This week’s show is given over in its entirety to an anthology of delicious Onions cultivated by the enigmatic Felicity Fig for which she was paid at a bulk rate and not per Onion so that Bill could pocket his usual weekly bung in full.

There's certainly one thing that everyone can agree about the seminal 1982 film "Koyaanisqatsi" - a Native American word meaning 'life out of balance' - featuring only stunning visual images and mesmerizing motion picture sequences: no words, no characters, and no narrative...we can all agree that there could NEVER EVER be a radio version of the film. Except, there now is. This show features the music of Phillip Glass and Onions Out Of Balance written by Clare Kemsley, Ruth Hamilton, Sue Beer, Jo Kerr, Angela Cairns, Jenny Miller, Phil Boast, Bill Lawrance, Pat Blosse, Ian Hornett, Tim Morgan and John Dew.

Aesop loved, and knew, his onions, writing over a thousand fables about the Allium Cepa, as well as running the first burger bar in the whole of ancient Athens that served fried onion rings.

In celebration of the ancient storyteller, who also made theworld’s first Onion based anti-perspirant, here are a whole bunch of Onions in one of Bills Big Bags, with each linked mysteriously, yet appositely, to the old Greek Fabulist himself.
