The Good Life

Matthew Parris decides between worthy and satisfying. With Simon Townley, Anita Robinson, and Rogan Taylor. From 2004.

What makes for a good living, a life of leisure, or one of selfless charitable deeds?

Indeed, is the good life as same as a good life? That's the topic hotly debated by Matthew Parris' three guests, pianist Simon Townley, broadcaster Anita Robinson, and academic Rogan Taylor.

Not surprisingly, they can't even agree as to what goodness itself is.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in September 2004.
