THIS PROG: In the first of three interviews I recorded on my recent trip to The Old Country, I talk to my good friend, ex-neighbour and academic, Dr James Kneale.
He’s a lecturer in Geography at University College London, so I went to his archetypal academic’s office (piles of books, students knocking on the door*, dying spider plants) to talk to him about his work, his side-project music blog, and the news of the day.
