I'm posting this episode of the Museum of Curiosity mostly because of the way Clive James talks about fighter planes. Eloquent, interesting, informed. What's slightly depressing is the way your typical Radio 4 studio audience and panel is either amazed by or sniggering at the idea of someone being interested in, or informed about, things like planes. Or, as with Philip Pullman's contribution, tools. Ah well. Worth a listen. MP3 here.
bookmarks by: delicious.comA 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.
