This week begins the re-run of Odd Girl Out from the beginning. And, so, to show one, which featured an archive chat with Ari Up and her mum, Nora.

Here's a gem I found online.

Monday, 14 November 2011

This week's show features two sparkling new interviews, the first with artist Susie MacMurray, and the second with director Dee Rees, discussing her new film, Pariah.

This week will be my last show on Optical Radio. Odd Girl Out will then go on hiatus and may return in some new form. Keep an eye out here for information. In the meantime, the show will be repeating in the usual slots on Optical, at least for awhile.

As this will be the last show, I thought I would make the music a selection of tunes that mean something to me, a musical My Life Story.

Here is the trailer for Pariah.
