Night Waves

on BBC Radio 3

Bertrand Russell is one of the few great philosophers to have reached a wide audience, but his private life was as tortured as his intellectual achievements were remarkable. Humphrey Carpenter talks to Russell's latest biographer Ray Monk about his intriguing subject and visits a new exhibition of the sculpture of Jasper Johns in Leeds.
