Invisible Cities: Toronto

November 11th, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

Canadian radio. We sometimes do Canadian radio. Here's a lovely soundscape about Toronto, from CBC's And The Winner Is... podcast, which features Canadian shows that have won radio awards around the world. I'm linking to the MP3 on the CBC site so if it's gone away by the time you click to listen, let me know. Here's what they say on the CBC web site:

Toronto is the city the rest of Canada loves to hate. It's the largest city in the country. It's a financial hub and it is, to some, the centre of the universe. But what is Toronto really like? This week on And the Winner Is... we'll hear an award-winning portrait of the invisible Toronto - from the sounds of the city, to the stories overheard on the subway, to the tales told by the people who live there.

As far as I can tell, this version is a 35-minute edit of the one hour original, presumably trimmed to fit an on-air slot. Pity we couldn't hear the full length version online though...

Between The Ears: UK Crossfade

July 1st, 2008 by Russell Davies

I've started this post about five times in the last week. And it's no good, I can't think of anything clever to say about this programme. It's a series of UK soundscapes, each faded into the next, with a little puzzle buried in it. It's very good and everything, it's part of the always listenable Between The Ears series on Radio 3, but I can't think of anything to add. You should just have a listen. MP3 here.
