One programme per week on a Friday, I believe. (Extended to an hour.) -
Ah, many thanks! (I thought someone would be able to save me a trawl to see if I’d missed a mention of it…Originally posted by Andrew Slater View Post

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

It's moved to Radio 4, yes. As Andrew says, the new hour-long slot is on a Friday.Originally posted by Nick Armstrong View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

Moving it to Radio 4 means the weak Free / Three Thinking pun doesn’t work any more. They should rename it Fore Thought.Originally posted by Nick Armstrong View PostComment

You know, that never struck me before (b4)!Originally posted by Ein Heldenleben View Post
Looking at Radio Times, it’s not going to be quite the same programme - live now apparently, and looking at “the ideas shaping our lives today, looking back at the week and picking out some themes and questions which have caught their attention” - a Stop the Week reboot?

Free Thinking has certainly had some interesting and informative contributors, but I would suggest a proportion may actually be up their own fundamentOriginally posted by Nick Armstrong View Post

So, yes, Free Thinking has been dropped (as not suitable for R4)?Originally posted by Nick Armstrong View PostIt isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

Quite… I only really listened to Matthew Sweet’s editions, and even some of his episodes featured a proportion of the proportion you mention e.g. when examining some little-known 1960s Czech sci-fi film or similarOriginally posted by Old Grumpy View Post

The RT suggests a swing away from cultural arcana to more “zeitgeist-driven” matter.
Good news for me that MS seems to be a fixture; otherwise, yes, the R3 programme has in effect been dropped…"...the isle is full of noises,

Yes, I heard a few live at The Glasshouse (formerly known as Sage Gateshead) when Free Thinking weekends were broadcast from there, some were very good and some definitely up there!
