From Our Own Correspondent: I Hate New York!

I Hate New York!

BBC Radio 4 - From Our Own Correspondent, I Hate New York!

Not everyone believes New York City is the most magical city at this festive time of year.

Seasonal stories and festive fables: Mike Wendling strongly disagrees with the thought that New York City is the world's most magical place at this festive time of year; why Yolande Knell in Bethlehem is looking forward to two more Christmases in the coming weeks; Nick Thorpe meets a Gypsy 'Santa Claus' on an allotment in southern Hungary; Petroc Trelawny on how the glittering New Year's Day ball in Vienna has its roots in a dark era of Austrian history and in Paris, Joanna Robertson tracks down one seasonal delicacy which, while delicious, carries the unmistakeable whiff of ... gunpowder!

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