TudoRama
TudoRama explores the nature and practice of creativity in the arts, sciences, politics and above all in everyday life. Tudor Rickards is Emeritus Professor of Creativity and Organizational Change at the University of Manchester. Tudor studied chemistry and radiation chemistry at The University of Wales at Cardiff. Following post-doctoral research at New York Medical College, he returned to the UK to work in technical management before joining Manchester Business School. He has published numerous books and articles on creativity, sporting management and leadership, as well as fictional works involving the mythical University of Urmston. He has been influential in the development of creativity-related projects in Europe, including the European Association for Creativity and Innovation (EACI), and was co-founder (with Susan Moger) of the journal Creativity and Innovation Management. He is also author of detective stories centred around the fictional University of Urmston, and a nearby chess club which houses a top-secret government surveillance operation. His recent switch to podcasting reaches out to a wider general audience interested in current affairs, and the processes of creativity previously described in his lectures, blogposts, and textbooks.

As a long-time exile from Wales, I have to confess that my grasp of the language is pretty bad. So much so that I struggle even to follow the commentary in Welsh of rugby games on SC4.
At the present time, this might be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
However, I am aware of Saint David’s Day falling on March 1 if only because of fading schoolboy memories.
At risk of demonstrating this I’ll have a go, with help from a pronunciation guide, to demonstrate that I only speak a little bit of Welsh, perhaps with a residual Pontypridd accent.
Anyway here goes.
