SAT SAT 08:00 Archive on 4 b01f1nf9 (Listen) SAT More Than Just Whale Music SAT Since Irving Teibel created his Environments label in the US SAT in the late 1960s, recorded natural sound has been a SAT commercial proposition, sought by city-dwellers to re-kindle SAT elemental connections. And his recordings of rain falling in SAT pine forests or sleepy lagoons, thunderstorms, waves SAT crashing and birds singing were deemed significant enough SAT for NASA to send into space on Voyager in 1977. A decade SAT later in the UK, Duncan Macdonald launched WildSounds - SAT initially to teach people to distinguish different SAT birdsongs, but soon adding 'atmospheres' from the Amazon or SAT the African veldt. SAT Christine Finn explores the appeal of recorded natural sound SAT and how it's been manipulated by musicians since the first SAT live broadcast of birdsong in 1924, when the cellist SAT Beatrice Harrison duetted with a nightingale in her garden. SAT When sound engineer Quentin Howard was launching Classic FM SAT in 1992, he used a loop of birdsong recorded in his garden. SAT Radio Birdsong drew appreciative comments from listeners who SAT claimed it relaxed them. Psychologist Eleanor Ratcliffe is SAT investigating why natural sounds hold this appeal. SAT Finn explores the boundaries between natural sound and SAT ambient music, and hears from musician Kit Watkins how SAT living in the mountains of Virginia caused him to use the SAT natural sounds around him in his compositions; she meets SAT Matthew Herbert, whose album One Pig uses natural sound of a SAT different kind to trace the life of a pig, from birth to SAT plate. SAT Finn discovers there's a lot more to recorded natural sound SAT than just whale music, but also finds that whale music, far SAT from simply wafting among New Age crystals, played a major SAT role in launching the conservation movement of the 70s.

MON Maddox takes a moral stance with disastrous results. MON Maddox ..... John Sessions MON Oliver ..... Alex Jennings MON Freddy ..... Stephen Wight MON Carol ..... Polly Frame MON Masha ..... Debbie Chazen MON With Joanna Monro, Sean Baker MON Adeel Akhtar,Henry Devas MON and Sam Dale MON Producer ..... Sally Avens MON Alistair Beaton and Tom Mitchelson's satire is set in the MON world of modern newspapers. MON A group of dysfunctional journalists attempt to cover major MON news stories at the same time as grappling with the demands MON of working in a multi-platform environment, watching MON circulation figures plummet and the recession causing half MON the workforce to be laid off. MON At the heart of the comedy is the relationship between MON Maddox Bradley, a journalist who mourns the day of proper MON investigative journalism, and Freddy, the online editor who MON will regurgitate a press release quite happily and call it a MON story. But they have a grudging respect for the each other MON as Freddy helps Maddox stay afloat in the world of Twitter, MON Facebook and podcasting and Maddox shows Freddy how to sniff MON out the real story. Both are at the mercy of Oliver, the MON pragmatic Editor more concerned with keeping his job, and MON Carol, the news editor who believes that circulation will MON increase if they run pieces on Big Mac eating orang-utans MON and 'intelligent' skunks rather than Maddox's moral MON crusading diatribes. And only Masha, the Russian head of MON online communities, who wants to give away all their content MON because that is true democracy, knows Freddy's secret; that MON he's a posh boy from Eton rather than a hypercool kid from MON the street; well that's what Freddy thinks anyway.

They sell everything MON from pins to pearl earrings, from peaches to pig's trotters, MON from tripe to tiramisu. See the hanging, marbled haunches of MON beef down Butchers' Row. Smell the flowers, a fragrant MON dream. Taste the fresh silvery fish motorwayed down from the MON North Sea. MON Some would say the Market is the last authentic part of the MON city centre. This northern city once textured by textiles MON has reinvented itself as a business and financial centre - MON it bristles with designer shops and bars. A cosmopolitan, MON twenty-four hour city. Yet slap bang in the centre is a MON shard of another city. And after countless makeovers, the MON Victorian City Market remains what it has always been; a MON place where you can get anything and see anything - a place MON teeming with life. A place bristling with stories. The MON market is the real face of the city - mucky, multicultural MON and magnificent. MON 'Market' is an umbrella series of six plays about people who MON work in and around its stalls. Each story is a MON self-contained quirky tale. Modern morality plays, with a MON whiff of the fantastical about them.

MON Baroness Orczy's enduring story first published in 1905 is a MON tale of high adventure and romantic heroism set at the time MON of the French Revolution. Read by Damian Lewis. MON The hero, real identity Sir Percy Blakeney, is a formidable MON swordsman, master of disguise and always one step ahead of MON his pursuers, prompting the well-known retort, "They seek MON him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him MON everywhere. Is he in heaven or is he in hell? That damned MON elusive Pimpernel." MON The author, herself born into Hungarian nobility, reveals MON her sympathies towards royalty with a hero who takes on MON French revolutionaries, rescuing royalists condemned to die MON on the guillotine. Orczy's parents, themselves, abandoned MON their baronial estate in Hungary, in 1868, when there were MON fears of a peasant revolution. She married a struggling MON English artist, Montague MacLean Barstow, and began writing MON to supplement their meagre income. Together, they wrote The MON Scarlet Pimpernel as a stage play and then went on to MON novelise it. MON Whilst awaiting replies from various publishers, The Scarlet MON Pimpernel went into production in the West End, where it ran MON for four years and broke several box-office records. It was MON the start of a successful writing career which eventually MON enabled Orczy to buy an estate in Monte Carlo. She died in MON Henley-on Thames in 1947.

WED Other legendary jazz performers who swapped smoky interiors WED for notable fresh air appearances include Duke Ellington, WED who transformed the fortunes of his orchestra with a WED storming show at the Newport jazz festival in 1956, and WED saxophonist Sonny Rollins, who spent months practising high WED amongst the girders of the Williamsburg Bridge in New York WED City. WED Kevin also hears from musician Gary Bartz, who formed a band WED without a piano player so that they were free to perform WED anywhere, and so could escape from the restrictions of the WED music industry. Offering the other side of the story, the WED acclaimed singer Bobby McFerrin reveals why he tries to WED avoid all outdoor performances.

WED Brian and Robin are joined by special guests Ben Goldacre WED and comedian Dave Gorman to discuss the notion of trust in WED science. Why are people prepared to believe in magic and WED pseudoscience rather than empirical evidence, and does it WED matter? Science often appears open ended and evolving, a WED reason to mistrust it, especially when it can feel like we WED are bombarded with so much contradictory information. So is WED the scientific method the only way to truly test if WED something works, and why should we trust the scientists over WED alternative practitioners who many people would argue have WED helped them more than anything that comes out of a WED laboratory.
