Yup..Wasn't it fascinating and (as you say Philippa) well worth a listen.Very rewarding, not easy though.Strains them little grey cells...

The second one was this morning and I think I sort of heard something about Let Them Eat Credit so will have to catch up online or read the transcript!  This morning was about Mark Carney assessing what lessons have been learnt from the 2008 financial crash...It also looks like they are repeated at 9pm on Fridays.https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000py8t
