Yesterday on the BBC Radio 4 "Midweek" show [09:00z], one of the interviewees was Tom Karen, the designer of mid-last-century Bush radios, the Raleigh Chopper bike, and the Reliant Scimitar.

Even though he's in his 90s, he still has strong ideas about design!

You should still be able to catch this on the iPlayer thingy.
