2016-02-21: Jarvis talks about last week's BBC 6 Music Festival; and tells us that artist Elizabeth Peyton is in the studio painting him at work. The first Polaroid camera was revealed today in 1947. We hear the traits of Pisces. As David Foster Wallace was born on this day, Jarvis reads excerpts from This Is Water, a speech that he made in 2005 about living a compassionate life. There's a section about the humble telephone, in honour of the first phone directory being issued this day in 1878. Today in 1958, the CND peace symbol was designed. And with the Brit Awards approaching, Jarvis recalls the notorious 1996 ceremony and tells us how David Bowie intervened to restore his reputation. Plus, what piece of music scared or unsettled the listeners when we were children? Birthdays: Johnny Echols, Douglas Bader, WH Auden (Lindsay Duncan recites Stop All the Clocks), Matthew Herbert, Léo Delibes, Alan Rickman (reciting Shakespeare's Sonnet 130) and Jean-Jacques Burnel.
