I don’t want to turn Crooked Timber into a series of announcements for British radio shows, but I would like to give advance notice that Alan Carling , sociologist, electoral candidate, and one of my collaborators on Imprints, is now on the radio with Bradford Community Broadcasting . His show — The Bradford Experience — goes out this Thursday, and he’ll be interviewing Home Office minister Fiona McTaggart . The show goes out from 1600-1700 (UK time) and I rather suspect they’ll be discussing race, religion, secularism and such matters. There’s sure to be plenty on the live stream that might interest — or infuriate — Harry, Ophelia Benson, Russell Arben Fox and others around these parts. So perhaps Crooked Timber can get Alan an audience beyond the limits of the Bradford–Leeds conurbation.

UPDATE: Alan tells me that the programme will be repeated on Saturday (9.00-10.00 am) and Sunday (4.00 – 5.00). He’ll also be interviewing the Bishop of Bradford.
