A blog of Radio 4. Not about Radio 4 but of it. We point to the bits we like, the bits you might have missed, the bits that someone might have sneakily recorded. Other speech radio from around the world will no doubt find its way here too.

<![CDATA[
This programme is described as an Acoustic Archaeology of Elizabethan England. What could be more up speechification&#8217;s street than Acoustic Archaeology? It&#8217;s a splendid programme too. Fanciful, imaginative, slightly silly sometimes, draped in gorgeous noises, the sort of thing radio does particularly well. MP3 here.

<title><![CDATA[Lifeboats on The Thames]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
I remember the Marchioness disaster for a couple of reasons, because a neighbour of ours was on the ship, and survived, and because many of those that didn&#8217;t made it all the way down to Putney; a grim sight on the way to school. But I didn&#8217;t know that the Thames lifeboats weren&#8217;t established until [...]

<title><![CDATA[Soul Music: So What]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve always liked the sound of jazz, but never really liked the music. The soundscapes, the tones are perfect and inviting and lovely. And then, after the first go round with the tune it dissolves into tedious improvisatory wibbling. So when I was alerted to this programme about Miles Davis and So What by a [...]

<title><![CDATA[Document: Britain’s Cuban Missile Crisis]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
While everyone&#8217;s wibbling on about the world crashing around our ears it&#8217;s worth listening to this programme - about a time when it nearly was; when unflappable gents were parked in Vulcan bombers, only half a minute away from taking off with their nuclear payloads and various people had to make serious plans about how [...]

<![CDATA[
The true function of Speechification is to uncover the gems you missed or the ones you heard and would like to hear again. I suppose this is the kind of thing we might expect the BBC to do for us but while they&#8217;re getting around to it, here&#8217;s another terrific programme from my archive: it&#8217;s [...]

<description>
<![CDATA[
My ten year-old son&#8217;s latest reason for refusing to get out of bed before eight O&#8217;Clock on a school day is a brilliant twelve-part story by Malorie Blackman on BBC7. It&#8217;s a nicely told plucky-adolescent-saves-the-world thriller called Hacker and it&#8217;s got computers in it but not in an annoying way. I enjoyed using the theft of [...]

<description>
<![CDATA[
A wonderfully atmospheric doco on the lamed vav tzaddikim, the 36 beings who keep the world turning according to Jewish tradition. There&#8217;s a lovely associated photo gallery here, featuring photos by Todd Weinstein, and nice sound work from sound engineer Russell Stapleton. ABC Radio National: Radio Eye: Double Life [mp3]

<title><![CDATA[Questions, Questions]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
There have probably been programmes like this on Radio 4 since before the dawn of time (1972). I remember Enquire Within very fondly. But Questions, Questions seems particularly well-suited to the interactive world of now. It&#8217;s a simple affair - people write in about stuff they&#8217;d like to know about, and the programme makes a [...]

<description>
<![CDATA[
Another documentary masterclass from the Irish. I&#8217;m not going to go on about it because I&#8217;ve said all this before but over at RTE Radio One they have a strand called Documentary on One: a long-running series of handsome, entirely artless 45-minute features on different aspects of Irish life. Here&#8217;s the latest show, which is [...]

<![CDATA[
Sometimes Radio Four is slothful and supine, lazy in a bed of licence fees. And sometimes, like on Big Bang Day it&#8217;s just the best thing in the world ever. They took the hoohah over the turning on of the LHC and built a suite of programmes around it that proved exactly why it&#8217;s such [...]
