Excellent and timely little doc, following the fortunes of Steve, a former Woolworths employee, as he struggles to find a new job - just one of over 27,000 former employees now looking for work. Camaraderie and reminiscence abound. [MP3]
Well, it looks like Woolworths has finally gone. Damn. This splendid documentary from Radio 2 reminds us how great Woolworths once was, in its pomp. Specifically the brilliant contribution they made to popular music by making cheap but decent covers available to everyone. Lovely. MP3 here.
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 and James Bridle. Drop us a line with your thoughts, unless you wish to complain about continuity announcers and their accents.
