Sailing Into Neptune

No.101, aired December 15, 2010.

If Uranus was the “Aviation” this episode brings the “Naval”, the final stop on our interplanetary voyage, landing at last on the seas of Neptune. Ezra Pound’s Canto II was read with the final track from Holst’s The Planets (Canto I was read on December 26, 2008, meaning I will have read all 120 Cantos on air by 2247!) And with the Winter Solstice only a week away we continued with the audiobook of Joseph Conrad’s Heart Of Darkness.
