BBC weekend program

Once again, I had the pleasure of joining the BBC World Service’s Weekend programme this morning—a civilised ritual that airs each Saturday and Sunday, in which two guests are invited to sift through the week’s news with a dash of insight and a sprinkle of personality. I adore this show. Unlike some of the more rigid current affairs programmes, Weekend allows for nuance, levity, and the occasional off-piste digression. And I must confess, I adore it even more when I am the guest.
For me, it’s a kind of mental pilates—stretching, challenging, and occasionally revealing unexpected flexibility. I’ve been accused of laughing too much while on air. But really, is that so grave a crime? Didn’t half of America once wag a finger at Kamala Harris for the same offence? I fear I’m incorrigible. I laugh on air, off air, online, in queues, and sometimes inappropriately in meetings. It’s who I am. Still, if you have any suggestions—short of humour removal surgery—I’m all ears.
