Amazing facts about the number 23 kick off the show. On This Day, the iPod was launched and the Smurfs made their first appearance; we also hear about Arthur Lyman's rigorous recording methods. At the School of Life secular sermon at Conway Hall, Miranda July discussed connecting with strangers: we hear her suggested conversation-starters. Jarvis recommends some goodies causing a stir at the BFI London Film Festival, including the documentary Lawrence of Belgravia. We keep things relaxing with some chanting, although Jarvis is loathe to shock you out of it. The listeners share their tales of mishearing Stone Roses lyrics and we finish with a few more 23 facts. Birthdays: Ang Lee, Pelé, Diana Dors (on her dreams of Hollywood), Johnny Carson, Manos Hadjidakis, Mike Harding (singing a filthy song!) and Ellie Greenwich.
