S35: Short Cuts: Soundscape 6/8

An argument in Istanbul

At sunrise, on the banks of the Ganges river, the poet and radio producer Pejk Malinovski picks out a cow at random and starts to follow her. He continues to follow her until sunset.

The cow was here long before man arrived. Does the fact that human beings have maths, space travel and doughnuts really make us superior to all other beings on earth? What does the cow have that we don't have? Four stomachs. Hooves. A lot of patience.

A meditative journey unfolds within the sonic backdrop of the ancient city of Varanasi - until suddenly the two of them find themselves on the set of a Bollywood dance film.

A consideration of the nature of radio, a pondering of inter-species relationships, Pejk's programme invites you to un-follow your digital stream and exercise your ability to be just present.

Written and produced by Pejk Malinovski.
First broadcast 24th February 2018, BBC Radio 3

A Cow A Day

Joining us this week to discuss the realities of contemporary Russian politics is Tony Wood. Tony is the author of Russia Without Putin: Money, Power and the Myths of the New Cold War (2018, Verso) and on the editorial team at New Left Review. We discuss the Western myths of Putin as the great puppetmaster versus the realities of Russian political and economic development following the collapse of the Soviet Union. We wrap up the interview with a brief discussion of Russia-gate. Is Putin manipulating American democracy or is it all a bunch of bollocks? (Bet you’re biting your nails on this one...)
