“Home is the place…” is said by one of the people in the poem.

Glad to hear #LaurieTaylor again.

I’ve never read any of his stuff.

Hearing him on the radio is quite enough.

They gave him the slot usually occupied by Laurie Taylor #ThinkingAllowed.

Is Laurie still around?

Not at all Dan. Heard you discuss it on #ThinkingAllowed & ordered via local indy bookshop. Trying to engage my old uni mates with it. @jayneeegerton.bsky.social

Thinking Allowed - Dogs - BBC Sounds Laurie Taylor on the history of keeping dogs as pets and the politics of dog-human links.

Are dogs really meant to live with us? 🐕

On Thinking Allowed, our Dr Mariam Motamedi Fraser explores how dogs became modern companions and asks if the ‘natural bond’ we feel is as it seems.

I’m very pleased this morning as I have realised that it is possible to get transcripts of my favourite @BBCRadio4 programmes if they appear on the apple podcasts app! #ThinkingAllowed; #StarttheWeek; #InOurTime.

Listening to #BBC #ThinkingAllowed on #Radio4 at moment a woman is on complaining people expect mothers to dedicate themselves to their children. Seriously, I wonder about female intellectual thinkers. No one is forcing women to have children if they don't want them.

Thinking Allowed - Smoking - BBC Sounds Smoking in modern Britain and the Soviet Union.

Another great episode from Laurie, ⁦‪Jayne‬⁩ & team. This one reminded me about the perfume related one about the USSR & the West. #ThinkingAllowed I’m going to have to re-listen but that is never, ever a bad thing!!

[[[as I write, I can hear myself reflecting: re-presenting #StartifiedOntology & interdisciplinary #complexity using sequential language such as 'firstly, secondly, etc', is an oxyMORON, like squaring a circle. If I have to square it retrospectively, it'll be a mess]]]

It’s rather obvious that the people you talk to don’t know anyone who was seriously injured in an adventure playground in the 1940s/1950s.

I wonder if Marc Benioff had to pay a million to Trump AND give him the front cover … or was man o’ the year sufficient? #ThinkingAllowed #ThinkingAloud

maybe I'm wrong about construing it like this #ThinkingAllowed

Meme-generated image of 2 cows in a yoke, each representing good and bad writing, pulling along a cart that represents 'academia' to illustrate/explore the idea that when it comes to academic writing, the tail (the writing) wags the dog (university).

(I'm trying to say something like this, for which I'm finding a meme-generator (meme-generator.com) more adept. I'm sure this relies on #AI, too, but not the 'generative' sort (correct?), the kind that promises to 'understand' or even tell you what you are thinking)

#ThinkingAloud #ThinkingAllowed

Hoots! The academic in full flow about haggis etc on @BBCRadio4 #ThinkingAllowed sounds like a robot PhD candidate auditioning for #JustAMinute. #Breathe!

Another fascinating edition of #ThinkingAllowed on @BBCRadio4, which propelled me over to buy (sorry) the Kindle edition of Prof Dick Hobbs' book:
