Find 'Book of the Week,' and click on Listen.

But do it today or the link may be lost.

It is an essay written and read by Arundhati Roy. The female Indian Booker Prize Winner, for her book, 'The God of Small Things.'

This essay is only 15 minutes long and worth a listen for how things have changed in the last 40 years and since his famous speech, on racism all over the world.

Then go to The Top Ten list on the right of the listings page and click on number 6. Book Of The Week. This will take you to a site where King is being commemorated all this week. Each day has a different essay.

Byron with yet another sermon performed by proxy.
Radio4 needs to be listened to with far more scepticism than he gives it.
This is a good case in point.
Starts off reasonably.
Then she goes off the deep end.
Sad to hear.

Oh, Byron, Byron Byron. I thought I was going to hear something I hadn't heard already.
