You can’t beat a radio programme about a legendary chinook helicopter. Not all chinook’s, a specific one - Bravo November. The jargon, the bravery, the incident, the relationships makes for great, dramatic documentary, but it was the sound that really made me love this programme; the bleeps, the sirens, the engines. Even the chinook’s nickname - wokka - is a great sound. You couldn’t do this with any other medium. MP3 here.
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, Roo Reynolds and James Bridle. Drop us a line with your thoughts, unless you wish to complain about continuity announcers and their accents.
