45 minutes
Programme Details
According to a recent poll, we have now decided that some of the seven deadly sins are no longer so threatening. But everybody still agrees, it seems, that anger is the sin we commit most frequently. Anger is all about us, from the righteous anger of political and religious certainty to the anger of road users and modern footballers - even young Wayne Rooney has been sent off on an anger management course!
On tonight's Night Waves: Undercurrents, Philip Dodd and guests explore the changing role of anger in society and investigate its worth. Is anger inherent and inevitable? Or is it a wild beast that leads to the disintegration of ego and something which needs to be tamed? How do different cultures and religions view anger and does anger have a different meaning for men and women?
Join Philip Dodd and guests - theologian Philip Blond, broadcaster Beatrix Campbell, the former Psychoanalyst turned novelist Salley Vickers and Buddhist scholar Robert Thurman - for an angry Night Waves: Undercurrents live at 9.30pm here on Radio 3.
