Joy of listening

Visit a "Room with a View," via BBC Radio.

Here's J.R.R. Tolkien's study where The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings were written. Listen to biographer Humphrey Carpenter discuss Tolkien's life and more.

Or walk through the Martello Tower in Ireland and learn how James Joyce came to write Ulysses.

BBC only seems to offer these programs online for a week at most, so tune in now.
