A radio progarmme on writing

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b01q8l31/Start_the_Week_Political_Writing_Joan_Bakewell_and_Tim_Montgomerie/

I came across this programme this moring when driving to work. Although it's a talk about political writing, some guests points are well applicable to writing in general. I highly recommend it.

 

More programme information:

Start the Week Allan Little explores the legacy of George Orwell's essay Politics and the English Language. Joan Bakewell, Tim Montgomerie, Chris Mullin and Phil Collins discuss Orwell's warning that evasive language, euphemism and insincerity dominate political writing, and assess the impact of today's political diaries, blogging and tweeting.
