Radio programmes recommended

Cabin Pressure is starting f again in Sunday’s from this coming week!

I find More or Less very interesting and gets to the bottom of many stats. Also The Archers, when it gets going again
Miss Marple. The Citadel
Lots on radios 4 and 4extra. Also Much Watch on radio 5 - best to get the podcast for that

I’ve just tried radio4extra while taking my walk thanks for the recommendation. Listened to 2 episodes of ‘ Hancocks Half-hour’, I was laughing out loud at some of it, thankfully I don’t meet many people where I walk.

I started listening to 'Cranford' yesterday on BBC sounds app as I went for my daily trudge nature walk. So amusing and so well read. Those ladies would fit right in to Gransnet today.

I recently listened to Hilary Mantel's the Mirror and the Light and Floss on the Mill on Radio 4's drama programs on my phone. It was lovely sitting in the garden with the earplugs in and being told a story. They have several to choose from.

A Good Read on Radio 4 is one of my favourites. It’s a lovely half hour with the presenter and two guests discussing their favourite books. Tune into BBC Sounds and you will find lots of previous recordings.

I listen to BBC R4Extra a lot and enjoy much of the content. Using the BBC Sounds website, you can scroll through the daily radio schedules and pick out a play or comedy or whatever and listen when you choose.

I like doing tapestry whilst listening to a good play. I have just enjoyed a John Mortimer piece, with the lovely actress Anna Massey.
I find a radio play lifts the boredom of ironing, too ?

you've obviously got access to the internet, and there are so many more radio programmes available through that.
have you tried BBC Radio 4 Extra; it plays many of the classic comedies, also dramas; eg Round the Horn, the Navy Lark.
also for music, Angel Radio, plays vintage music from the 1920s to 1950s, mostly, and is run by a delightful bunch of vintage amateurs on the south coast.
for news/ discussion programmes, i like BBC radio 5 Live, LBC, and Talk Radio. they often have phone-ins with experts.
happy listening.

Why don’t you just listen to a BBC Radio 4? There’s a huge range of content throughout the day, and you can knit, paint, cook or do chores with it on all the time. Result - more productivity and a continually mind-broadening experience at the same time.

Sorry forgot I say they’re on BBC sounds.

If you want a smile try The Unbelievable Truth panel game. Or a quick The Music Teacher episode. I love the comedy.

Thank you Daddima and Jane43
I’ve just downloaded it It’s just what I wanted

Have you got the app BBC Sounds? I use it a lot.

There are plays and audiobooks on YouTube, and lots of stuff on the BBC Sounds app.
I like podcasts too, like Answer Me This, Graham Norton and Frank Skinner.
