ANNOUNCEMENT

I regret to announce the discontinuance of Book of the Month and Track of the Month on PHIDOC which began in March 2018. All my monthly ‘appreciations’ (110 altogether) will still be available on the site.

Unfortunately, as some of you already know, I’m currently suffering severe liver cancer, and although undergoing chemotherapy, it is unlikely that I shall live for more than another four-five months. Obviously I need to use the time I have left in other ways.

In addition, taking serious note of the escalating tension between Russia and Ukraine PHIDOC’s ‘Play It Again, Sam – Rewind Radio’ page now includes the first radio performance of Tom Stoppard’s play Rock ‘n’ Roll which references James Joyce at its very start. You can find it here (drilling down to the bottom):
