Episode 2: Leytonstone & Leyton -
The North-Eastern frontier
This week’s show comes to you entirely from
Leytonstone & Leyton as Nick Papadimitriou and
John Rogers explore the valley of the Philly Brook –
the buried and forgotten stream that runs beneath
the streets of the London zone that begat Alfred
Hitchcock, London’s short-lived ‘Left Bank’
and the great Panjandum. This is an area sitting
on the north-eastern frontier, within a triangulation
of green spaces - Leyton Marshes, Wanstead Flats
and Epping Forest. This is also a place that by the
mid-1990s had the largest population of artists of
anywhere in Britain. There are field recordings as
Nick and John go in search of the stream and are
joined by local historian David Boote and reading
by Heidi Lapaine with music by Europa 51.

Yummy Mummy: Series 2, episode 4
Resonance FM’s high-octane, low-concept children’s light entertainment bonanza for forward-thinking little people and backward-thinking big people. This week, in a desperate bid to force the sartorially-challenged station staff to smarten up their collective act, Resonance Commander-in-Chief Thomas Weaver-Baxter has ordered a large antique ornamental mirror to be hung above the studio’s mantelpiece. Predictably, it turns out to be magic and sends Yummy Mummy off on another wild adventure. Features graphic reconstructions of fairies being eaten by lions.

Panel Borders: The man who painted cats
Starting a month of shows about anthropomorphic or ‘funny animal’ comics we’re proud to present a panel recorded at this year’s Comica festival: TV / BBC Radio comedy writer David Quantick and underground cartoonist Edwin Pouncey, a.k.a. Savage Pencil talk about their graphic novel, currently serialised in Alan Moore’s magazine Dodgem Logic, which concerns the life of Louis Wain, Edwardian painter of cats whose work became increasingly experimental as his mental health deteriorated. The two creators discuss their interest in Wain, the depiction of his life and his cats in their comic, and the important use of Feline Ophthalmology and wallpaper in fine art! (Recorded, edited and introduced by Alex Fitch)
