I've spent most of my working life writing for newspapers, but love radio too. I got to combine the two in this @BBCRadio4 series I've produced/presented. Kind of a love letter to local news reporters and it starts today at 1.45pm, just before the Archers. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Just one week after publishing, the Open Letter on the future funding for the @AudioFund has over 200 signatures 😎👍 If you haven't, please add your name now and encourage others to do so - anyone can sign, freelancers, company employees and individuals audiocontentfundfuture.org
@reillyusa @manairport It’s not like that at T2. We’ve been queuing for 2+hrs and getting nowhere. I’m trying to get an unaccompanied teenager on a flight to Tblisi. No explanations, no one in charge. A world class international airport?!?
Ep 3 of our new @BBCRadio4 drama 'Our Friends in the North' airs today at 14:15! Opening in 1967, Nicky turns his back on the Labour Party, Mary and Tosker’s new flat is crumbling and Scotland Yard’s Dirty Squad come up with a solution... bbc.in/3uILwc2

Superb & compelling radio: Our Friends In The North @bbc4drama by Peter Flannery, directed by Melanie Harris @SparklabProds first of episodes today. Great voices & cast, muscular & witty drama, the story is so relevant to our unlevel society right now.

I was nervous about this, but it’s perfect … bravo @SparklabProds bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/…
Listen back to 'Banding: Love, Spit and Valve Oil' tinyurl.com/MG-banding @Martin_Green__ explores the phenomenon that is modern brass banding, asking, what continues to draw people in? 🎺 Prod @becca_gaskell & @Martin_Green__ A @LepusArts & @SparklabProds co-production
We love Lepus! Making a 3-part R4 series with them...
The big question we've all been asking; What is Lepus? Script Editor Kate Leys talks about the "not at all secret network joining amazing people up" to explain how Lepus work with talented artists to make something new, exciting and slightly different! lepus-arts.com/what-is-lepus

We're very sorry to hear of the passing of #PiersPlowright - many thanks to @sewell7 for drawing our attention to this interview
Sad to hear that the hugely influential BBC radio producer #PiersPlowright has died. Anyone who is interested in the art of radio production should listen to this podcast interview in which he discusses his career… rogerkneebone.libsyn.com/piers-plowrigh…
3pm on @BBCRadio4, 'The Last of England' is a darkly comic drama by Neil McKay. On an overnight ferry to Santander, 3 friends try (and fail) to come to terms with life, death and Brexit. Starring @fayemckeever, @heresaclue2, @georgebukhari, Anthony O'Donnell & Gary Lewis
I love this
And what I didn’t know, or couldn’t see then / Was that she hadn’t really gone / The dead don’t go till you do, loved ones / The dead are still there holding our hands ❤️#NationalCovidMemorialWall💻Read thisiscolossal.com/2021/04/covid-…🖊#JackieKay🏴@JackieKayPoet 💻more.poetrysociety.org.uk/lib/tmp/cmsfil…
