Eugene V Debs
Reginald D Hunter selects Eugene V Debs
Great LivesEugene Victor Debs, born 1855 in Indiana USA, was a railway worker, a trade unionist and a five time candidate for the presidency. He was imprisoned during the First World War for sedition. He'd urged resistance to the draft; President Woodrow Wilson called him a traitor to the nation, but Debs still ran for the presidency in 1920. His sentence was commuted the following year.
Reginald D Hunter is an American stand-up comedian based in the UK. His many credits include Have I Got News For You and Reginald D Hunter's Songs of the South. Last year at Edinburgh his show Fluffy Fluffy Beavers briefly became headline news. In studio with Reginald and presenter Matthew Parris is Professor Clive Webb, author of Vietdamned.

(interesting 👍 one for community and arts radio enthusiasts - listened to half of this while shopping on Saturday night)
Resonance FM: The Art of Listening
Archive on 4Comedian and writer Stewart Lee explores the founding ideas and extraordinary archive of Resonance FM, the UK’s greatest radio art station.
The summer of 1998 - a new guerrilla radio station, broadcast from an attic on London’s South Bank, with a tiny crew and an unsteady aerial, mixed improvised music, endless birdsong and angry pensioners demanding their rights with experimental comedy, polyglot children’s programming, circuit bending and the heady whiff of full broadcasting freedom.Nearly thirty years and several precarious office spaces later it is still broadcasting and now reaches the entire world – a beacon of brilliance and an ongoing work of radio art in its own right.
Resonance platforms the unplatformed. Broadcasts the unbroadcastable. An audio outgrowth of a radical creative underground, it also pioneered the idea of community radio in the UK as a space where outside voices could find a platform - from devotees of Congolese dance music to Calling All Pensioners, where a reformed bank robber yelled angrily about senior citizen rights. From the beginning it’s been committed to the idea of what its founders called ‘radical hospitality’ – that anyone with a good idea can have a spot. Resonance is an ongoing invitation.
Having fronted several shows for the station over the years, Stewart meets Resonance broadcasters past and present, its founders and current visionaries; its constituency of artists, musicians and comedians; its brilliant volunteers and engineers, and dives into the station’s extraordinary archive.

Debt and Wealth Inequality
Thinking AllowedWhat does an 18-month study of residents on a housing estate in southern England tell us about living with debt? Laurie Taylor talks to Ryan Davey from Cardiff University about his new book The Personal Life of Debt - Coercion, Subjectivity and Inequality in Britain, which tries to understand how debt affects people emotionally as well as economically.
Laurie is also joined by Sarah Kerr (LSE International Inequalities Institute), whose book, Wealth, Poverty and Enduring Inequality - Let’s Talk Wealtherty, investigates the stubborn persistence of inequality in the UK. Kerr argues that the gap between top and bottom earners has become entrenched and normalised across generations.

Howard Luck Gossage
The Socrates of San Francisco
Archive on 42025-01-07 2000-2100
In a former Fire Station in 1960s San Francisco, there's a party going on, involving some of the most celebrated writers, artists, thinkers and musicians of the age. There's John Steinbeck, chatting to architect Buckminster Fuller; Marshall McLuhan is over in the corner telling another of his bad jokes to a young Joan Rivers and Tom Wolfe is talking to fellow author and Merry Prankster, Ken Kesey, who's hanging out at the bar with the Grateful Dead.
How did all these people come together in one place? The answer lies with a reluctant advertising innovator, an instigator of ideas, an agitator and a mentor - Howard Luck Gossage. The man who came to be known as ‘The Socrates of San Francisco’.
Howard Gossage was an advertising man first and foremost, a preternatural marketing and propaganda genius – but he was so much more. Defiantly independent, he both proved to be one of the industry’s most inventive innovators, astute prophets – and often its greatest critic.
A vocal thorn in the industry’s side, Howard operated the agency out of the supposed advertising backwater of San Francisco – a continent away from the Mad Men of Madison Avenue. And yet its influence is still felt around the world.
But upending the world of advertising was never going to be enough for Howard. He always felt that “changing the world is the only fit work for a grown man”. And so, in the mid-1960s, he set about to do just that. Among his many madcap adventures, Howard saved the Grand Canyon from being flooded for profit, tried to start a revolution in the Caribbean, discovered "the Patron-Saint of the Internet", Marshall McLuhan, and helped to create Friends of the Earth.
In this intriguing tale, celebrated West Coast advertising executive Jeff Goodby, whose own work and ethos has been profoundly influenced by Gossage, explores his life and legacy, which even today exerts its influence on advertising campaigns and agencies all around the world. "He was the inspiration behind the foundation of my agency and taught me about the positive impact advertising could have for society, to do more than just sell, that it can also build communities and drive change".
Presented by Jeff Goodby
Produced by Ashley Pollak and James King
Assistant Producer: Emma Stackhouse
Executive Producer: Rami Tzabar
