BBC Radio 4 - Start the Week, Michael Rosen at the Brighton Festival

Stephanie Flanders with Michael Rosen, Jay Griffiths, Mariele Neudecker and Matt Adams.

Stephanie Flanders at the Brighton Festival with Michael Rosen, Jay Griffiths, Mariele Neudecker and Matt Adams.

Start the Week is at the Brighton Festival. Stephanie Flanders talks to Michael Rosen about why the 1929 children's novel, Emil and the Detectives, is at the heart of the festival, with its city tale of hope, invention and dissent. But the writer and traveller Jay Griffiths criticises a Western risk-averse society for denying children the opportunity to roam free. Stanmer Woods is the setting of Matt Adams's latest theatrical experience which traces the legacy of the conflict in Northern Ireland, and the artist Mariele Neudecker brings the outside world inside in her transformation of a Regency Town House.

Producer; Katy Hickman.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
