Speechification

• A blog of Radio 4. Not about Radio 4 but of it. We point to the bits we like, the bits you might have missed, the bits that someone might have sneakily recorded. Other speech radio from around the world will no doubt find its way here too.

  Of course, one day this might turn into something else, maybe a new way of curating speech radio, or maybe it won’t.

  Your hosts on this not very wild ride are Steve Bowbrick, Russell Davies, Dan Hill, Bobbie Johnson and James Bridle. Drop us a line with your thoughts, unless you wish to complain about continuity announcers and their accents.

  You might also enjoy the square-eyed sister site, Watchification.

    "We can´t survive without them -- and we´ve long underestimated their prowess. Controversially, bacteria could even have cognitive talents that rival our own. Predatory behaviour, cooperation, memory -- Jules Verne eat your heart out -- Natasha Mitchell takes you on a strange adventure into the secret world of microbial mentality" via Hugh

  • How To Get Things Really Flat | Radio 4
    The first section of BBC Radio 4's latest Book of the Week sounded pretty good when I heard it before the shipping forecast last night. How to: wash clothes. "Read by Shaun Dooley" who sounds just right.

  • The Draftsman's Contract, Episode 1 | BBC Radio 4
    "Shaun Ley examines the work of the people who actually write our country's legislation - the Parliamentary draftsmen - and whether laws should be gender-neutral, simpler and fewer." I know it's easy to draw parallels between law and code, but there were moments in this short radio show when it was unavoidable.
