Peter Curran

Broadcaster Peter Curran makes his pick of the best of 大象传媒 Radio this week.

We uncover the mysteries behind the creation of one of the most popular secret agents of the 80s; how nostalgia is helping to fuel today's generational animosity; we go behind the scenes of both the small and the large screen, and slip between the pages of two Irish authors. We have a frightening ghostly encounter with the earth girls in the cellar, while Hilary Mantel loses track of time in the 16th Century. Country singer Tanya Tucker tells Dolly Parton why she's working like a mule, and the Kinks and Slade slug it out over who writes the most original songs. Plus the historical moment when two Black American athletes took a stand for freedom on the winners podium.
