I love radio shows.
It seems to connect with the audience more, or at least that's what I feel. Maybe because it's more of an effort y'know?
It's far to easy to turn on the TV, but radio... there's a certain snobbishness to it too that appeals to wannabe intellectuals like me.
Anyway, I was listening to
Making History and someone on LJUK suggested checking out last weeks show on "listen again"
It was about Diver Bill, who spent years beneath Winchester Cathedral repairing the foundations.

And it's not
just the serious stuff. I'm sure that shows like
Little Britain,
The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and
The Mighty Boosh were all funnier when they were radio shows
Anyway, this made me laugh, an interview with Lewis Hamilton's F1 car "Graham"
