Refigure E29 – Glasto & Berry

Refigure

Nearing the end of season two, Rifa and Chris take their weekly bitesize chunk out of the arts, culture, tech and diversity.
This week we cleared our schedules, bought a pile of unhealthy snacks and settled in to spend the whole weekend binge-watching BBC live streams from Glastonbury Festival, enjoying full live sets by more than 25 bands, without the distractions of presenters, acoustic sets or annoying 'atmosphere' video packages over on the 'normal' TV coverage.
Our Glasto conversation ranges from the impressive BBC sound quality; via the improvement of diversity at major festivals; to Stormzy's sensational headline and the state of grime; via the genius of Lizzo, the tears of Idles singer Joe Talbot and the obligatory "oh god, Morrissey" sidebar. Icons as disparate as Sali Hughes and Darren Hayman get brief mentions.
In What You Reading For? Rifa is enjoying Kate Atkinson's Life After Life and Chris is blown away by Robert Macfarlane's Underland.
