Radio Roundup

Headlining this week is the radio play which CHANGED MY LIFE (no exaggeration), which someone has kindly put up on some sort of file-sharing website. Apparently the audio isn't great but as the BBC seems loath to rerun it, this is the best you're gonna get, so download it while you still can.

Other things ...

The Cage, by Bertram Chandler - Sci-fi short story. How do you prove an alien species is rational?
The Birth of Art and How They Done the Cave Paintings and How Michaelangelo Done the Sistine Chapel - The Arts and How They Was Done is one of those odd shows which, when it comes around again, I am excited for; when I listen to it it's not as good as I remember; and when it leaves I wish I had recorded it. It's back again! It's an odd mix of comic and poignant, nicely multilayered. My favourite is the Taj Mahal episode but that's not for a couple weeks yet.
The Door in the Wall - I link to this every time it comes around because it has a way of getting into one's head, and I can't not try to get it into others'.
John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme - ... is just great, I may have mentioned.

Enjoy ...
