You lucky, lucky people. You can now listen to me talking about criticism on the BBC. Had loads of fun with this. I’m glad they exclusively used my most call-to-arms quotes. @Arifa_Akbar https://t.co/gbmCjRgcbT

Thank you Damian - it was magical to hear you speak about Diana

[Damian Barr @Damian_Barr]

Life and death and everything. It was very moving to be part of this program, talking about my friendship with Diana Athill, our love and her death. It's an oddly comforting listen after recent events - thoughtful and deep. Grateful to the team who made it.

[Sarah O'Reilly @MsSarahOReilly]

A ‘fascinating examination’ of the phenomenon of the last interview. Thank you @SimonOHagan @RadioTimes for making us your radio pick of the day!
