  • 52 - Episode 52- Propaganda: Power & Persuasion (Part 1 of 3)

    To round off the year, we present another multi-part series, this time on a fascinating topic that I have come to see as something of an art form. The main material being used is David Welch’s very accessible and even-handed book ‘Propaganda: Power & Persuasion, which accompanied an exhibition on the topic at the British Library in 2013.   Is propaganda good or bad? Or does it just depend on who’s propagating the information? In Part 1, we look at definitions of propaganda, some of the history of it, and we begin to build up a picture of its place in our society. Part 2 will be on its way soon   We sincerely hope you enjoy the show!

  • 49 - Episode 49- Life & How To Survive It (Part 3 of 3)

    And so we bring to an end another podcast series as we conclude our whistle-stop journey through some of the highlights of John Cleese and Robin Skynner’s very readable, entertaining and insightful book ‘Life & How To Survive It’, which is presented as an ongoing dialogue between the doctor and the intelligent layman. The topics and sub-topics this time include spiritual experiences and the various ways of achieving them, being fully alive and awake, death, mortality & aging and the difficulty of change. As you listen, perhaps you could ponder these questions: -Are we really living our lives or actually dreaming our way through them? -Why not devote the rest of your life , starting now, to improving your wellbeing and working on your development and happiness   As is the usual format, Antony picks parts from the book, reads them out and then expands on some of the points made.

  • 48 - Episode 48- Life & How To Survive It (Part 2 of 3)

    We continue our sprawling but hopefully enlightening trawl through John Cleese and Robin Skynner’s very readable, entertaining and insightful book ‘Life & How To Survive It’, which is presented as an ongoing dialogue between the doctor and the intelligent layman. One of the many strengths of the book is how it takes concepts and ideas and shows how they can be adapted to various contexts. Among the topics and sub-topics touched upon in this episode are politics, society and its many forms, the continuing quest for the keys to happiness and mental clarity, the differences between British, American and Japanese culture, myths & reality, and the relationship between religion and mental health. As is the usual format, Antony picks some interesting parts from the book, reads them out and then expands on some of the points made. Part 3 will be on its merry way soon We hope you enjoy the show!
