Whoop! - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Howard Jacobson deplores the fashion for "whooping" as a mark of approval, and sees it as a species of social blackmail."The whoop is on an errand to keep things simple. That which strikes audiences as true because it is what they think already, elicits a whoop."

Producer: Sheila Cook.
