BBC Radio 4 Open Book

In February our Patron Richard Blair appeared on Radio 4’s Open Book programme, presented by Mariella Frostrup, alongside Orwell estate executor, AM Heath’s Bill Hamilton, and Irish author Colum McCann. The main theme of the show was the 70th anniversary of Orwell’s death, and the continuing evolution of his legacy through the decades that have followed. You can listen to the fascinating discussion on BBC Sounds, here.
