I had the pleasure of making a documentary for @BBCRadio4 with @jonsnowC4 on Portugal's Carnation Revolution of 25th April 1974. It's the 50th anniversary now, and what a story it is. Listen in at 13:30 on Sunday or anytime after 📻🇵🇹bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Morning @BBCRadio3 Breakfasters. There’s something of a detective theme to begin today… & why not?! It’s prompted by composer Geoffrey Bush’s interest in detective fiction & fuelled by fragments of a lost serenade by Buxtehude. Intrigued? Join us! All sorts to uncover today.

There is so much more I could have said .. Uzbekistan is where Ulugh Beg’s observatory was mapping stars in the 15th century, and the native region of the man from whom we get the word ‘algorithm’. But mainly this is about travels with my mother!
