I’ve been meaning to post this mesmerising episode of WNYC’s Radio Lab since I listened to it late at night while working through a mountain of New Year washing-up a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it was the drink (drink had been taken) but I think this is the best single radio programme I’ve heard in years. It’s about Wagner’s Ring Cycle. Gorgeous, joyful radio (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.
