Whilst imprisoned here in the UK, I have been listening to LBC.
It used to be London Broadcasting Company but is now called Leading Britain's' Conversation.
Probably because it's audience has gone through the roof since the 1st lockdown.
Apart from the repetitive adverts it can be quite interesting and elucidating.
Sometime ago, my interest was 'tweaked by listening to Maajid Nawaz, one of it's presenters.
Turns out he was given a 5 year prison sentence in Tora prison and whilst there:
Quote Wiki: By 2007 he had renounced his Islamist past and called for a "secular Islam". Nawaz explained how, other than the interactions in prison, George Orwell's novel Animal Farm played a major role in his turnaround.
That was a bit of an eye-opener! 1. Having been banged up in Tora Prison. 2. How Animal Farm changed his views...
I was about 14 reading Animal Farm along with Lobsang Rampa's The Third Eye along with those rabbits ,
Watership Down, R D Laing ect. All were a 'right of passage.
Shame Maajid didn't read Animal Farm when he was younger, he might never
have ended up in Tora, which makes Wandsworth nick look like a 5 star hotel...

Re: LBC Radio.
When I saw the headline, I thought you were talking about Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC), which I sometimes watch in Egypt.
