Thanks, friends, and lol Mark about the simultaneous Ogler and Vita Nova!

I just listened to the show, not being able to listen to it live, and I was rather disappointed. They used my translation of the prose from the VN, but I have no idea where they got that translation of the great sonnet Tanto gentile e tanto onesta pare, one of the greatest of Dante's sonnets and very famous in Italy. The reader of the Italian sounded whimpering, and the translation was awful. I plan to write to BBC to complain that they credited me with it.
