Imagine my surprise to find CultureGrrl touted on BBC Radio 4‘s website yesterday, in a podcast by Mary Beard, a professor of classics at Cambridge, who has long had me on the blogroll of her own blog for the London Times Literary Supplement, A Don’s Life.
In her BBC comments, she singled out CultureGrrl and two other blogs for special praise. I could quote what she said, but I’d rather let you hear it in her own plummy accent, which gives it that special stamp of professorial authority. I’ve edited to include only her introduction and her CultureGrrl remarks (but you can hear the whole thing at the above BBC link).
Click below, and Beard will be heard:
Thanks, Mary!
