The BBC has launched an archive of recordings of the classic Radio 4 series: "DESERT ISLAND DISCS", with thanks to Theo K for the tipoff.
This is an amazing cultural archive as it allows you to see the songs that were chosen (and armed with Spotify you can then cue them up and listen to them... in most cases) and the items chosen...
So what about doing a desert island geography lesson...
Students would need to choose a range of things for the programme (which could be adapted to suit...)
8 songs... or.... [ INSERT IDEA HERE...]
1 book.... can also be taken
1 luxury item...
Might be a good thing to ask some colleagues to provide you with their desert island discs, and items.... Students might even be asked to guess which colleague chose which items...
Or you can see what geographical items people chose to take, for example the late Mo Mowlam chose a globe, Mike Harding was among the people who wanted Ordnance Survey maps. I was also impressed by Polar explorer Pen Hadow's choice of "Ommadawn"...and Raymond Briggs who chose Jan Garbarek.
Quite a few people chose to take an Atlas with them as their luxury item...
A bit of work needed on the idea perhaps... Over to you...
