Bryan Cranston and Ferdinand Kingsley read a FEROCIOUS letter exchange

💾

This is one of our favourite all time letter exchanges for a reason, and we couldn't not share this particular performance with you all.

In 1675, the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire instructed his army to attack a fortress belonging to the Zaporozhian Cossacks. They were quickly and heavily defeated. Rather than surrender, the Sultan then wrote to the Cossacks and demanded that they submit to him.

Bryan Cranston and Ferdinand Kingsley joined us to read the hilarious exchange of letters between the two opposing forces at Letters Live in New York in June 2025.

Come and see us in NYC at The Town Hall, Midtown, Manhattan on May 14th 2026:

Canções que migram: música, literatura e cultura livre

💾

O projeto é um ciclo de canções e textos que nasce da colaboração entre o músico e professor luso-brasileiro Gilvano Dalagna, o artista e escritor luso-canadense Richard Simas e a violinista e professora luso-brasileira Clarissa Foletto, todos ligados à Universidade de Aveiro e ao INET-md (Instituto de Etnomusicologia – Centro de Estudos em Música e Dança). Inspirado em “A Conferência dos Pássaros”, texto sufi persa do século XIII de Farid Ud-Din Attar, o álbum acompanha a jornada de dois personagens — Tomás e Sofia — que partem em busca de sentido pelo mundo, transformando-se, ao longo do caminho, em seres híbridos, meio pássaros, meio humanos.

O resultado é uma obra bilíngue (português e inglês), eclética, com 20 faixas entre canções e narrações, gravada com um ensemble de músicos de origens diversas em Aveiro. O álbum está disponível no Bandcamp com preço livre (“name your price”), e o ebook que acompanha a obra pode ser baixado gratuitamente no repositório aberto da Universidade de Aveiro. Na live, vamos conversar sobre o processo criativo colaborativo entre escritor e compositor, uma inversão do modelo habitual em que o texto literário se subordina à estrutura musical. Vamos discutir também como um projeto acadêmico-artístico nascido em Portugal pode circular pelo mundo lusófono e além dele, os desafios da distribuição independente de música hoje, e como práticas de acesso aberto podem ampliar o alcance de obras artísticas sem sacrificar a sustentabilidade dos criadores.

Talking … Peter Mandelson and New Labour w/Helen Thompson

In today’s episode David and Helen Thompson explore the tortured relationship between Peter Mandelson and the New Labour project that he helped to create and now seems finally to have destroyed. How has the whole history of New Labour been shaped by its origin in ideas of betrayal? Why did Tony Blair and Gordon Brown both end up depending on Mandelson while despairing of each other? What held their relationships together and what caused them to fall apart?

Seestar S30 Pro - How I use it for Nightscape Photography

💾

Today I'm very excited to show you how I use my Seestar S30 Pro smart telescope to shoot nightscape images. I've been playing with it for a while now and love how portable and easy to use this little gadget is.
But there certainly are challenges if we want to incorporate a foreground in the composition. Join me in the field as I explain my thought process for doing this.

Benedict Cumberbatch reads a beautiful love letter

💾

Gerald Durrell and Lee McGeorge first met in 1977, when Durrell — already a celebrated naturalist and writer — was giving a lecture at Duke University, where she was studying animal behaviour. They quickly became close, and within two years were married. In 1978, not long after they met, Durrell wrote her a letter.

Benedict Cumberbatch read this beautiful letter to close our very special Earth Day show at the Royal Albert Hall in April 2026.

The show was in partnership with Vivobarefoot, and in support of Greenpeace.
