Zadie Smith grew up in north west London and studied English at Cambridge University. After a publisher's bidding war when she was just 21, her debut novel White Teeth became a huge critical and commercial hit on publication in 2000 and won several awards including the Orange Prize, now known as the Women's Prize for Fiction, and the Whitbread first novel award. Since then, with books including On Beauty, NW and Swing Time, Zadie Smith has established herself as one of the world's most successful and popular living novelists, renowned for her witty dialogue and explorations of cultural identity, class and sexuality. Her most recent book The Fraud is her first historical novel. Zadie Smith talks to John Wilson about her upbringing in Willesden, North West London, with her Jamaican born mother and white English father. She chooses C S Lewis' The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe as an early formative influence and remembers how its themes of danger, power and betrayal were intoxicating to her as a young reader. Zadie talks about the creative influence of her husband, the poet Nick Laird, and of the cultural impact of a trip she made to west Africa in 2007 which inspired much of her 2016 novel Swing Time. She also reflects on her role as an essayist who in recent years, has increasingly written about global political and social issues.Producer: Edwina Pitman

About Bishop Rob Before his appointment as Chief Executive of CUF, Robert Wickham served as the Bishop of Edmonton since September 2015. He was a Curate in the Parish Church of Willesden, a Team Vicar in the Parish of Old St Pancras, with a particular responsibility for St Mary's Somers Town, and then for nine years as Rector of St John at Hackney, latterly becoming Area Dean of Hackney. Rob grew up in suburban Surrey, and attended Hampton School. He then went to University in Durham, where he studied geography, especially urban regeneration, and perceptual geography. He then studied for ordination at Ridley Hall, Cambridge. Since ordination Rob has completed an MA in Theology, Politics and Faith Based organisations from King's College. His thesis, now published, was based upon the political theology of Joshua Watson, the great Church Schools pioneer from the eighteenth century. In addition, a period of study leave led Rob to write a theological thesis on the creative use of church buildings. Indeed, whilst Rector of Hackney, the Church of St John at Hackney was reordered so that most aspects of Hackney life could be experienced, from concerts by Coldplay, Gary Barlow and Emilie Sande, jobs fairs, credit unions, to the most used knife amnesty bin in London. The reordering led to a reordering of its relationship with the local community, which became so needed in the aftermath of the disturbances in 2011.

Neil and Chris make way to Willesden, North London to see if The Best Broasted lives up to its boastful name. They certainly didn't find fault with the broasted chicken and shawarma they devoured. While there, the duo recorded another … Continue reading →

"El Hombre de los Relojes" (en inglés The Story of the Man With the Watches) es un relato corto escrito por Arthur Conan Doyle en 1898. Pertenece a la serie Round the Fire de The Strand Magazine. Es un día lluvioso y horrible en Londres en marzo de 1892, y se ve a dos figuras apresurándose para tomar el expreso de las cinco en punto desde la estación de Euston hacia Manchester. Uno es un hombre alto de unos cincuenta años, cuyos rasgos están ocultos por el cuello de Astracán vuelto hacia arriba de su abrigo. Su compañera es una joven alta, su rostro oscurecido por un velo. Rechazan un compartimento para fumadores cuyo único ocupante, un hombre barbudo de mediana edad, se ve claramente afectado por su repentina aparición. Intenta hablar, pero sus palabras se pierden en el ruido del tren que sale. Se detiene brevemente en Willesden a las 5:12 pm, y luego nuevamente en Rugby a las 6:50 pm, donde la puerta abierta de un carruaje de primera clase llama la atención. Los tres pasajeros ahora han desaparecido, y en su carruaje está el cuerpo de un joven que recibió un disparo en el corazón. No hay pista de su identidad pero, curiosamente, posee seis valiosos relojes de oro, todos de fabricación estadounidense... Se escribió en 1898 cuando Conan Doyle necesitaba fondos para completar Undershaw, su casa familiar privada en Surrey. Además, escribió las doce historias de Round the Fire entre el 13 de marzo y el 5 de octubre de 1898, con un total de 76.000 palabras en siete meses. Round the Fire se publicó en serie en The Strand Magazine desde junio de 1898, siendo esta la segunda historia y "El tren especial desaparecido" la tercera.

You might know Ben Bailey Smith better as Doc Brown, an actor, comedian, rapper and screen writer. Ben was born to a Jamaican mother and English father in Willesden, north west London, his older sister is the celebrated writer Zadie Smith. He started rapping when he was 15, competing in Rap Battles in the early 2000's, and became a successful stand up comedian. His acting talents have appeared in huge tv series like Channel 4's Inbetweeners and Derek, to BBC's Doctor Who, The Split and Damilola, Our Loved Boy to name but a handful. Often his comedy, music and acting talents overlap; he's very good at all of these things so why wouldn't he often combine them. In his podcast Shrink the Box, Ben and psychotherapist Sasha Bates analyse fictional tv characters like Omar from the Wire and Ross from Friends, trying to figure out why they are as they are.

Tonight is opening night of the New York premiere of author Zadie Smith's debut play, "The Wife of Willesden." The play is a modern adaptation of an excerpt of one of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, The Wife of Bath's Tale. After a debut run in London in 2021, the play comes to BAM, directed by Indhu Rubasingham and starring Clare Perkins as Alvita, a middle-aged Jamaican woman living in England who decides to tell her life story to a group of strangers in a North West London pub. "The Wife of Willesden" is showing at BAM's Harvey Theater until April 16.

Today on Boston Public Radio, live from the Boston Public Library: South Carolina lawyer Alex Murdaugh was found for guilty of the murder of his wife and son. We opened the phone lines to hear from listeners about their thoughts on the verdict. Shirley Leung discusses Healey's tax proposal, Wu's plan to revitalize downtown Boston, and the new leadership at MassBio and John Hancock. Callie Crossley discusses Melvin B. Miller passing the torch over at the Bay State Banner, Brian Flores' discrimination case against the NFL, diverse casting in Disney's Peter Pan remake, and her excitement for the return of McDonald's Shamrock Shake and her love for Breakfast all day. James Bennett II talks Cocaine Bear, Academy Award categories that deserve more recognition, A.R.T's “The Wife of Willesden,” a women in cartography exhibit on the BPL, and the Celebrity Series of Boston Jazz Festival. Vincent Pastore who played “Big Pussy” on the Sopranos joins to reflect on the show before his Sopranos Q&A with a few other cast members at the Boch Shubert Theater. St. Patrick's Celtic Sojourn peformed live for Live Music Friday this week. This included Brian and Lindsay O'Donovan, guitarist Keith Murphy and fiddle player Katie McNally. We ended the show by asking listeners if they would consider living on Life at Sea Cruises for just $30,000 a year with all expenses included. That's around the average price of living in a studio apartment in Boston but the difference is you'd be sailing all around the world.

We first spoke to Marion Turner, an English professor at Oxford University, in 2019, about her award-winning biography of Geoffrey Chaucer. In her latest book, The Wife of Bath: A Biography, Turner paints an unconventional portrait of Chaucer's most famous—and clearly favorite—character: a bawdy, middle-aged, middle-class woman of multiple marriages. Alison of Bath is but one of the pilgrims Chaucer gathers around the table in his Canterbury Tales, but she is the only one to have inspired everyone from Shakespeare to James Joyce to Zadie Smith—and an equal number of misogynist critics, whether they were writing on vellum or in a 20th-century academic journal. Turner joins us on the podcast to discuss the Wife of Bath in her time and beyond, and why her voice still rings out with such force today.Go beyond the episode:Marion Turner's The Wife of Bath: A BiographyListen to our previous interview with Turner about Geoffrey Chaucer's lifeWatch Jean “Binta” Breeze perform her adaptation of Chaucer's tale, “The Wife of Bath in Brixton Market”Read Zadie Smith's play, The Wife of Willesden (which you can see performed this month with its original star if you happen to find yourself in Cambridge, Massachusetts)Read Patience Agbabi's poem “The Wife of Bafa” or watch her perform it at the modern version of the Tabard Inn—a breweryTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Zadie Smith is unquestionably one of the finest novelists of her generation, but you may not know that she's also now a playwright - albeit by accident. In part one of her conversation with Jonny, we find out the treachery she was subjected to after turning her back on a talent show's judges to sing a Whitney Houston track to a wall, her retirement plan involving a fusion of jazz standards, comfortable clothing and literary gossip, and how she reimagined one of literature's raunchiest feminist icons from the middle ages into a 21st century Willesden pub.

How did the murder of George Floyd confront us with the reality of racism and its impact? How does theology tell stories that recognise the intrinsic value of each human story? What is the concept of Afrofuturism and how might it help us think theologically about God's future? And how can we walk within a hope which is characterised by Black flourishing and not struggle?In today's show we are talking to Right Reverend Lusa Nsenga-Ngoy, who is Bishop of Willesden. Bishop Lusa was previously Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic Mission and Ministry Enabler in the Diocese of Leicester and was a member of the Church of England's Anti-Racism Taskforce.

Yes, we're in distinguished company this time, with the rather splendid Bishop Pete Broadbent.  Former long-standing Bishop of Willesden, currently helping to shape the vision for the Diocese of London, life-long Spurs fan, and proponent of the Punjabi Picnic.  Charming tales of balmy childhood summers watching cricket, the joys of real ale and a glimpse into what it's like to oversee 108 churches.  A really interesting chat, with many Take A Pew chuckles along the way.

Luther Blissett is an English footballing legend, and one of the greatest players this country has ever produced, but the beautiful game isn't his only true love. Luther's other lifelong passion is cars. From his early days growing up in Willesden, Northwest London when he and his brother used to buy cars on the cheap, take them apart and rebuild them, Luther is an unapologetic petrolhead, especially when the mention of an electric future is raised! He's owned an eclectic collection of classics over the years, and talking of classics, Luther finally tells the story of the day he had that now infamous accident in a Morgan at the Silverstone Classic!

The Children of Willesden Lane is a multi-layered programme that was presented this past week in collaboration with the Cape Town and Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centres. The programme was devised by the concert pianist MONA GOLABEK, whose book called The Children of Willesden is the moving story of her mother, Lisa Jura. Lisa was one of more than 10,000 Jewish children brought to England during World War 2 as part of the kindertransport – a mission to rescue children threatened by the Nazis.

Estoy viviendo en el recuerdo de una ventana. Donde quiera que esconda la ventana, estarán esperando. 🖋️Un relato escrito por China Miéville, narrado por Olga Paraíso y producido por Historias para ser leídas. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHINA MIÉVILLE (Inglaterra, 1972) es escritor, político y profesor. Nació en Norwich, aunque creció en Willesden, un barrio de clase trabajadora al noroeste de Londres, donde reside desde su infancia. Está considerado uno de los fundadores de la corriente de la literatura fantástica conocida como new weird, caracterizada por no seguir las estrictas reglas de la ciencia ficción y mezclar cultura pop, magia, steampunk y monstruos mitológicos. Ha recibido los galardones más prestigiosos dentro del género fantástico como el Hugo o el Locus. Ha ganado tres veces el premio Arthur C. Clarke y dos veces el British Fantasy y, desde 2015, es miembro de la Real Sociedad de Literatura británica. Puedes comprar sus libros en Amazon: https://www.amazon.es/China-Mi%25C3%25A9ville/e/B001IQUN20?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1627039269&sr=1-1 📘Influencias literarias: Su trabajo puede describirse como fantástico por sus mundos y escenarios sobrenaturales. Se ha discutido su trabajo en relación a las categorías de ciencia ficción, fantasía y "surrealismo urbano"12​. El estilo de Miéville se reconoce influenciado por la ciencia ficción pulp de los años 20, tanto de series de televisión como de películas, así como por diversos escritores de terror y fantasía.

What will you be doing on Sunday afternoon? You could look to Cornwall where the G7 will draw to a close and a group of young Christians will meet at Truro Cathedral. There they will bless a wicker boat to be carried in relay to Glasgow in time for the UN Climate Change Conference in October. Edward Stourton asks if they can really hope to change minds with the trip and finds out why they're carrying the boat. Or maybe you'll spend your Sunday afternoon doing something else entirely. As England takes to the pitch for its first Euros encounter, Edward speaks to the Bishop of Willesden who includes Wembley in his diocese. How does this football loving cleric feel about the Euro's theme song which talks about broken churches and broken dreams. Is football the only answer? Also in the programme, the race against time to save some extraordinary murals in a London Church. The now flaking paintings are by the German Jewish artist Hans Freibusch who was exhibited in Hitler's infamous "degenerate art" exhibition of 1937. As a refugee in the UK, he was commissioned by the Church of England and painted more murals than any other artist in the church's history. And Edward hears from a survivor of the Children of God cult that began in the counter culture of late 1960s America but spread throughout the world. It came to be known as The Family and was dogged by allegations of child abuse and psychological manipulation. Followers believed that God was love and love was sex, so there should be no limits, regardless of age. Faith Morgan joins Edward to talk about her memoir of her upbringing in the sect and eventual escape at the age of 19.

In this episode, Melina interviews Michelle Codrington-Rogers, the first (known) Black female president in British teacher trade union history. Michelle shares with us her journey from truly knowing herself thanks to Saturday schools, to getting hooked to activism as the Black Students Officer, and rising even higher in the teacher trade union ranks in the midst of a global pandemic and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. Michelle is a Black British queer teacher of citizenship and PSHE at a large secondary school in Oxford. As a teacher, she first became a member of the NASUWT – the Teacher's Union which is the only UK-wide union exclusively for teachers. In the NASUWT, Michelle started off as a school rep, then a local secretary and Oxfordshire Federation secretary. In 2011, she was elected to the Trade Union Congress (TUC) Race Relations Committee and she chaired the annual TUC Black Workers' Conference in 2018. Also in 2018, Michelle was elected as a national officer for the NASUWT and, in April 2020, she became the first Black President in the union's 101-year history. Some of those special people (that Michelle didn't want to embarrass!) who kept those doors open for Michelle and more to continue rising: NASUWT General Secretary Dr Patrick Roach, NASUWT National Officer for Equality and Training Jennifer Moses, NASUWT Birmingham Local Association Secretary Ava Verrier, and many more...

I mean, if a bloke can play the piano, you don't stop him playing it, do you?"His long career stretches from the early days of modernism to the digital age. One of his first big jobs was working for the Festival of Britain in 1951.

Jayaben Desai, defied stereotyping all her life. "A person like me, I am never scared of anybody," she told managers at the Grunwick film processing plant in Willesden, London shortly before she led a walkout in August 1976. Desai and her co workers were dubbed "strikers in saris" by the media but she went on to lead a campaign which eventually led to a respect for immigrant workers and a recognition of the very long hours and low wages they were prepared to tolerate. The New Elizabethans have been chosen by a panel of leading historians, chaired by Lord (Tony) Hall, Chief Executive of London's Royal Opera House.

They were asked to choose: "Men and women whose actions during the reign of Elizabeth II have had a significant impact on lives in these islands and/or given the age its character, for better or worse."
