You’d think with four contributors (four!) things might have picked up round here. So, just to show we haven’t gone bankrupt or on holiday, here’s an almost perfect Archive Hour from March 2005 about idiosyncratic genius sound recordist (and calypso fanatic) Emory Cook - another man I would really like to have met. That’s all I’m saying. You’ll just have to listen (MP3).
The pic is from The Smithsonian.
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, 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.
