Peter Curran

Peter Curran presents a weekly selection of the best bits of audio across the 麻豆社.

This week, footie mania is taking over Pick of the Week, as we muse on how AI is beginning to shape the beautiful game, and go to penalties on Drama on 4, involving goalie Albert Camus and a minotaur. Absurd as it sounds, there鈥檚 also a cow predicting who鈥檒l win the World Cup, and as many of us begin to paint flags onto our faces, Newsnight鈥檚 Nick Watt asks: why is Englishness so hard to define?
