SARRA MANNING & JOHN MULVEY - They Look Like Meringues

Joining Tom Jackson to discuss the postcards from their pasts are novelist SARRA MANNING (Unsticky, Adorkable, London Belongs To Us, The House of Secrets, The Rise And Fall of Becky Sharpe) and editor of Mojo JOHN MULVEY. In this episode we discuss masculinity and postcard-writing, the forgotten wartime delights of Rainbow Corner, share blurry memories of Britpop, and rediscover the days when music journalism was an exercise in post-structuralist theory. Plus alien honeysuckle. Wish you were here?
