LEFTFIELD - 30 YEARS OF LEFTISM SALUTES MIX (320kbs-m4a/70mb/30mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 4th April 2025
Leftfield's Neil Barnes celebrates 30 years since the acclaimed debut album Leftism with a special Salutes Mix.
Released in 1995, the acclaimed electronic album featured tracks like Release The Pressure, Song Of Life and Open Up with John Lydon. It was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and a review from NME at the time said "Leftfield have returned to save the night." It is credited for showing that dance music could work in an album format and the live performances that followed had a reputation for being so loud that plaster fell from the roof of Brixton Academy during one show.
Leftfield are playing live later this year, including a set at Glastonbury Festival and their ‘Celebrating 35 Years Of Original Bass And Beats; Leftism And Beyond’ live tour.
The Salutes Mix is an half hour mix where we can tip our hat to an artist or album celebrating an anniversary.

DESERT ISLAND DISCS REVISITED: TV'S HISTORY CASTAWAYS - DAVID OLUSOGA (320kbs-m4a/98mb/42mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 16th March 2025
Historian David Olusoga is castaway by Lauren Laverne.
David is an historian, writer and broadcaster who has presented a range of programmes including the BBC's A House Through Time and Civilisations.
He is currently professor of public history at Manchester University.
Born in Lagos, the second child to a Nigerian father and a British mother, David was brought up by his mother in Gateshead after his parents' marriage broke down. As a child he and his siblings experienced sustained racism and he remembers school as a place of violence and cruelty.
He credits his mother's tenacity and her determination to educate her children for his later success in getting to university and establishing a career in TV.
His love of history developed from a young age, thanks to one of his teachers who taught him why an understanding of history matters. Watching TV documentaries also opened up a world of possibility and David fondly recalls programmes from the 1980s presented by the historian Michael Wood, who made history seem cool in the eyes of the young schoolboy glued to the TV in his Gateshead council house.
In 2020, David delivered the MacTaggart Lecture at the Edinburgh Television Festival in which he talked candidly about his loneliness at being the only black person on a production team and the difficulties he had trying to explain the racial implications of how, for example, people in Africa were often portrayed on screen.

TARZAN: LORD OF THE JUNGLE (320kbs-m4a/64mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 11th March 2025
In 1912, Edgar Rice Burroughs created the character of Tarzan, who quickly became a global sensation.
When the books were first adapted for the big screen in 1918, the resulting film was one of the first ever to take over a million dollars at the box office. Way ahead of his time, Burroughs ignored the advice of business 'experts' who told him not to roll out the character across different formats. By doing so, he was one of the true pioneers of the multi-media franchises that have since become the norm.
Tarzan himself has been as troubling as he has been popular - the different characterisations that have appeared in the hundreds of books, films, radio shows, comic books, cartoons etc, make it very hard to pinpoint one single, authentic character. Some critics have derided him for his affirmation of white, colonial assumptions, while others have championed his eco-warrior credentials.
One thing is for sure - with a range of new books and films appearing, the character of Tarzan has lost little of his original appeal.
John Waite talks with, among others, James Sullos of ERB Inc., Desmond Morris to find out about the plausibility of the notion of a baby being raised by apes, and cultural historian Jeffrey Richards.

BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 8th March 2025
Hollywood star Danny Kaye talks to Tony Thomas about his career acting in films like The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, as well as campaigning for UNICEF.
The son of Ukrainian immigrants (then part of Russia), Danny Kaye was born in New York in 1913 – and died in Los Angeles in 1987 aged 76.
He was a multitalented actor, comedian, singer and dancer. He began his career as an entertainer in hotels. His quicksilver thinking led him to play multiple roles in the same film, as twins or look-alikes, including Wonder Man (1945), On the Riviera (1951) and On the Double (1961).
Danny Kaye's best remembered for starring in the biopic Hans Christian Andersen (1952), and as song and dance double act with Bing Crosby in White Christmas (1954).
He toured his one man comedy and music show to brilliant reviews. Later in life he became known for his charity and humanitarian work with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
