Oxford Lives - Episode 41 with Patrick McGuinness

Our latest guest is academic, critic, novelist, poet and author of Real Oxford, Patrick McGuinness.

In this riveting interview, McGuinness reveals his fascination with aspects of the city seldom depicted in cinema and TV drama: its polarities and peculiarities, quirks and contrasts, and the visible remnants of a past constantly nudging at the present.
