Our Programme Director for Infrastructure John Kavanagh is joined by Chris Whitehouse, Technical Director at WSP, and Anna Hart, Senior Corporate Finance Manager at Transport for London (TfL), to discuss how new financing models can support delivery of much-needed infrastructure projects across the capital. The trio cover lessons learned from the Northern Line extension to Battersea, as well as the Elizabeth Line, outlining how a new way of taxing properties which benefit from infrastructure investments could help fund extensions to the Bakerloo, DLR and Overground lines, unlocking thousands of new homes and jobs in the process.
Welcome back to Who Moved The Tortoise? After a summer break at Tortoise HQ we're kicking off series two in praise of Judith Hann with VFX Executive Producer Emma Kolasinska. On the menu, the BBC's long-running tech series Tomorrow's World. Along the way, we talk the language of VFX, the problem with hyenas' semen and the joy of Findus Crispy Pancakes. Oh… and the rumbling you hear every three minutes isn't Alex's stomach, it's the Northern Line.What was your favourite Tomorrow's World moment and what were you having for tea while you watched it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In this podcast we wrap up our look at the Northern Line, that runs from north to south. Join us as we look at the lines, extensions and the history of the line.
Going from the top to near the bottom of the tube map, the Northern Line is one of the most used lines on the London Underground. How was it created and why was it named this? In this podcast we'll answer this and many other questions you haven't thought of relating to the Northern Line...
“A journey on the underground. Eight and a half minute field recording. London, April 2024.”
A series of inexplicable and gruesome deaths plague London's Northern Line subway, baffling police and terrifying commuters. As the body count rises, rookie detective Sasha Patel uncovers the presence of a vengeful spirit bound to the underground. Desperate to end the haunting, Sasha delves into occult lore and attempts a dangerous ritual, risking her own life to confront the ghost. This episode combines urban legends with police procedural elements, exploring themes of justice from beyond the grave and the lengths one might go to solve an impossible case.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

The second edition of this vital series features world-renowned talents such as Benjamin Fröhlich, Venice Arms aka Curses, Massimiliano Pagliara, Zombies in Miami, label founder Jorkes, and many more. Queer Base is a charity in Vienna that offers social and legal counselling to LGBTQI+ refugees who arrive in Austria, including providing help with court cases, finding housing, community events, organising German lessons, HIV/STI testing, and more. Further details can be found at https://queerbase.at/. This tastefully curated selection traverses the electronic spectrum in style. Polygonia opens with supple and trippy minimal on 'Cheeky Seduction' and things build through dubby, stripped-back analogue grooves from HCL, typically bright, jacked-up, and synth-heavy sounds from Massimiliano Pagliara on 'Distant Memory' and retro-future disco-house from Benjamin Fröhlich. CYRK's 'Fade 2 Gay' is a slow-motion and moody dark disco chugger before Gunce Aci picks it up with some skyward arps and slap-funk drums on 'Whatever It Takes.' Elsewhere Zombie Affair, aka Zombies in Miami & Mystery Affair, offer the body-popping electro-disco of 'Girl, You Got Me', Panooc's 'Pellucid' is a throwback and sensual vocal house cut and Lydia Eisenblätter brings all out piano house joy to 'What Is Love' before the closer from Mala Ika is another celebratory cut full of hands in the air synths and joyous drums. This compilation is not only an essential listen but also an essential project that highlights and supports the vital work undertaken by Queer Base. The artwork was created by label creative powerhouse Daniel Rajcsanyi, and the LP was mastered by Blackheadstudios.

The high mountains shield the valley in all directions. (13:35)13:38 Back in Zurich. Until about twenty years ago, most beekeepers here traditionally kept dark bees, but now they are visibly being displaced by other overbred, non-native honey bees. Urban beekeeping is booming. The number of bee colonies is steadily increasing. And to increase their honey yield, beekeepers are turning to honeybee breeds that produce larger colonies. (14:05) 14:08 Just like Anna has done.

On Wednesday, the day of a rail strike that wiped out almost all South Western Railway trains, London's Northern Line shut down for an hour. With many travelers switching from rail to Tube, the closure was doubly damaging. It is not clear what caused the problem, and Transport for London has not responded to my request about it. But while I was part of the Tubeful of travelers wondering what was going on, I thought I should look at the best and worst Underground lines for cancellations.This podcast is free, as is my weekly newsletter - sign up to receive it every Friday here.

This episode focuses on the value of place making within construction and engineering projects. Place making is the practice of ensuring that a project goes beyond functionality and delivers something that benefits the society in which it is being constructed. It is ensuring that there is space above and around it for public use, which will bolster a community with new resources. Fitting in the requirements of a client while also providing wider benefit for the community can make place making feel like a difficult jigsaw, but it has wide-ranging knock-on effects that make it worthwhile. These include improved mental health, physical health, pride of place and economic uplift. These are long-term positives for a broad swatch of society. We've seen plenty of placemaking within cities with the likes of the Battersea and Nine Elms developments around the Northern Line extension or the creation of MediaCity at the previously derelict Salford Quay docklands. However, these types of regenerative projects can also be smaller but just as transformational in smaller locations. The guests joining NCE assistant news editor Rob Hakimian on this month's episode have plenty of experience in place making initiatives. Alex Scott-Whitby is the founder and director of Scott Whitby Studios, the architectural firm that walked away with the Place Making Initiative of the Year award at this year's British Construction Industry Awards for its Jubilee Pool project in Penzance – a project that is discussed in the podcast. Alongside Alex is Chris Short, iconic bridge director at Arcadis. Chris' work also sees him sit on Arcadis' infrastructure group, which focuses on urban development – something that he is passionate about. In this conversation, Alex and Chris discuss the importance of place making and how it should be embedded into projects. They talk specifically about the ScottWhitby Studio's Jubilee Pool and the benefits it has brought to the people of Penzance. They also discuss the makeup of the current urban landscape and how it can be redressed to better serve the public. The discussion also takes a broader view to discuss the implementation of place making; who has the responsibility to make sure it happens and what is the best way for those working on a project to bring it into a design. Lastly, they look to the future to imagine what towns and cities might look and feel like in the future if place making is instilled in all future developments.

We explore Woodside Park, a station which has retained many of its picturesque historic details, and talk to Luke Agbaimoni, aka Tubemapper, renowned photographer of the London Underground. Woodside Park was opened by the Great Northern Railway in 1872, and became part of the Northern Line in 1940. We've covered the history of this section of railway in full detail in episode 004 - Totteridge and Whetstone. Around Woodside Park we discover the disputed etymology of Tally Ho Corner, and the De Dion Bouton factory which may have built some of London's earliest motor buses.

https://twitter.com/PersianPoetics/status/1261745279860080641 [The Northern Line or the Gothic Line] “is a line that passes between things and, in the process, imbues the figures of people, animals, plants, etc. with a common nervous and frenetic energy. Its movement gives birth to a dynamic and chaotic geometry of diagonals, jagged edges, and swirling lines that actively construct space rather than merely describing it. This nomadic line connects and assembles heterogeneous elements while maintaining them as heterogeneous. Thus, space is assembled piece by piece, with each piece of space having its own internal geometrical coordinates, its own temporal rhythms, and its own dramatic intensities.” -Darren Ambrose “Man betrayed the prophetic advice of his ancestors, who adopted the law of migration, believing the sedentary are the only dead ones, since they alone possess bodies that arouse the earth's greed. Nomadic people, who never stay anywhere or settle down on the earth, own nothing to provoke the earth or arouse its greed. They possess nothing: no gear, no walls, no bodies, not even dreams. All they possess is their voyage, nothing more. They possess a single riddle, over which the earth holds no sway and for which the lowlands can offer no explanation. This is deliverance.” -Ibrahim al-Koni “He who has attained to only some degree of freedom of mind cannot feel other than a wanderer on the earth – though not as a traveller to a final destination: for this destination does not exist. But he will watch and observe and keep his eyes open to see what is really going on in the world; for this reason he may not let his heart adhere too firmly to any individual thing; within him too there must be something wandering that takes pleasure in change and transience. Such a man will, to be sure, experience bad nights, when he is tired and finds the gate of the town that should offer him rest closed against him; perhaps in addition the desert will, as in the Orient, reach right up to the gate, beasts of prey howl now farther off, now closer to, a strong wind arise, robbers depart with his beasts of burden. Then dreadful night may sink down upon the desert like a second desert, and his heart grow weary of wandering. When the morning sun then rises, burning like a god of wrath, and the gate of the town opens to him, perhaps he will behold in the faces of those who dwell there even more desert, dirt, deception, insecurity than lie outside the gate – and the day will be almost worse than the night. Thus it may be that the wanderer shall fare; but then, as recompense, there will come the joyful mornings of other days and climes, when he shall see, even before the light has broken, the Muses come dancing by him in the mist of the mountains, when afterwards, if he relaxes quietly beneath the trees in the equanimity of his soul at morning, good and bright things will be thrown down to him from their tops and leafy hiding-places, the gifts of all those free spirits who are at home in mountain, wood and solitude and who, like him, are, in their now joyful, now thoughtful way, wanderers and philosophers. Born out of the mysteries of dawn, they ponder on how, between the tenth and the twelfth stroke of the clock, the day could present a face so pure, so light-filled, so cheerful and transfigured: – they seek the philosophy of the morning.” -Nietzsche, Human, All too Human (I, §638) [Enlightenment philosophers] “left us with a notion of matter as passive and inert, while the human mind was seen as active and creative” Bjørnar Olsen (2007) Rock art threads: https://old.reddit.com/r/DilettanteryPodcast/comments/y1i1x6/rock_art_threads/ Sources/place for discussion: https://old.reddit.com/r/DilettanteryPodcast/comments/y59149/35_deleuze_and_guattari_and_cave_art_part_2/?

"the 'misery line', that's what Londoners call it"
Renowned for its fantastically complex junction, Camden Town station is where the Charing Cross, Bank, Edgware and High Barnet branches of the Northern line come together. Opened in 1907 on the Hampstead Tube, the famous junction was added in 1924 to integrate the City and South London Railway into what is now the Northern Line. Ongoing efforts to increase capacity have lead to recent proposals for the Northern line to be split apart again, requiring another rebuild at Camden. The area surrounding the station also has a rich railway history, as well as the famous markets, and plans for a Camden High Line linear park.

It's another awe-inspiring episode from the Someone Gets Me podcast as I share the screen with China Forbes, the lead singer, and songwriter of the band Pink Martini. A gifted multi-potentialite, China's exceptional talents, coupled with her rich life experience, is truly a story worth telling (and made into a movie!) Tune in as she shares her journey of what it's like pursuing many passions, enrolling at Harvard University, where she juggled visual arts, acting and singing, and even finishing as cum laude. China's life shows us how music is a source of hope, how it takes courage to focus on giving your gifts to the world, and the importance of accepting that the good and the bad things in life don't last forever. Key points covered in this episode: ✔️ A musical genius making beauty from sadness. China's unusual childhood, her mother and father, divorcing when she was five, and the many struggles after that are depicted in a movie her sister made called Infinitely Polar Bear, starring Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana. Such was the backdrop as China grew up and made it through with the help of art, music, and her eternal optimism for life. ✔️ She is releasing the song "Rise," which she wrote for her Pink Martini bandmate, Derek Rieth. "I just felt like my words did not succeed in helping him, but I felt that they could help someone else who was struggling with suicidal thoughts. I've been sitting on it for six years, but it's now coming out; I do believe that this song will help many people." ✔️ There is still more to be done by the singing sensation, and she has this to say to fellow creatives: "You need not care what anyone thinks. It would be best if you dedicated time every day to do your craft. Trust that no one else is you and don't compare yourself to others, and you need to get the focus off of yourself because self-consciousness is paralyzing. Ask yourself, how do I give my gifts to the world?" ✔️ China recently co-written Pink Martini's two latest hits, including "The Lemonade Song," approaching 2 million streams on Spotify alone. This soaring anthem of orchestral pop, written on either side of a breakup, celebrates the strength we all have to persevere and survive and learn to love our lives. It describes each individual's Full Circle: the power each of us has to steer our lives in the direction we want to go, a direction that will end up back where we started, but as a different person each time we come around. China Forbes was born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she graduated cum laude from Harvard and was awarded the Jonathan Levy Prize for acting. She appeared in New York regional theatre and Off-Broadway productions, earning her Equity card alongside future stars of stage and screen such as Norm Lewis, Peter Jacobson, and Rainn Wilson. Soon after college China formed and sang with her first band. They regularly performed at NYC clubs CBGB's Gallery, Mercury Lounge, and Brownies. Her first solo album Love Handle was released in 1995, and she was chosen to sing "Ordinary Girl," the theme song to the TV show Clueless. In 1995, she was plucked from New York City by Harvard classmate Thomas Lauderdale to sing with Pink Martini. She has written many of Pink Martini's most beloved songs with Lauderdale, including "Sympathique," "Lilly," "Clementine," "Let's Never Stop Falling in Love," "Over the Valley," and "A Snowglobe Christmas," which can be heard on Pink Martini's holiday album Joy to the World. Her original song "Hey Eugene" is the title track of Pink Martini's third album, and many of her songs can also be heard on television and in film. She sang "Qué Será Será" over the opening and closing credits of Jane Campion's film In the Cut. Her original song "The Northern Line" appears at the end of sister Maya Forbes' directorial debut Infinitely Polar Bear, released in 2015 by Sony Pictures Classics. With Pink Martini, Forbes has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Later with Jools Holland. She has performed songs in over twenty languages. China has sung duets with Michael Feinstein, Jimmy Scott, Georges Moustaki, Henri Salvador, Saori Yuki, Faith Prince, Carol Channing, and Rufus Wainwright, among others. She has performed in venues from Carnegie Hall to Red Rocks, the Sydney Opera House to the Grand Rex in Paris. She released her second solo album '78 on Heinz Records in 2008, a collection of autobiographical folk-rock songs. She has recently co-written Pink Martini's two latest hits, including "The Lemonade Song," approaching 2 million streams on Spotify.

There are two new stations on the world famous Tube map. Together Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms make the first extension to the Northern Line for 80 years. In this special programme, we speak to Transport Secretary Grant Shapps, Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and others as the first passengers got on-board. We hear how the £1.1 billion project is seen as the catalyst for the wider redevelopment of the Nine Elms area, with the former power station at its heart. And we also learn how discussions between TfL and the government are going as the transport network looks for a long-term deal to provide stability after the devastating effects of coronavirus.

It's a Monday morning, and you're sandwiched between a bunch of perfect strangers on the Northern Line. But something, or someone, catches your eye…. In our new podcast, journalists Mesgana Sintayehu, Callum Cuddeford and Elaine McCallig discuss all things love and lust aboard public transport in London. We delve into the murky depths of the Metro newspaper's Rush Hour Crush personal ads, and we hear from Hannah who tells us of how a chance encounter on a train led to her meeting her boyfriend of four years. We also chat to Dan Corsi whose band's 2000 hit single Love on the Northern Line melted the hearts of commuters everywhere. All aboard the Love Train! Destination? You decide?
Banking is a dirty word these days and Bankers have come in for a pasting. Bank Station, with it's ongoing improvement work, huge levels of public investment and disgruntal travellers is not a bad metaphor for anyone mystified by Banking. It's confusing. It's a constantly changing terrain down in Bank tube station, with it's temporary signage that is like the small print in a loan agreement and just too tricky to read, it's temporary structures, and all the twists and turns that only served to undermine my confidence in my own judgement because I ended up in Rotherhyde when I meant to go to Tooting. Dave, at Clapham North, has a technique for stuffing me in to the front carriage of the northbound rush hour service so I'm in the right place when I get to Bank. At Bank it's my fellow commuters I generally rely on. While the ones that tut and complain at my dithering presence assume a greater importance in my consciousness than they deserve, spare a thanks for the people who go out of their way. The best of my fellow travellers ask if help is required rather than telling me that help will be provided. They meet me on equal terms and do not grab me or speak loudly and slowly. When I have my cane in my hand, which I don't always do, they don't point out the direction “over there” but explain. They offer up seats and I willingly accept to avoid having to fight not falling over on a moving train. They don't plead for divine intercdence on my behalf and they don't lose it if they realise that I can see to read my mobile phone. It's the little things that go a long way to making life easier. Just when I was getting lulled into these little interactions as the norm, I got my comeuppance. Having been wandering round Bank Station for about 20 minutes, a lovely man asked me if he could help. I was not swayed by his obvious charms but willingly accepted, and as we set out from the Central westbound platform for the second time that afternoon, in search of the Northern Line southbound, I surrendered to his judgement. We fell into conversation and I must say that I was fully engaged, although if you asked me now what he looked like or what we talked about, I would say that I have not got a clue. When we arrived on the southbound platform of the Northern line, he said that this is where he would leave me and I was suitably grateful and tried not to flick back my hair while saying my goodbyes to our brief encounter. He left me and as the train approached I heard the announcement; “this was the westbound Central line service to West Riselip”. I set out to find the Northern line for the fourth time in an afternoon.

Mind the gap! Un annuncio che ascoltiamo continuamente se ci troviamo a viaggiare nelle tentacolari linee della tube londinese. Per Margaret McCollum, tuttavia, esso ha tutt'altro significato. La voce soave protagonista dell'annuncio, infatti, è quella del celebre attore inglese Oswald Laurence, suo marito. A seguito della sua morte, Margaret McCollum si è recata ogni giorno al capolinea della Northern Line, nella stazione di Embankment, per poter ascoltare la voce del defunto marito ancora ed ancora. I tempi cambiano, tuttavia. E con essi le tradizioni e così l'annuncio di Oswald Laurence registrato nel lontano 1968 ha raggiunto l'età pensionabile, ed è stato sostituito da un messaggio computerizzato che ha visto modificato persino il testo originale.

Begun, the Donk War has... They stole our Donks... We never wanted for this to happen... We gave them the chance for peace... They weren't interested. So now we must fight. The Donk War is upon us. We do not know who will be left standing at the end of this. We ask all our followers to now rally behind the Donkcast, and stand up to the evil empire of the Donkline. This Valentine's day, make war, not love. Felix Faillace, Adam Tamimi and Roman Bannock, are joined by the mighty DJ Northern Line, who has harsh words and even harsher donks for his arch nemesis DJ SOUTHERN RAIL (rip).

"that sequence in 'the tea ceremony' was a class indicator"
This week editor of New Civil Engineer Claire Smith and news editor Rob Horgan address the multiple landslides and project delays caused by climate change in Scotland, including the recent tragic landslip which caused a train to derail and people to lose their lives. There's also a nod to state of play with job losses in the industry – could we be facing an even more dire skills shortage in the near future? Later, the pair are joined by Andy Lord, managing director of TfL's London Underground, the world's oldest railway. The conversation focuses on the impact of Covid-19 on the underground's daily operations and services, but also touches on the Northern Line extension and the impact of the recently announced (further) delays to Crossrail and the handover of the Elizabeth Line. The Engineers Collective is a bimonthly podcast released by New Civil Engineer, powered by Bentley Systems. Around the world, engineers and architects, constructors and owner-operators are using Bentley's software solutions to accelerate project delivery and improve asset performance for transportation infrastructure that sustains our economy and our environment. Together, we are advancing infrastructure.

We've recorded 50 episodes! How on earth has that come about? Thank you *so* much to those of you joining us on our error-strewn, star-sprinkled athletics' romp to date. We've loved every minute of it (especially when Jody made the pacemaker his Fantasy Diamond League captain...).Claire's been away covering the Netball World Cup, but these major international meets don't journalise themselves, so Jody and Bayo headed to the London Stadium to speak to the following at the Anniversary Games: Karsten Warholm, Laviai Nielsen, Jakob Ingebrigsten, Gjert Ingebrigsten, Beth Dobbin, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, and Katarina Johnson-Thompon. Big names? Complete it, mate.From Gjert telling us that Jakob's got 'baby fat' to lose before he can really excel in the 5000, to Karsten describing the final few seconds of a 400mH as hurting 'so fucking good' - this episode's chock-full of T&F titbits hotter than the Northern Line right now. Plug in and enjoy.As ever, we'd love your feedback - positive or otherwise - or just to chat about athletics with you.

West End musical theatre veteran and professional singer Tracy Kashi is a warm, friendly and versatile vocalist and musician, with an Iranian, Israeli background. Based in North London, she has worked as an actress and singer and appeared many times at the Royal Festival Hall. She made her West End debut in Rent at The Prince of Wales and has worked with stars such as Petula Clark, Idina Menzel, Bobby McFerrin. She can be found singing Jazz at Ronnie Scotts or Kurt Weil at The Royal Festival Hall, and is the featured voice in the musical score for ITV’s Maigret with Rowan Atkinson. Her new show My Cancer Gap Year is an uplifting musical about her very recent experience with breast cancer—from shock diagnosis to tentative recovery—and combines comedy song and candid advice. This is Your London Legacy. “What do we humans do when stuff is hard to talk about? Very often we turn to humor to diffuse and deflect and communicate.” [10:26] Tracy doesn’t identify as a “cancer survivor” or undertaking a “cancer journey”. She feels as though she has had an experience with a disease and is still here. Hence the name of her show—Cancer Gap Year—which succinctly sums up how she feels about her experience, without diminishing the struggles that have come with her diagnosis and treatment. The show ties together song and comedy to convey Tracy’s experience—a mashup that she openly admits was difficult deliver, as she had never done any sort of stand up comedy before. She didn’t want to offend anyone by making light of sensitive material, but in the end she feels she was able to be authentic about the ridiculous parts of her “gap year” while treating the disease others may have experienced with respect. Tracy admits there was a bit of imposter syndrome at play, something she has had to overcome over the course of her career as a performer. However, her 20 minute version of the show was a bit of a trial run, and one Tracy was quite happy with. “Perfect is the enemy of the good.” [32:58] During Tracy’s diagnosis and treatment she took notes on everything from first finding her lump after a grimy ride on the Northern Line, to talking about bureaucratic insensitivities and her response to treatment—Tracy and her husband latched onto the ridiculous and laughed about it. It was healing for them. The show is Tracy’s way of doing something useful with her experience; raising awareness, raising money, showing respect and gratitude for everyone that helped her, and helping others cope and heal with the power of laughter and performance. If you are interested in seeing Tracy perform My Cancer Gap Year you can sign up at TracyKashi.com (http://www.tracykashi.com/welcome-1) to get gig info, watch videos, and find out more about her work. Tracy can also be booked for coaching. She has two upcoming shows; one on July 25th and another (the big one) on October 31st on the main stage at JW3.

On a busy Friday morning in 1975, the London Underground was packed with people heading off to work at insurance and banking companies. In one six-car train on the Northern Line, driver Leslie Newson was just having a normal workday, with plans to go buy his daughter a car after the day was done. He'd not leave the Underground alive, and neither would forty-two of his passengers.
Northern Line is set during the Second World War. Grace, who works in the box office at a London theatre, finds herself caught at Hampstead tube station during an air-raid shelter. The action unfolds in the claustrophobic platform setting and the story explores equality and social responsibility.

She has travelled extensively in East Africa where she also worked as a teacher and an HIV counsellor. She received a distinction for her MA in creative writing from Royal Holloway and her second novel The Hunters is out this month.

As regular listeners will know, Harry loves nothing more than banging on endlessly about his commute to and from work, and specifically the joys of his train journeys. At this stage he's pretty much a train spotter, if we're being honest with ourselves. Well, this week we're indulging in this huge passion of his by diving into the world of the commuter and picking some classic to help get you through. If the next hour or so doesn't make the Northern Line bearable, then nothing will. A big, huge, enormous thank you to every one of you for tuning in, and we'll see you next week.

From Blyth to Barrow to as far north as we can drag Lincoln, this week's show is dedicated to the special love affair that is Non League Football up north. Managers and owners and pundits all take part.
In this episode I attempt a sonic recreation of a part of the London Underground that never got built, a stretch of the Northern Line that would have run from Moorgate to Alexandra Palace. En route I reflect on the transport infrastructure shapes our experience of the city and the difference between what engineers plan and what actually gets built.
In this episode, China Forbes, singer for Pink Martini and songwriter, discusses music, mental Illness, and saying yes. She opens the podcast with an acoustic ukulele version of “The Northern Line,” the theme song for the movie “Infinitely Polar Bear,” a film about her childhood. China explains her musical background, from her love of Donna Summer in her youth to performing in Evita during her freshman year at Harvard.
From Here to the Northern Line by Edoardo Albert. Science fiction. A boy and his dad enjoy the benefits of trainspotting as a hobby. Edoardo Albert is, on paper at least, a surprisingly exotic creature: Italian, Sinhala and Tamil by background, he grew up in London among the polyglot children of immigrants (it was only when he went to university that he actually got to know any English people). He avers that he once reduced a reader to helpless, hysterical laughter. Unfortunately, the piece that did so was a lonely-hearts ad. The first volume of his trilogy on the Dark-Age kings of Britain, The Northumbrian Thrones, is out next March from Lion Fiction, titled Edwin: High King of Britain. He lives online at www.edoardoalbert.com, on Twitter @EdoardoAlbert and Facebook too. This story first appeared in the Third Flatiron Anthology, "Astronomical Odds." It is read by Harriet Whitbread and produced by Andrew Cairns.
