After us, they’ll be screening Modern Times (1936) with the original recorded score. Should be a fun (& balmy) night.

Powerful stuff in this @soundschoolpodcast.bsky.social episode - the voices of young people talking to Samantha Brown. I’m not a crier but I had a big lump in my throat listening to this.

Recommendation: ‘Empire’ podcast eps on the Suez Crisis - a fantastic guest in historian @alexvont.bsky.social Covers so much fascinating territory in a very engaging way. From Egypt to Palestine to… Hungary, not to mention France, Britain, Israel and the US.
