Gerry Northam chooses his 大象传媒 Radio highlights from the past week.
Conflict and its resolution are themes this week. We hear four farmers who've come together across the once genocidal divide in Rwanda to record music, and a seasoned negotiator tries to reconcile the Israeli Prime Minister with his sworn enemy - the leader of Hamas.
Gerry also explores the haunting power of The Last Post and its American counterpart Taps; and marvels at the flight of a goshawk and the athletic prowess of the human flea. And one of the biggest laughs of the week comes from Andy Hamilton on Just a Minute.
The pick of the 大象传媒 Radio iPlayer is Jeremy Thorpe: The Silent Conspiracy
Producer: Stephen Garner

The professor's summary of events ranging from The Big Bang, through civilisation, agriculture, etc., through to space travel and digital communication was outstanding.

The Why Factor - 'Gardens' 大象传媒 Radio 4 Wednesday 10th November
Enjoyed the section about a Guantanamo Bay internee finding ways to garden, using broom handles to pound the earth, plastic spoons to scrape holes and planting pips and seeds saved from their food! The sheer determination and ingenuity shown in finding a way to create a small space to grow things was quite inspiring

Very Moving words from Saddiq

The Why Factor on Gardens is a beautiful programme. The section on bacteria explained to me why I find myself smiling involuntarily as soon as I get down to the earth and start weeding. I've so often wondered about this. Please play that section or the one about the gardening at Guantanamo.
Claire.
