Jeremy discusses Wonga writing off £220 million of customer debts, a new Bill of Rights, whether drinking 3 pints a night makes you a mild alcoholic and mushroom foraging. 

Plus, we hear another real-time journey through the events, voices and music of World War One, going back in time to experience what happened after war broke out.

In 20 episodes from 4th August through to December, Jeremy presents events as they unfold. Listeners will hear breaking news from the continent and at home; he'll be talking to the 'real people' of 1914; and hosting round-table discussions with contemporary experts on subjects from rationing to trench foot.

It's sound-tracked by music of the time, including army marching band numbers, classical compositions, and the tongue-in-cheek music hall melodies that would have been most familiar to a 1914 audience.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
