Hi Christine,
looked it up, hmm v. nice pic. Site lovely too. Just want to tell you the bother though, when I went to contact page, there was nothing there but “christine clear contact” and no email. I searched around and finally found this under your biog. Get onto them again, typical, the technicians going nowadays!
Hi Christine
I am writing in response an item on romantic love on your Valentine’s day programme. I was struck by the contribution of your guest lecturer Christine Clear in which she pointed out the greater context of romantic love – that is that love needs to start with self love. It garnered my interest in a subject that is so often treated in a very predictable way.
Much of the imagery on romantic love is presented in the context of celebrities and bland images. This in my view is portraying a very limited view to youth of how man and women should relate. The staged speed dating section was somewhat tedious. However, I was encouraged by the debate made your panel particularly Christine’s views.
In general I enjoy your programme and hope you will include more in the way of these thought-provoking ideas in the future.
