Radio Roundup
Jun. 15th, 2016 09:36 amI've had this half-baked list sitting in my drafts for a while; I post it in the hope that some of these, at least, may not have expired yet...
Pick of the week:
The Science of Resilience - This is an EXCELLENT PROGRAMME and I HIGHLY recommend everyone listen to it RIGHT NOW. Seriously, just do it, you won't regret it. Fascinating and useful.
The Man Who Was Thursday - swashbuckling and surreal Edwardian adventure from G.K. Chesterton
The Brothers Karamazov - I don't know much about it and didn't get around to listening to it (alas!) but I am developing a sincere fellow-feeling with Dostoevsky, so if you have similar, you may enjoy.
Painting the Loneliness - A look at the feelings and artist behind the famous (and oft-parodied) painting Nighthawks
Soul Music: Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis - This piece means a lot to me; it's interesting to hear what it means to others, and to learn a bit about its creation. Something I learned: if listening to this while working on animation of a dead polar explorer, you may be attacked by The Feels. SURPRISE!
Departure - Excellent radio play about (essentially) a flying Dignitas.
Soundstage: The Oak Woodland - Gorgeous soundscape of oak woods through the year. Best with headphones. Utterly transporting and reviving.
