This week Jarvis attended Richard Hawley's Other Voices event in Ireland and a Strange Boys concert in Paris. We hear Turner prize-winning audio artist Susan Philipsz singing under a bridge. It's the final BBC Seasons track. There's a seasonal story by Deb Olin Unferth called Juan the Cellphone Salesman, read by Raina Lampkins-Fielder; an excerpt from the film Key Largo; and a mention of Coronation Street's 50th anniversary. Birthdays: Frank Sinatra (with some exercise tips), Gustave Flaubert, Edvard Munch, John Osborne (comparing film vs. theatre), Bill Nighy (discussing his formative years) and Dionne Warwick.
