The Essay – On Excess Ep 5/5
Monday 15 to Friday 19 September
11.00-11.15pm BBC RADIO 3 |
|
|
|
|
Psychotherapist Adam Phillips concludes his series on excess by examining excessive religious belief – what makes us think a belief is excessive and how we define it.
Touching on greed and poverty and how consumer culture educates in excess, Adam looks at how people are haunted by extremists – fascists, racists, fundamentalists, psychotics, millionaires and celebrities – and, he suggests, are virtually hypnotised by them. He asks what it would take to break the spell and makes a few suggestions.

Simon Williams narrates as PG Woodhouse in four episodes of Psmith In The City, adapted for radio by Marcy Kahan.
Suddenly impoverished, Mike is forced to forego university and a sparkling sporting future and take a lowly job at a City bank. But help is at hand; his indomitably suave and resourceful old school friend Psmith has been sent there too. So begins a battle of wits between Psmith and the City, and wit has always been Psmith's strongest suit.
Psmith carries solid, lovable Mike in his wake as he seduces the severe Head Of Post by scrupulous attention to the deeds of Manchester United. He subdues the tyrannical MD of the bank by haunting him at his club and disrupting political meetings as he attempts to get elected. And when Mike takes the blame for a mistake made by the kindly socialist Head Of Cash, Psmith is at his finest as he weaves a web of blackmail to save him with impeccable insouciance.

When a policeman shoots dead a member of the public – whether he's a dangerous criminal or an innocent bystander – it always makes the news. But for the officer in question, the story never goes away.
Michael Butt's drama tells the story of John Woolf, an officer in an armed unit, an experienced man who has been involved in many serious operations. But one was special. When an apparently sympathetic journalist embarks on an in-depth interview with him, she makes some unexpected discoveries and gets a lot more than she bargained for.

Bruce asks Kiuas why their home country has become such a hotbed for metal activity and how their culture has shaped their most recent album.
Kiuas are currently touring the UK with Firewind and further European dates are planned for November.

Heart And Soul – Men Who Veil
Friday 19 September
3.30-4.00pm BBC WORLD SERVICE |

Amid the furore caused particularly in the West by the issue of Muslim women and the veil, it is often forgotten that there is also a tradition of men covering their faces. BBC World Service listeners have another chance to hear this episode of Heart And Soul, in which Navid Akhtar meets Tuareg men from North Africa, where the veil is regarded as a symbol of maturity that, in the past, protected them from evil spirits.
The Hadiths (oral traditions) of the Prophet Muhammed refer to men wearing the veil, and veiling is still practised by some male followers of Sufism.
In the ancient religion of Jainism, both men and women cover their faces when entering their temple's inner sanctum. Navid talks to men of different faiths about what the veil means to them.
