Speechification

I can do no better than quote from the world service’s site:

“Each year the BBC World Service collaborates with radio stations from around the world to make a documentary series on a contemporary subject of international importance and interest. Each partner station contributes a documentary which gives a local interpretation of the chosen theme, and this year the theme is Escape.”

Splendid idea. You can listen to all eight programmes here. I’ve done about half and they’re all good so far. And they serve to illustrate that it’s not just the Beeb making interesting radio. Escape From Time is a good example of the way American public radio seems much happier than the BBC to play with sound and music when telling a story. Good stuff. MP3 here.
