The Matts speak with Misan Harriman, the chair of Britain's largest arts and culture institution, the Southbank Centre. Misan has been under persistent attack from much of the UK's right wing media - all for something he didn't say. It's an extraordinary and ugly case study in how the press in Britain work. But, perhaps, in Misan Harriman they've bitten off more than they can chew. Enjoy the podcast - but prepare to have your blood boil.Produced by Matt WithersOFFER: Get The New World for just £1 for the first month.

Today's Real Take comes from a powerful conversation I recorded in October 2024 with photographer, filmmaker and activist Misan Harriman.Misan is Chair of ​cultural hub, the Southbank Centre, an ambassador for Save the Children, and one of the most compassionate and courageous voices speaking up about injustice and inequality in the world today. Through his photography, filmmaking and activism, he has consistently used his platform to amplify voices that are too often ignored​; especially concerning children​.Over the past number of weeks, Misan has been the target of what many believe is a deeply disturbing smear campaign by sections of the UK press.I stand with Misan.If you would like to support him, please consider adding your name to th​is ​​Petition To listen to the full conversation with Misan from October 2024, search ​'Misan Harriman: Bridge Building​' wherever you get your podcasts.

A fairly quiet Sunday then, with nothing too eventful happening in the Premier League.Musa and Ryan begin with a quick chat about Arsenal's 1-0 win over West Ham (03:52) at the London Stadium, which had a big impact at the top and bottom of the table. Yes, they also chat about that decision, but probably less than it's been discussed elsewhere.They then head onto the main topic, which is Barcelona's 2-0 win in the Clásico (16:20), to secure a successive La Liga title and to make a very difficult Real Madrid week even worse. They praise the job Hansi Flick has done at Barça, as well as the players who have brought the club out of one of the most chaotic periods of its recent history. There's also a bit about what on earth is going on at Real Madrid.Finally, Venezia won Serie B this weekend (50:21), thanks to a 2-0 win over Palermo on Friday.

Some of the most exciting dance music around right now is coming out of Baltimore.Reenergised by a younger generation of artists putting a fresh spin on the Baltimore Club sound, the city is producing stacks of great new records – and we keep hearing dazzled on-the-ground reports from our cool DJ friends (yes, we have them!) about the shows they've played there.Kade Young and JIALING are two of the central figures in the city's new school, known for running events and releasing a stream of club bangers via their label WOE. They had plenty to tell us about why Baltimore is the real engine room of US dance music right now, and why its importance remains undersung. As well as clueing us into the local scene in 2026, they offered an insider perspective on the last 20 years of Baltimore Club.We also managed to record the entire episode without making a joke about The Wire, so well done us. (Come at JIALING, you best not miss.)Before that, for this show's intro, we offer our recent scene reports: Tom's trip to see Tony Njoku's All Our Knives are Always Sharp at the Southbank Centre, and Chal mucking in at the SMUT Press night at the Distillery.We also tackle the elephant in the big room: Fred Again and Thomas Bangalter's back-to-back at Alexandra Palace. Was this an event for the ages? Should the man behind ‘Club Soda' be lowering himself to making mash-ups with a bloke with eight hyperlinked family members on Wikipedia?

Season 27 begins! This new season is hosted by Robert Diament.Robert meets Holly Blakey, one of the foremost choreographers of her generation and one of the few female choreographers in the UK creating large-scale work.Her practice attends to the honest entanglements of embodied vulnerability, grief, and joy, always rooted in an intersectional feminist frame. Her live performance work has been presented at Southbank Centre, Hales Gallery and Théâtre National de Chaillot.As a director and choreographer, she has collaborated with artists including Robyn (for her new Sexistential album), Rosalía, Harry Styles, Celeste, and Florence + The Machine, and with fashion houses such as Vivienne Westwood, Burberry and Dior, and in films including Urchin (2025) directed by Harris Dickinson and Harvest directed by Athina Tsangari, interweaving live and commercial contexts, much of her practice often plays on the relationship between these distinct but not wholly separable worlds.We explore her 2026 collaboration with the Rambert dance company, as well as a new collaboration with artist Tai Shani, her 2025 ambitious double bill (for the Southbank Centre) titled Phantom, and A Wound with Teeth, which took her choreography to a new level of intensity, intimacy and international visibility. Holly Blakey's new full-length work Lo will premiere in 2026. Both works develop Blakey's fascination with social and folk dance forms, which began with her use of line dance in the Cowpuncher series and continues into Phantom and Lo with exploration of collective responsibility and euphoria through this form. For the first time, they both begin from a highly personal place and are developed through close collaboration with the dancers, drawing on their own experiences of grief and estrangement on the one hand, and pleasure and self-assertion on the other.A Wound with Teeth:How can loss of memory be a site of potential? In this excerpt from the new full-length work, Lo, Blakey uses her own experience of forgetting to create a work that questions our ability to remember, and also to imagine and invent, at the border of the rational and the irrational. In a world that is sometimes terrifying and perverse, fighting for our own survival also means creating stories, and our own monsters and beasts.Phantom:Carried by ten dancers engaged in a choreography on the verge of ritual, Holly Blakey explores with tenderness, honesty and strength a particularly painful episode of her personal journey: her miscarriage. In collaboration with Emma Chopova and Laura Lowena, creators of the Chopova Lowena brand and on a composition by the musician Gwilym Gold.We also learn about her work in film including Harvest (2024) directed by Athina Rachel Tsangari, where the entire movie revolved around choregraphy and movement.Follow @HollyTBlakey and visit https://www.hollyblakey.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.

Apologies for the late show today, but we're finally here to chat all about another big weekend in the Premier League title race, which saw Manchester City come from behind to win away at Liverpool, for only the second time under Pep Guardiola. After shout outs for the WSL, PSG v Marseille and a few other results (04:21), Musa and Ryan head to Anfield (11:23), which saw another unbelievable free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai give Liverpool the lead, a great comeback and the world being cruelly robbed of one of the silliest goals of the modern era.That meant the gap was the same at the top as before the weekend, following Arsenal's impressive 3-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday (30:52). Elsewhere, Aston Villa dropped more points, Manchester United may never lose again, Crystal Palace ended their winless streak and Cole Palmer scored another first half hat-trick.In Germany, Bayern and Dortmund teased a title race (48:13) and St. Pauli got a much needed win.

Bach's music turns up everywhere from cigar ads to horror films. You can probably hum bits of Bach even if you're not a classical fan. But what makes his music so popular and why is he still so influential 300 years on? To celebrate The Bach Choir's 150th Anniversary, we've made three special episodes all about Bach and his best-known compositions. This time our host and Musical Director, David Hill, is joined by BBC Radio 3's Linton Stephens to talk about six of Bach's most famous pieces. Along the way they tackle musical taboos (why can't most classical musicians improvise?), classical music wrangles (did Bach actually write the Toccata and Fugue?), and great stories (why did Bach once threaten a bassoonist with a sword?). Plus, we hear from some of our friends - including superstar organist and broadcaster Anna Lapwood - about their favourite Bach pieces.Want to see the video version of this podcast?

Today, it's six metres tall, alive with insects, birds, bats, and its own cooling microclimate.Recorded entirely on location, we talk about:how a 130 m² pocket forest transformed one of London's hardest urban landscapesurban acupuncture and why small interventions can have outsized ecological impactthe Miyawaki method and forest succession at speedecoacoustics and what sound can tell us about biodiversity returningwhat this forest proves about nature's ability to rebound when given space—above and below groundYou'll hear drilling, footsteps, and the city all around us—because this forest doesn't exist outside the city, but right in the middle of it.A reflective bonus episode to close out a beautiful Season 6 of the Internet of Nature Podcast.Follow SUGi's work at @sugiproject on Instagram.
