Adventures in Poetry—Walter de la Mare’s The Listeners

December 8th, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

Adventures in Poetry is up to its ninth series: that's 36 episodes of lovely, accessible, informative radio—the kind of stuff that could be really useful in a school or a college or in the ipod of a poetry nut or anywhere really.

One of these episodes is currently available for you to listen to online (plus this one, I guess). Where are all the others? Where's the nicely-organised library of episodes? Nowhere, that's where: and by this I mean "in storage, on tapes, on a shelf or a hard disk somewhere in the BBC. Effectively lost to us all. And that is heartbreaking and a bit stupid (if you ask me).
