That's odd - I've fixed it for now, but it'll probably disappear in due course anyway, being a radio listing, so for the sake of posterity and to save your clicking finger, here is what it says:

"Alan Garner: The Return to Brisingamen
Tuesday 24 March
11:30am - 12:00pm
BBC Radio 4

John Waite meets Alan Garner, author of the book that helped shape Waite's own childhood, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen, to discuss his life and writing career. He discovers how Garner had his mouth scrubbed with carbolic soap at primary school to rid him of his thick Cheshire accent, what happened when he heard himself declared dead - twice - and how nothing has influenced him more strongly than his artisan ancestors who have lived in the area for centuries. John also hears from Garner fans including academic Charles Butler and novelist Philip Pullman."

Nice to hear from you, Michele!
