- The Notting Hill Carnival 'A great carnivore appears in London'
Send us Fan Mail
Or that’s what I thought the news presenter said. What she actually meant was a great carnival is taking place.
The Notting Hill carnival has been asleep for three years thanks to Covid. Now it’s the biggest bank holiday bash in the world, well, OK, in Europe.
Some two million people own the streets of Notting Hill from sunrise to silly o clock ...- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

4 min - BBC Five and the boiled frog syndrome
Send us Fan Mail
Has the BBC has lost its way as a news broadcaster, and does it matter?
This morning I switched on my default radio station, Radio 5, for breaking news, and realised its gradual deterioration over a period of years. The shock is one like the mythical frog immersed in a pot of water which is gradually warmed up until the frog is boiled.- Stay up-to-date with all of Tudor's podcasts, blogs and current affairs commentary by signing up to our newsletter!

Send us Fan Mail
This is a story of a 4,500 mile cycle ride with it’s 1000 mile perimeter. As mathematicians among you will have worked out, it is a roughly circular ride. And, it must be said, poses the immediate question ‘why?’

4 min - England Cricket re-enters the stone-age
Send us Fan Mail
I reviewed this podcast after England Cricket suffered two humiliating defeats against Australia in December 2025.
As homo-sapiens developed, our ancestors learned increasingly smart ways of surviving, which give them an edge over their predators. We became evidence of the theory of natural selection and survival of the fittest.
Sometimes, an individual would flourish by a sort of regression to an earlier pattern of behaviour with temporary success. I write with one example of stone-age behaviour on my television screen, showing the new approach from the England cricket team.

6 min - Hello Euston my old friend
Send us Fan Mail
Euston Station, the gateway to the North, falls silent. But the silence, as the saying goes, speaks louder than words.
A BBC reporter has been dispatched the record the sound of silence. As she reports, and as we can see, the great departures lounge is deserted.
‘Good morning from a very eerie Euston station, where the first train doesn’t leave for an hour’.
Outside, there is a picket line in day-glow jackets. Among them, Mick Walsh, the leader of the striking railwaymen, is conducting an interview ...

Send us Fan Mail
Drought declared in Manchester, home of the perpetual rain. Mancunians shake their heads in astonishment.
Gardens are parched dry. Budgeons run out of bottled water. Tankers from Scotland are being hijacked and their precious loads sold on the black market to thirsty southerners.
As dusk falls, I stare hopefully at darkening clouds. I go into the garden and look up. They appear to be rain clouds ...

About TudoRama
From the publisher's feed
TudoRama explores the nature and practice of creativity in the arts, sciences, politics and above all in everyday life. Tudor Rickards is Emeritus Professor of Creativity and Organizational Change at…
the University of Manchester. Tudor studied chemistry and radiation chemistry at The University of Wales at Cardiff. Following post-doctoral research at New York Medical College, he returned to the UK to work in technical management before joining Manchester Business School. He has published numerous books and articles on creativity, sporting management and leadership, as well as fictional works involving the mythical University of Urmston. He has been influential in the development of creativity-related projects in Europe, including the European Association for Creativity and Innovation (EACI), and was co-founder (with Susan Moger) of the journal Creativity and Innovation Management. He is also author of detective stories centred around the fictional University of Urmston, and a nearby chess club which houses a top-secret government surveillance operation. His recent switch to podcasting reaches out to a wider general audience interested in current affairs, and the processes of creativity previously described in his lectures, blogposts, and textbooks.
