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.

<title><![CDATA[Snakes]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
Atlantic Public Media curates a weekly podcast of nature programmes from all around North American public radio - a pretty rich source, it turns out. Here's a lovely short feature from the 1980s about snakes, produced by Public Radio veteran Jay Allison. Wouldn't it be great to add the BBC's radio nature programmes to the mix? [...]

<title><![CDATA[Whatever Happened To The Teapots?]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
There aren't enough Midlands accents on the radio. That's just true. These lovely programmes help to rectify that and add all sorts of splendid talk about Thatcher teapots, dog chews and the relative competitiveness of Stoke and China. MP3 here. And here are programmes 2, 3, 4, and 5.

<title><![CDATA[The Curious Ear: Under Stands]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
The Curious Ear is Ronan Kelly's feature strand for RTE Radio 1 in Ireland. Kelly wins awards all over the place for this stuff. It's always playful, often very moving (maybe sometimes a bit too arch). This one's lovely. It's about the people you'll find under the stands at Dublin's legendary GAA venue Croke Park [...]

<title><![CDATA[A Cymbal Tale]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
Andrew McGibbon is a speechification favourite. An original voice, an even more original perspective, and he always make programmes about unexpected and delightful topics. This one, as you might have guessed, is about cymbals - a history and exploration taking us from before the Bible to after Spandau Ballet, including the 32nd oldest company in [...]

<title><![CDATA[Child of the State]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
Leo, a correspondent, recommended this programme to us, and he's right, it's splendid. Thanks Leo. It's the story of Lemn Sissay's attempts to revisit some of the people and places of his childhood - when he lived in foster care and children's homes. It's touching and illuminating - a human perspective on something that we [...]

<title><![CDATA[Runaway Train]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
You'll dash through this - fifteen minutes of classical radio documentary values delivered at speed. Entirely satisfying (and very exciting). Good music too. Lovely pics and a transcript of the gripping, deadpan radio transmissions that form the basis of the programme here.

<![CDATA[
Fabulous performance from the wonderful writer James Ellroy on WYNC's Studio 360. Absolutely hilarious, whilst ably demonstrating the great American love of language. Studio 360: James Ellroy [mp3]

<description>
<![CDATA[
Hugh Sykes visits Madley Communications Centre, near Hereford, the site of the world's largest earth satellite station (you can see it on Google Maps). Madley reaches out over the Atlantic and even to the Indian Ocean to communicate with geostationary satellites, providing the vital link in the transmission of raw news - and has played a [...]

<![CDATA[
A brief little series of 15 minute episodes about music's power to move people geographically as well as emotionally, Musical Migrants ran in 2008 and again in 2009. Here's the fourth programme from Series 1: Belgian bandoneon player Eva Wolff describes her arrival in Buenos Aires, and her introduction to Tango, in the context of Argentina's [...]

<title><![CDATA[Radiolab – Parasites]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
I'm in awe. I honestly don't know how they do it. They chortle and hesitate and miss cues and improvise - and then they back up and do it again. They run two interviews at the same time, questions from one interleaved with answers from the other. They use the ragged ends of recordings as [...]
