Some details on how to “tune in” would be nice. It will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Tuesday July 26th at 8pm local time, and a podcast will be made available afterward.
I could not find a definitive link on the Beeb’s site, but this may be updated as next week approaches: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/bbc_radio_four
Jamie Whyte represents the Austrian side too. It should be good.
Cool stuff. Thanks.
When I read the title Keyens vs Hayek BBC debate I thought old footage of a forgotten/unknown debate had just came to light.
According to the LSE:
http://www2.lse.ac.uk/publicEvents/events/2011/20110726t1830vOT.aspx
“Transmission date of programme: Wednesday 3rd August, 8pm (repeated on Saturday 6th August at 10.15pm) on BBC Radio 4. ”
That’s GMT of course.
The event took place last night and I attended. My report of it can be read here…
