Wildlife In Danger: Eric Simms interviews several key figures in world wildlife conservation in 1971 and presents a host of recordings dating back to 1936 of many rare species, several of which are now extinct. Listen out for the sounds of the mating calls of the giant tortoises of the Galapagos!
Originally broadcast on 1st June 2010
Voice On Record is produced and presented by Sean Williams. Each episode features a selection of recordings of the human voice which have been preserved on vinyl. Historic events stand alongside esoteric guides to better bowling. Arid studio recordings are juxtaposed with location recordings rich with fascinating incidental sounds. http://sbkw.net/voiceonrecord.php
Continuing our picking o’er the bones of the original and slightly different series from 2008, this week we find the peace of the Resonance studio shattered by the sudden clanging of the Rhino Alarm; a new safety device installed by despotic station master Thomas Weaver-Baxter as an early warning system to alert the team of the dangers of nearby rhinoceroses. This potentially life-threatening situation forces Yummy Mummy to temporarily abandon the show and seek shelter in the Resonance wardrobe. But where could that rhino have come from? Can anyone save them? How will they ever get it out of the studio? And where on earth is Mr. Weaver-Baxter while all this is going on? Moderately diverting nonsense for children old enough to know better.
Panel Borders: Chris Ware and Daniel Clowes – the deconstructed American male
Continuing Panel Borders’ month long look at depictions of Masculinity in American Comics, Alex Fitch talks to award winning graphic novelists Chris Ware and Daniel Clowes who both publish their work first as chapters in periodicals Acme Novelty Library and Eightball respectively. Ware’s graphic novel, Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth, won the Guardian First Book Award in 2001, while Clowes’ Art School Confidential and Ghost World have both been adapted as American Independent films, the latter seeing the author nominated for his Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2002 Academy Awards…

Inspired by Thomas Burke’s The Outer Circle: Rambles in Remote London, Nick Papadimitriou and John Rogers explore the far-lying eastern suburb of Ilford.
Burke , like other writers of the early 20th Century, was disdainful of Ilford. Writing in 1921 he said of ‘the Eastern Queen’ that, “After Walthamstow it comes as tepid soda-water upon an August noon. Ilford wears an expression of unfulfilled desire. It hungers for colour. Even the rush and turmoil about the Broadway have a frigid tone.”
Nick and John ignored his advice and headed out along the Romford Road to find a visionary landscape, optimistic and vibrant, ‘rising from alluvial Essex’.
