Listen to Will Self talking about library cuts on Radio 4 here, and the follow-up programme the week after here. But hurry, you only have 88 years left to listen.

Listen to Will Self talking about the idea of the family on Nightwaves on the BBC iplayer here (available until December 29). Self’s contribution is in the first 10 minutes or so of the programme, in which he talks about how politicians have used the rhetoric of family and how George Osborne’s likening of the national debt to a family’s finances is “specious and insidious”.

Listen to Will Self being interviewed by Bruno Rinvolucri as he takes him on a two-part tour of the sewers of Brixton on Tunnel Vision Thursday October 14 at 4.30pm on Resonance FM (resonancefm.com), where they will discuss “the spatialisation of human waste, the architecture of sanitation, excremental stalagmites and stalactites” among other things. If you don’t live in London, you can still listen to it live on their website. Read Self’s blog about it here.

And tonight, October 12, you can listen to Chris Hall, journalist and co-manager of will-self.com, discuss the life and work of Philip K Dick on Atomic Bark with host James DC, film-maker Ben Slotover, and the artistic director of Foolish People John Harrigan also on Resonance FM, at 11pm.

You can now listen to the show here.
