It's publication day! My new book Hinterlands is out today in the UK (next month in the US, Canada and Germany). Thanks to @ProfileBooks and @AsiaLitAgency, and to everyone who has reviewed it so far. Copies available at all good bookshops.

I interviewed R.L.B. at his home: A trailer, out in the back roads of Mississippi, working with my man @MilesWarde from the @BBC.
Making this 44-minute radio doc was one of the best experiences of my life, and I highly regard the piece we made.

This clip of R. L. Burnside performing “See My Jumper Hanging On The Line” is one of my favorite corners of the internet.

There’s a terrific series on BBC radio called The Invention of.. where Misha Glenny traces the origins of many countries: Germany Hungary United States and many more. The word Invention is key

Jul 28, 2018, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: "Today, the Trump administration is releasing what we’re calling the Crimea Declaration. ... I want to assure this committee that the U.S. does not and will not recognize the Kremlin’s purported annexation of Crimea."

Seems a good day to repeat this programme - The Invention of Russia from @MishaGlenny
"In my producer's history textbook it says here on page 18 that Moscow as a political entity did not exist"

Tonight @channel4news, I'm looking at the history of Israeli invasions of Lebanon: 1978, 1982, 2006 and now. In the past, short-term military victory has bought the Jewish state time, but failed to bring long-term peace. Will it be any different today?

Russia lost to the Japanese in 1905, lost to the Poles in Warsaw in 1920, lost in Finland, lost in Afghanistan and lost the Cold War. Someone send @realDonaldTrump The Invention of Russia from @BBCRadio4
Trump on Russia: Somebody told me the other day, they beat Hitler, they beat Napoleon. That's what they do.

Highly recommend listening to this episode of Great Lives (@BBCRadio4) on Justin Fashanu. Includes some superb archive clips from the BBC vault.

Wonderful Jo Brand programme on Bessie Smith later today, with equally excellent @JackieKayPoet who wrote biography of the empress of the blues.
Great Lives produced by @E_Ricovecchia

The 'Invention of' series is essential listening ... not least for the amusing bickering between presenter @MishaGlenny and producer @MilesWarde

Alaphilippe outside a Greggs, one of the most beautiful images in cycling.
Need more shots of riders in classic British locations, get Evenepoel in front of a Spoons stat.
