The Vultures' Nest
>> CULTURAL CARRION CARRY-ON << The Vultures' Nest is Radio 2SER's weekly cultural affairs show hosted by culture vultures: Jessie Keath, Jess Tuckwell, Karla Arnall and Fiona Pepper. Every week the vultures swoop on two cultural affairs, bring them back to the nest and tear them apart. That is to say, they're incisive. "Cultural affairs" isn't just what's happening in the arts. The vultures pick through anything with meat on it from 3D-printed guns to contemporary slavery to lab made meat. The nest has an alternating spot for regular expert guests from: Politics, Social Justice, Gender Studies, and Letters.
