What makes you a heretic? Journalist Andrew Gold believes that, in an age of group-think and tribes, we need heretics - those who use unconventional wisdom to speak out against their own groups, from cancelled comedians and radical feminists to cult defectors and vigilantes hunting deviants.
Learn from my guests how to rebel, think differently and resist social contagion. From Triggernometry's Francis Foster and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to Robbie Williams and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders. -
Did you know that Robert Burns was the first person to feature on a Coca Cola bottle? Or that a book of his poems has orbited the earth 217 times? And he NEVER signed his name as Rabbie?

Listen, laugh, and maybe even learn something new with Alastair Turnbull and guests.

The story of the spiritual years of the Bauhaus in Weimar. How does it feel to witness your work slip from collective memory? Gertrud Grunow, the only female teacher during the early years of the Bauhaus in Weimar, worked with male colleagues who depended upon her research to underpin their own teachings. Bring Again the Now of Then finds Gertrud in her study as she collects piles of papers comprising a lifetime’s work. As she files, reminiscing of her time at the Bauhaus, the story of the school’s early years unfolds. It was an environment of artists, spiritualists, designers, philosophers and opinionated students in a society of revolutionaries, reactionaries, communists, conservatives, and nationalists. Sensing her time is near an end, Gertrud is eager to publish a manuscript of her works and avoid a fate worse than death: to be framed within a solitary photograph without due context.

A podcast on the history (and future) of calligraphy, penmanship, hand writing, lettering and much more. Hosted by me, Laura Edralin!
I am on a journey to fill the gaps in my knowledge as a calligrapher, having light-hearted conversations with historians, artists, and stationery experts to discover the stories behind the pen and beneath the ink.
This is for people who love the scratch of a nib on paper, who collect notebooks they’re too afraid to use, and who wonder what our writing says about us—past, present, and future.
So, whether you're a calligraphy enthusiast, a history lover, or just curious about the stories behind the letters we write, join me for The Life of Letters.
I’m not in this alone! This new podcast is produced by fellow calligraphy lover, Heidi Cullip.
