The Interview Online is a website that collects and broadcasts audio (and occasional video) interviews with "authors, playwrights and cultural movers and shakers".
They recently spoke to journalist, broadcaster and Virago author Joan Bakewell about her debut novel All the Nice Girls, which captures the danger and excitement of wartime Britain with a sweeping story of heroic deeds and painful separations, illicit love and battles at sea, and above all, of the poignancy of longing and loss.
Joan also talks about her new role as government- appointed 'Voice of Older People'; examining how in her view, society dispenses with the services of less-young people, some of whom may not have even yet reached their prime.
