This week Clive and Helen take on the seasonal conundrum of Happy Monday and Blue Monday, our happiest and saddest day of the year – which, according to who you believe, seem to occur on the same day – yesterday to be precise. How can this be – and is there any truth behind the pseudoscience?
We also chat to Kate Marston from Bristol’s latest arts and community cafe venture, Arts West Side in Old Market, part of the Trinity Arts community project. Helen finds out what’s on offer, while Clive asks the searching questions, such as “will there be Rocky Road in the cafe?”
And following the funeral on Sunday of RnB legend Etta James, we pay tribute to the troubled star and find out how Beyonce fell foul of her musical temper…
Don’t forget to try our just-for-fun quotational quiz, Who Said That? (which Helen announces in a stunning variety of voices…) We give you a quote from the news and ask you who said it and what were they giving an opinion on? Answers at the end of the show.
Playlist
We heard: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (Two Gunslingers); Etta James (At Last); Granddaddy (Now Its On); Richard Hawley (Serious); Nouvelle Vague (Don’t Go); Ann Peebles (I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down).
