Wouldn't usually watch this kinda show but my mother swears by it she has watched the entire boxset sereval times already. Cate blancett is excellent as phillis schlafly giving probably her best performance ever worthy of an award good show even I want to know how it ends

Simon Critchley recommended Time Lived, Without It's Flow in Books (curated)

"I recently lost my mother and have been reading a huge amount about grief, bereavement and mourning. This is the only thing I have read that gets close to the experience of loss and the way in which it suspends our entire, usual understanding of time. A wonderful piece of work from the English poet."

Book Favorite

"I read this while my mother was ill, dying from cancer, and she decided to try to read it as well. We often shared books and music and so forth, but she couldn’t get through it because it was just too personal and too real. She had to put that book down; it’s pretty sad.”"

Suzanne Vega recommended Adventures of Huckleberry Finn in Books (curated)

"The classic story of a wild child on the outskirts of rural society with an absent mother and wayward father, and the trials he endures. I feel for Huck as I never do for Tom Sawyer, who is more civilized. A portrait of America at a moment in time which is still relevant today."

Movie Favorite

"Hitchcock’s best movie? It certainly is as close to perfect as you can get. Brains—the story, dialogue, and direction. Beauty—Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant. Plus, thrills, romance, uranium, and Nazis. And another laugh line I’ll never forget, from Claude Rains’s mother to him: “Luckily, we were protected by the enormity of your stupidity.”"
