Loved chatting with Mitra Kaboli on The Selects podcast about radio in translation and our gaps in memory and language, which obscure the radical, experimental history of the medium… pod.fo/e/3fa2d5

Enjoyed this ghostly wander through singing walls, over underground rivers and past a chorus of haunted air conditioners… and particularly @drmatthewsweet.bsky.social’s curse on those who might hollow out our imaginative spaces in order to build luxury flats…

okay, y'all: what do you think is the best narrative documentary podcast that reveals how a system works -- any system -- through intimate, riveting storytelling?

Great to read @teddyjamieson.bsky.social's on our Radio 4 doc Into the Ether - a search for the ghosts from radio's past, including 1992's Jason and the Thunderbirds "It was hair-raising and heartbreaking.
