The low sun spreads its dimming rays across the tops of the Poplars. A narrow brush stroke of glowing yellow light touches the remaining leaves. The streams feeding the Thames have topped their banks, pooling in the fields beyond Sunnybrook studio.

Paul Lodge joins Warren on this crisp sunny afternoon in the countryside. We are treated to extraordinary music and fascinating insights into song writing, life, poetry, philosophy, Hillary Clinton, William Wordsworth's bedroom, America, The Cure, Oxford and the flow of the real.
