a side I took the old track The hollow shoulder across the waters On the tall cliffs They were getting older, sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky And as the nail sunk in the cloud The rain was warm and soaked the crowd Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent, in any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you're running dry When the flood calls You have no home, you have no walls In the thunder crash You're a thousand miles within a flash Don't be afraid to cry at what you see The actors gone, there's only you and me And if we break before the dawn They'll use up what we used to be Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent, in any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up dreamers, you're running dry Lord, here comes the flood We'll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent, in any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up dreamers, you're running dry Drink up dreamers, you're running dry ***** Another helpful resource for understanding the meaning of metal, mentioned by Tim in our conversation: Metal: A Headbangers Journey On YouTube: https://youtu.be/chIeyxbVf_4?si=b8HzFX5XO_5MDswJ Peace!

For episode 46 we're joined by one of today's (and Today's) top broadcasters: Justin Webb. Justin's new book 'The Gift of a Radio: My Childhood and Other Train Wrecks' chronicles his lifelong partnership with radio, from an unusual childhood improved by the arrival of an ITT Tiny Super radio, to anchoring the Radio 4's Today programme. But he's just the latest of 3 generations of broadcaster in his family. Justin's grandfather Leonard Crocombe was not only the first Radio Times editor, but also briefly a broadcaster in 1923 - something which even Justin didn't know. Hear Leonard Crocombe tell a tale or two... Plus we continue to tell our own tale, of the broadcasting in January 1923 - from reactions to the first OBs to the Veterans of Variety, via Burns Night, Dame Nellie Melba reading to the children on Australia Day, and the BBC finally getting its licence.   NOTES: Justin's book is available in all places that sell books, eg here. Hear more of Leonard Crocombe on this marvellous gramophone record, courtesy of AusRadioHistorian on Youtube: https://youtu.be/6N1-hGjP_2M In the podcast I talk about my visit to The Radio Museum in Watchet, Somerset. Here's a video tour given to me by owner Neil Wilson. Watchet! I mean, watch it. Then visit it. In Watchet.

This is a story of radio, of music - and of love. As Radio Luxembourg returned after the War, a small number of disc jockeys arrived in the Grand Duchy to entertain the UK and Ireland from afar, against a backdrop of a staid BBC. Teddy Johnson was one of its earliest presenters, deploying an ad lib conversational style which was less common from Broadcasting House. His first love, however, had always been music, as shown by his impressive list of records released. Famously, he performed the 1959 UK entry to the Eurovision Song Contest 'Sing Little Birdie' with his much-loved wife Pearl. In his own words, aged 96, two years before his death in June 2018, recorded at Brinsworth House where he now lives alongside his wife, this is the Teddy Johnson story.  (Thanks to Bobby Crush and Alan Bailey and Brinsworth House for co-ordinating the visit and to Alan and Andy Walmsley for illustrative audio).
