Letter Writing with Shaun Usher

Jon Hillcock sits in for Nemone and talks about the art of letter writing with Letters of Note editor Shaun Usher as part of 成人快手 Radio 6 Music Celebrates The Written Word.

In March, 成人快手 Radio 6 Music had a birthday party. In April, we partied harder celebrating dance culture. Now, having had a bit of a rave, it's time to return to the comfy armchair of life and have a good read. 成人快手 Radio 6 Music Celebrates the Written Word and this week Jon Hillcock, in for Nemone, is celebrating art of letter writing.

Editor of website Letters Of Note, Shaun Usher, is in Culture Club to talk all things letter writing. His website shares moments of correspondence from people of note throughout history, and Shaun joins Jon to reveal the secrets of a good letter in Culture Club.
