Horror – part 1
Voice On Record brings you the voice of Bill Mitchell reading Tales Of Mystery And Imagination by Edgar Allen Poe and also introducing the unmistakable tones of Hammer House of Horror’s Christopher Lee as Dracula.

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
Yummy Mummy: Series 2, episode 6
Resonance FM’s high-octane, low-concept children’s light entertainment bonanza for forward-thinking little people and backward-thinking big people. This week finds evil Station Commander Thomas Weaver-Baxter unable to endure another serving of Resonance’s most childish children’s show and so decides to find out what the other stations in the fair city of London have to offer. To his extreme chagrin all they seem able to offer is yet more Yummy Mummy, whose rapidly accelerating fame has forced him to shop around for further endorsements. Yes, for one shining and final moment, every other station in London is going to sound just a little but like Resonance FM. What better way to end the series, other than a sincere promise that it won’t happen again?

Six Pillars – Drinking Arak Off An Ayatollah’s Beard
Venturing around Iran and Afghanistan with a copy of the Shahnameh tucked under his arm, Nicholas Jubber relates what this pivotal introduction taught him about modern people who still love this medieval text.
Jubber explains how The Shahnameh, or Persian Book of Kings, is still very much alive today for many people, even 1000 years after it’s completion.
His book certainly has it’s own style and he visited the Resonance104.4FM studios to explain certain points: from beards to butchers to free motorbikes.

Episode 3 – Scarp
This week John Rogers and Nick Papadimitriou head out onto the North Middlesex/South Hertfordshire Escarpment, subject of a forthcoming book by Nick.
Scarp is a conspicuous but broken ridge running from Batchworth Heath, near Harefield, on the Middlesex-Buckinghamshire border, via Oxhey to Elstree and thence eastward to High Barnet. Further east, the ridge runs through Hadley and Enfield Chase, widening considerably north of the former place towards Shenley and North Mimms. The eastern edge of Scarp curves north and then north-east, following the River Lee upstream into Hertfordshire, until it diminishes in height in the region of Hertford and Great Amwell. Much of the land is green belt broken by small clusters of dwellings, old farms and ribbons of Victorian suburban houses. Scarp attains its greatest height at Stanmore Common (480 ft).
With a reading from the book by Nick Papadimitriou and music by Europa51
