Over a background showing misty trees on a mountainous landscape, white text reads “What I loved most was the soundscape. I could hear the water, the cabins, the forest and trees, the well. It was incredibly evocative. I could feel my feet ploughing up the mountain... I could hear the salmon farm tanks. There was so much water.”
Today Wolf Valley is available to devour entirely wherever you listen to podcasts! 🥳
Thank you so much to everyone who has tuned in over the last month and especially those who have written to us with generous feedback about your listening experience.
a beautiful reading of The Witch of Fife for our AT Classics collection, and as sound designer and composer for Fits and Starts. She is always willing to go the extra mile to get the perfect take – including recording from the pool for this scene in Wolf Valley!

How do you capture the soundscape of a character in the water? DUH, actor in a pool! 🏊♀️
A screenshot of the BBC sounds app showing the live feed of bbc radio 4 Limelight— Wolf Valley. The cover art shows an outline of a blue/grey wolf, within which we see the mountainous coast of the Norwegian fjords, and a white car facing the viewer with snow falling in front of the headlights. All caps text reads Wolf Valley across the centre, with the BBC and Limelight logos at the top and bottom, respectively.
