Who would have thought that cabbage means, ahem...more than cabbage! For a comprehensive guide to the art of the risqué food metaphor in American blues music, take a long, hard listen to RN First Bite. No double entendres though when Robert Forster visits the Weekend Arts studio; just a solid live set from a remarkable 30-year catalogue. Plus, we announce Rare Oils, an exclusive RN broadcast of some previously unheard Midnight Oil material. Read on for an anthropological view of historical change as interpreted by one our leading contemporary thinkers, Dr Genevieve Bell. And for diehards of the wireless we highly recommend a Late Night Live confab with one of radio's longest-standing employees Bob Rogers. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook for even more regular content updates, as they happen. |
