We’re excited to share the news that Hallam’s\u00a0Professor John Goodby<\/a>\u00a0will be\u00a0a guest on Melvyn Bragg’s\u00a0In Our Time\u00a0<\/strong>programme, on\u00a0BBC Radio 4\u00a0this Thursday 16 June at 9.00 am.<\/strong><\/p>\n

John is the leading international\u00a0expert on Dylan Thomas’ work\u00a0and as In\u00a0Our Time has an audience of two\u00a0million, this makes his contribution even more significant for him, his department, and the University.<\/p>\n

Dylan Thomas is one of our most well-loved\u00a0poets, the author of Under Milk Wood<\/em> and a media and literary presence with rock-star qualities. Bob Dylan borrowed his name, he appears on the Beatles’ Sergeant Pepper LP cover, and he has many celebrity fans, such as George Clooney, no less!<\/p>\n

John will take part in a 42-minute conversation about Thomas’ work and ideas with Lord Bragg\u00a0and two other academics: Dr Nerys Williams from University College Dublin\u00a0and Dr Leo Mellor from Cambridge University. There is also a\u00a0popular\u00a0podcast<\/a>\u00a0that accompanies the programme.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
