I’m only putting this up because I was goaded to by ‘Birmingham: It’s Not Shit (mildly sarcastic since 2002)’. The best bit of this essentially indescribable doc is the laughter of a contemporary Brummie audience at the 1980 vision of their city presented in ‘Telly Savalas looks at Birmingham’. You can see parts of the film itself here and here. (MP3)
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.
You might also enjoy the square-eyed sister site, Watchification.
