The intriguing #MountainsOfKong got a passing mention on this morning's #StartTheWeek on #BBCRadio4. Looking them up on @wikipedia.org, I was surprised to discover that an early proponent of this wholly fictional range was none other than the 🌊 oceanographer, #JamesRennell.

Congrats to Prof Paul Cartledge for his superb refusal to be drawn into a discussion of the so-called Thucydides Trap on Start the Week on the grounds that the modern usage is, he believes, unsound. Top donning! #starttheweek

Did you miss me - in the excellent company of poet Andrew McMillan and writer Saima Mir - on #StartTheWeek this morning? It's repeated at 9pm tonight and available on BBC Sounds. I loved speaking some of Caedmon's Hymn aloud in the original #OldEnglish! ❤️

#StartTheWeek is on smell. I've got hyperosmia - an increased sense of smell. I didn't even know there was a word for it.
It's both a blessing and a curse.
