This is the last show from Richard on Westcott's World . We will miss all his insightful interesting views of his life in America. Thank you Richard from all your fans here in Frome, you are a brilliant broadcaster. He gives us a wonderful range of music, some of his most favourite . In his last Letter from America he ruminates on the state of politics in our world. If we are to survive in these turbulent times "we will have to make home, belonging and dignity an urgent priority."
Don't forget you can listen to all the past WW programmes on Mixcloud and listen to Richard on his award winning Podcast https://www.howdowefixit.me/

Westcott's World - Frome FM - Fromenations #19
https://www.mixcloud.com/FromeFM/242-westcotts-world-300725-fromenations-19/
In this week’s show, its all about numbers, songs with numbers in it's title . Proclaimers, Steely Dan, The Byrds and others all grace our show this week.
In his Letter From America Richard talks of a divided 'tribal' America and that we are less likely than ever to know someone from the other tribe. As a result, many of us have the wrong impression about what they really believe. It would be a good time to reach out and try to understand the other side.
