Hanna Stenman är tillbaka från Sydkorea och har förutom en ny fin T-shirt tankar om hur extremrika personer klär sig. Hon lanserar det svenska begreppet "Fördold förmögenhet" och det kommer fram att Mireya har träffat en miljardär. Silas Aliki fortsätter outröttligt att lära oss om nya repressiva lagar och berättar om ett nytt sätt att idka massövervakning på. Vi får lära oss vad "Chat Control" innebär och hur rätten att inte vara övervakad presenteras som något som inte går ihop med att också skydda barn mot övergrepp. Mireya Echeverria Quezada utvecklar sin senaste rant från den senaste patreonpodden och förklarar hur den vita borgerlighetens grepp om offentligheten urholkat alla samhällsdebatter.

Í Víðsjá dagsins verður sagt frá bókinni Gamlar konur detta út um glugga en hún hefur að geyma örsögur eftir rússneska rithöfundinn Danííl Kharms. Kharms fæddist í Pétursborg árið 1905 og er í seinni tíð talinn einn fremsti höfundur absúrdbókmennta í hinum vestræna heimi. Það eru þau Áslaug Agnarsdóttir og Óskar Árni Óskarsson sem þýða sögurnar, og þau verða gestir Víðsjár í dag. Þórdís Gísladóttir segir frá bókinni Mayhem: A Mamoir eftir Sigrid Rausing sem segir frá því hvernig það var að alast upp í einni af tuttugu ríkustu fjölskyldum heims sem byggði auð sinn á Tetra Pak drykkjarfernu-framleiðslu. Björn Þór Vilhjálmsson fjallar um nýútkomna ævisögu Susan Sontag eftir Benjamin Moser. Auk þess verður rifjuð verður upp 80 ára gömul ræða úr breska þinginu sem lengi verður vitnað til í sögubókum.

To celebrate forty years of Granta magazine we were joined with editor Sigrid Rausing and former editor Ian Jack.

Finns det något skrämmande (eller rentav "unheimlich") i sig med att vara fruktansvärt rik?...Andrés och Oskar talar om Tetra Pak-miljardären och Granta-förläggaren Sigrid Rausings bok "Malström. En memoar".

LÄSpodden på Helsingborgs bibliotek tipsar om några favoriter på temat ”Läst i jul och nyår” ”Svälten” av Magnus Västerbro ”En kvinnas övertygelse” av Meg Wolitzer ”Pachinko” av Min Jin Lee ”Malmström: En memoar” av Sigrid Rausing ”Ghachar ghochar” av Vivek Shanbhag ”Jag är, jag är, jag är: ett hjärtslag från döden” av Maggie O´Farrell

Sigrid Rausing is a writer, publisher and philanthropist. She’s the co-founder of Portobello books, the owner of Granta books, and the editor of Granta literary magazine, a role she says she hugely enjoys. It’s impossible though to talk about her own achievements without mentioning her Swedish family background: her grandfather founded the packaging company Tetra Pak, and his brilliant idea for the invention of waxed cardboard cartons for milk and fruit juice brought him great wealth - and has allowed his grand-daughter to found one of the biggest philanthropic organizations in this country. But the family has been marked by great tragedy too: in 2012, Sigrid’s sister-in-law Eva died of a drugs overdose and her brother, who was also an addict, was arrested for possession of drugs, and for keeping his wife’s body at home with him. In conversation with Michael Berkeley, Sigrid talks about the terrible effect of drug addiction on her family, and the guilt she and everyone around her feels about what happened. She looks back on her early career as an anthropologist, and reflects on the pleasures and challenges of editing a literary magazine. Music choices include Mozart’s clarinet concerto, Brahms’s Handel Variations, Liszt’s transcription of Schubert, and Ella Fitzgerald singing “Anything Goes”. A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3 Produced by Elizabeth Burke

Sigrid Rausings "Malström" är en gripande historia om missbrukets natur, och en lyrisk och fragmentarisk memoarbok. Vem kan hjälpa missbrukaren, uppslukad av sitt beroende, sin hunger, sitt enorma behov? Det finns ingen medicin: drogerna är medicinen. Och vem kan hjälpa missbrukarnas familjer, som så ofta får bära en del av skulden för deras självdestruktivitet? Sommaren 2012 hittas Eva Rausing död i sitt hem i London. Hon och hennes man, Hans Kristian Rausing, hade brottats med ett drogberoende i många år. Nu försöker Sigrid Rausing, förläggare och författare, förstå vad som hände med familjen. I samarbete med Albert Bonniers förlag. Från 17 oktober 2018 Jingel: Lucas Brar

Lördag den tionde maj är dramatikern Martina Montelius och diplomaten Pierre Schori på plats i Marie Lundströms studio för första träffen om den colombianske författarens roman från 1967. Så här säger programledare Marie Lundström om vad som väntar: - Jag har längtat efter att få läsa den här berättelsen i Bokcirkeln. När dödsbudet om Gabriel García Márquez kom, hade vi sedan länge bestämt att nu skulle det bli av. Efter att ha klämt många nyskrivna självbiografiska vardagsromaner, ska det bli spännande att ihop med mina toppgäster få återvända till den magiska realism jag inte läst sedan jag var tonåring. Bokcirkeln träffas tre gånger i maj i Lundströms Bokradio. Start lördag tionde maj! Skaffa boken och börja läs! Varmt välkomna är alla som lyssnar att haka på! Till första träffen ses vi runt hundra sidor in i boken, vi läser fram till kapitlet som börjar med raden: " I maj slutade kriget". Till andra träffen klämmer vi runt hundra sidor till, läser fram till kapitlet som inleds med orden: "Memes sista ferier sammanföll med sorgen efter överste Aureliano Buendías död". Till tredje träffen har vi läst ut romanen, summerar, drar egna lärdomar och säger hej då eller på återseende både till boken och varandra. Men förutom detta härliga, så träffar vi äntligen den ukrainske författaren och poeten Serhij Zjadan. Och så möter vi debutanten Sigrid Rausing, som berättar sitt om 90-tal på en gammal Kolchos i Estland. Programledare: Marie Lundström Producent: Lisa Bergström
