Who Will Win?


On Radiophrenia 87.9 fm, in April 2025, it was my new series Who Will Win? Discussing all that’s happening and re-happening in the world of sports and games.

Dr Jekyll 4, Mr Hyde 1; War 5, Peace nil; Antony 3, Cleopatra 3. Walrus 7, Carpenter 2. For the latest scores, the transference news, and the analysis, tune in to this three-part investigation into writing, listening, literature, and sport.

from the Aubin Codex, begun 1576


Ep 1, GAME OF TWO HALVES: Bob Dylan, the Popul Vuh creation myths, ball games against the death lords. Bats. Talking and proper communication. How to build a fresh world. Listen here:


Ep 2, ODDS ON: betting, gambling, wagering. What you can lose versus all you might gain. What you can see coming and what’s already far gone. Via the horses, the bookies, the fall of Montezuma.

How Tom Beat Captain Najork and His Hired Sportsmen, R. Hoban and Q. Blake, 1974


Ep 3, OUTSIDE THE LINES: Constraints, restrictions, rules and rulers. Curtley Ambrose, space invaders, me.
