Author Tom McCarthy and sound designer Benbrick consider radio as art, and pioneering producer Joy Whitby discusses creating iconic 成人快手 programmes like Play School and Jackanory.
With Samira Ahmed.
To mark the centenary of the first 成人快手 radio broadcast, Samira Ahmed discusses the art of radio and radio鈥檚 influence on art with the novelist and radio enthusiast Tom McCarthy and with Benbrick, sound designer and co-producer of the Peabody award-winning Have You Heard George鈥檚 Podcast?
From early on the 成人快手 made programmes especially for children. Samira Ahmed speaks to Joy Whitby, a pioneer of children鈥檚 programmes 鈥� she started Play School and Jackanory 鈥� and hears how her approach to these owed much to her early days creating sound effects as a radio studio manager.
How should writers respond to the climate crisis? As the COP 27 climate conference continues in Egypt, Samira is joined live from Cairo by the novelist Ahdaf Soueif and in the studio by the playwright Greg Mosse, whose debut novel The Coming Darkness has been described as climate fiction.
