Saturday 7th July Weekend Edition

Another busy Weekend Edition on Saturday 6th of July coming up. News on the hour, every hour as well as a rustle through the international papers and a selection from our global playlist between 8 and 9. The Curator, highlighting the best bits from the week follows and then The Stack, with a package on Vanity Fair launching in France and a focus on typography. At 11, London time, I’ll be playing some music that is joining our playlist – and as well as a few jazzy pieces from Japan, look out for some classic disco. The Review brings recommendations for books, music and a to do list if you find yourself in Bilbao this weekend and then at around 14.15 London time, 9.15 in New York, John Burnham Schwartz, the American writer, will be telling me how his parent’s divorce inspired Meryl Streep in Kramer v Kramer and how Dustin Hoffman used to read his school books out aloud to him. We’ll also explore his own work, including the hit novel and now film, Revolutionary Rd and the Sun Valley Writers Conference, one of America’s primary literary events. Tune in if you can….
