I like the way Speechification is turning into a useful reference on programme makers and themes. Click on Paul Gambaccini’s name in the links below and you’ll get a page with all the shows presented by him that we’ve featured here. Imagine how useful this will be in a few years time! So I’m really just posting this terrific show from his ‘For One Night Only‘ series to bump up the Paul Gambaccini quotient (MP3).
I went outside earlier on and, blimey, it was Spring! I kid you not: crocuses, twittering birds, the works. So here’s a Spring programme from a couple of years ago. A really lovely half hour about bumble bees from Lionel Kelleway and The Living World. The show went out in April 2005 and you don’t even need this MP3 because the switched-on people in Radio 4’s nature department keep a proper archive so here’s a working Real stream.
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.
