I finished colouring my graphic novel on Monday, so for the foreseeable future I'll be doing the sort of work that can't divide attention with radio. Alas! I sure got in a lot of it towards the end, though.

You're Dead To Me - Would you look at that, even MORE episodes of this excellent and very imbibable history podcast. New subjects ( Read more... )

As you may have gathered from the lack of posts, things are a bit busy around here. Luckily, in the last couple of weeks, they've been busy in a "listening to lots of radio" kind of way. So here are some programmes that have caught in the baleen of my brain, or which I intend to sift this week:

In Our Time: Animal Farm - Experts discuss ( Read more... )

I've been throwing links into a rolling Radio Roundup draft practically all year, then they expire before I manage to code it and post it. So, here is a very random collection of listening, helped significantly by an increase in the number of programmes being hosted either permanently or on extended 'loan.' Not much comedy this time around, but ( Read more... )

Been a while since I've done one of these ... but at the same time, it's been a while since I've been working on something that has allowed (or indeed necessitated) interesting words coming in my ears. But the last week or so I've been doing the most extremely basic colouring-in, so interesting radio has been essential.

The BBC has really been pulling out all the stops to entertain the British public during this dark time. I don't know if this is part of that or just a whim of the controllers, but the radio schedule is just packed with goodies, so in order not to miss out on any myself, I am compelled to index them here. If you want a listen, then as always, you ( Read more... )

FACTUAL
A Weekend in Butetown - Did you know Cardiff has had a thriving Somali community for over a hundred years? I learned that from this documentary several years ago, and that's why I have a Somali wagon driver delivering goods to the Terra Nova in my comic.
Britain's Black Revolutionary - As the working class grew and enabled the Industrial ( Read more... )

I'm back in the comfortable old shoes of drawing all day and listening to radio programmes to keep me on task, so for the first time in a long time, here is a reccs list!

CBC
Q - The CBC's arts and culture show - I haven't listened in ages, but had 383 unlistened podcasts on my iTunes so last week it was easier just to set them playing than hunt ( Read more... )

While I was packing and tidying in advance of travelling, I turned on Radio 4 and heard the most perfect spiel about the interdependence of mankind and how we've been conditioned to reject it. But I was busy, so didn't look it up, and failed to note the day or time so I could look it up in future, and so I thought it lost ( Read more... )

And now, an entry for the gallery of deeply inappropriate title graphics:
