That's Life with David Saunders

 

An international advocate for climate change solutions, David Saunders mostly talks about his life and passion.

But the hour begins with a history of Bristol -- a city on the east coast of England -- which is creating an ocean barrier with electricity-generating tubes. (David explains how all that works.)

There is also a description of the political entities in the British Isles.  (Here's a diagram to show you the complexities.)  And that doesn't even get into the ever-changing gerrymandered "county" boundaries!

The Folk Brothers for Oct. 26, 2022: Folk Songs of Black British Experience

Angeline Morrison, daughter of a Jamacian father and Scottish mother, has just released a landmark album, The Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience. Each track features the story of an African -- mainly brought to Britain enslaved in the 18th century -- whose life stories were poignantly resurrected through Morrison's extensive research.

This morning, we played "Black John" about John Ystumilyn, who was brought to a Welsh estate as a boy in the early 1800s and subsequently became a freeman and a respected horticulturist.
