Tom Mangold’s warm, grave voice rushes me back to a childhood of very serious and grown-up Panoramas (he was on the show for 26 years). He presents this programme - from the Beeb’s religion department - about a remarkable man, Jim McCloskey, a Newark presbyterian who works to get wrongly convicted people released from New Jersey’s jails (MP3).
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.
You might also enjoy the square-eyed sister site, Watchification.
