Radio 4


Isn't Radio 4 brilliant? I mean really brilliant. You can start the day with Today, get an update with World At One, see how things have developed with PM and then round off the day with The World Tonight.

Radio 4 has a rhythm, a tapestry to which you can set your day by. I don't get to listen to them all every day, that would be a bit excessive, but I do try my best. It's very informative and you do get some good political interviews.

Radio 4's other great bastion is comedy. It has the strap line, “Home of Radio Comedy”. I'm not sure whether there are any other places to listen to radio comedy, but Radio 4 does it very good. There are a raft of fantastic comedies, sitcoms and panel shows. I'm currently listening to “I've Never Seen Star Wars” with Jenni Murray, funny and interesting. That's what you get with Radio 4 comedy, funny and interesting. I heard the “Unbelievable Truth” earlier, amazingly good listening to David Mitchell rant about tomatoes.

I hate the Archers though. Can't stand that at all, despite my girlfriends best attempts to rectify that fact.

  1. How is she trying to rectify that then? Take you to a farm/stroke the sheep? That sort of thing?
