I was in the Ionian Islands earlier this year, actually.

Nancy SmayNARRATOR
The sea was sapphire-coloured, and the sky Burned like a heated opal through the air We hoisted sail: the wind was blowing fair For the blue lands that to the eastward lie.
Nancy SmayNARRATOR
From the steep prow I marked with quickening eyes Zakynthos, every olive grove and creek, Ithaca's cliff, Lacaon's snowy peak, And all the flower-strewn hills of Arcady.
Nancy SmayNARRATOR
The flapping of the sail against the mast, The ripple of the water on the side, The ripple of girls' laughter at the stern, The only sounds.
Nancy SmayNARRATOR
When 'gan the west to burn, And a red sun upon the seas to ride, I stood upon the soil of Greece at last.

Martin CosserGUEST
Charlie had gone with two friends, but one friend had gone home.
Martin CosserGUEST
So Charlie didn't know anybody there, but really being a sociable lad, he'd chat to anyone and he didn't really go to loads of parties, but we'd actually tried to tell him not to because he was due to go on his friend's first holiday to Zante on the Monday.
Martin CosserGUEST
Oh, well, that's another...
Martin CosserGUEST
I mean, I can come back to what we went through when we arrived home later.
Barry BurrellGUEST
The funny thing, I was...
Barry BurrellGUEST
So I broke me coccyx 'cause, and I split me arm open, and we were going to, on holiday to Zante somewhere the next day, so I was fuming about it.
Josh CornerHOST
Oh, you'd have probably broke your coccyx in Zante as well, to be honest.
Josh CornerHOST
[laughs]
Barry BurrellGUEST
So my coccyx was knackered.
Daniel McIvorHOST
I was
Adam KennedyHOST
in Zante that day, thankfully.
Adam KennedyHOST
I was literally spewing my ring the entire day and that was probably still better than being at Tyne Castle.
Daniel McIvorHOST
Robbie Arctic Jambo never been more raging watching a penalty shooter I've not got a stake in so whatever I can't wait to watch back these pens because they must have been the one and it feels like they're trying to get him sacked basically weed

He at length is softened by my piety and chaste prayers, and forbears to use his authority.
speaker_0NARRATOR
A dissipated set of wooers from Dulichium, Same, and lofty Zacynthus, tease me without intermission: they reign uncontrolled in your palace, and devour your wealth, our very life and support.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Why should I mention Pisander, Polybus, Aglaomedon, and covetous Eurymachus and Antinous, beside many others, who all, in your absence, live upon the means gained at the hazard of your life? Indigent Irus and your goatherd Melanthius serve to finish your disgrace.

We are only three in number unable to defend ourselves: your wife weak and helpless, Laertes an old man, and Telemachus a child.
Johnny DutchHOST
Yeah
Laura Kirk-FrancisHOST
... to, like, Zante or somewhere like that, but he's, he's getting you in for a fish bowl.
Johnny DutchHOST
Yes.
Laura Kirk-FrancisHOST
"You all right, girls?"

Read for LibriVox.org. Fair Isle! that from the fairest of all flowers Thy gentlest of all gentle names dost take, How many memories of what radiant hours At sight of thee and thine at once awake! How many scenes of what departed bliss! How many thoughts of what entombed hopes! How many visions of a maiden that is no more— No more upon thy verdant slopes! No more! alas! that magical sad sound, Transforming all! Thy charms shall please no more, Thy memory no more.
speaker_6NARRATOR
Accursed ground! Henceforward I hold thy flower-enameled shore O Hyacinthine Isle! O purple Zante! Ioladoro! Fior de Levante! End of poem.

... sat on a yacht off of Zante or whatever, but like fundamentally we've got basic needs and like this whole conversation that we've had is about the fact that that social contract is broken and those needs aren't being met.
Rosie WrightingGUEST
Yeah.
Keir MatherGUEST
And I think actually that's driving a lot of young people's political behavior, a lot of their anxieties about the future, and rightly so.
