Today’s episode in our occasional series with historian Robert Saunders on significant political anniversaries looks at the event that blew British politics apart at the start of 1886. The ‘Hawarden Kite’ – when William Gladstone’s son Herbert floated the idea that his father had committed to Irish Home Rule – split the Liberal party, upended political allegiances and set the country on the path to potential civil war. How did it happen? Why were passions running so high on the question of Ireland? And how does it all compare to Brexit?
Out tomorrow on PPF+: Part 2 of David’s conversation with Robert in which they take the story of the fight over Irish Home Rule up to the crisis of 1912-1914. How close did Britain come to an actual civil war? To get this and all our bonus episodes plus ad-free listening sign up to PPF+ now https://www.ppfideas.com/join-ppf-plus

An extra episode to accompany our Films of Ideas series: David explores The Designated Mourner by Wallace Shawn, the writer and co-star of My Dinner with Andre. How did a play first performed in 1996 turn into a prophetic text for our times? How was it shaped by Shawn’s experiences in Central America and his view of Reagan’s America? What makes it one of the greatest of all contemporary political fictions?

Este episódio do 451 MHz traz a reprise do episódio narrativo publicado originalmente em fevereiro de 2025 e que marcou os oitenta anos da morte de Mário de Andrade.
Parte da coleção Narradores do Brasil, esse especial revisitou a viagem que o escritor modernista fez pelo norte do país, nos anos 20 do século passado, e a escrita do diário de bordo que acabou dando origem ao clássico O Turista Aprendiz — um livro que ficou quase um século fora de catálogo e ganhou nova edição em 2024, publicada pela Tinta-da-China Brasil, o selo editorial da Associação Quatro Cinco Um.
O episódio conta por que a viagem e este livro se tornaram marcos da cultura brasileira e até hoje inspiram escritores, jornalistas, pesquisadores e meros turistas aprendizes a conhecer a Amazônia e a literatura de Mário de Andrade.
Com apresentação de Paulo Werneck, o programa traz entrevistas com o biógrafo Jason Tércio, a crítica Eliane Robert Moraes, o professor Paulo Nunes, o escritor Milton Hatoum, além de áudios da crítica Beatriz Sarlo e da fotógrafa Maureen Bisilliat. As leituras são da escritora Amara Moira.
