“Wonderful conversation about Ronald Blythe. Many associate him with
‘Akenfield’, but I suspect most know little about the man himself or any of his other work.
I could listen to these podcasts all night - they are so enjoyable.”

“I know it was not SF’s opinion, but it was a bit offensive hearing your interviewee refer to the “tragedy “ of Hughes” life and his reference to “a certain kind of American feminist “.
The real tragedy surely belongs to the women who were affected by him which led to their suicides.
