Thanks to Jill for putting the link up.

I actually did the interview last week and it was pre-recorded for tonight's programme.

For those who wish to listen to the programme, but are busy when it is broadcast, a podcast is available via:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/allinthemind.shtml .

I think the interview went okay but came away thinking I didn't say anything thrilling. It wasn't one of those interviews where I vent my spleen about the lack of real care for the mentally ill (the blog is where I do that..ha! ha!). It was more about why I blog and what it means to me. So please don't expect anything too contraversial or rivetting. :>)
