Thought for the Day Archive
I’ve been contributing since 2006 to Thought for the Day, BBC Radio 4′s religious comment slot in the popular and influential Today Programme. This is an archive of all the talks up to April 2011, which are hosted on the BBC website. Since then, talks appear on the Today website and stay for a week, but aren’t archived, and I will be posting the MP3s. My next Thought for the Day talks are on Thursdays October 13 & 20 at 7.47 am, appearing here shortly afterwards.
Here’s a comment on Thought for the Day and its parodists written a little while ago.
