BBC Radio 4 Pick Of The Week

I got to present Pick Of The Week for BBC Radio 4!

I was determined to avoid the Tory Party leadership contest and US elections so I dumped all the best bits of BBC audio onto the cutting floor after a premature round of trick-or-treating, with some monster-sized audio morsels to devour as we approach Halloween. Like the sound of spitting alpacas for instance, or Mark Kemode and Kim Newman charting the point in which vampires became sexy. And who could forget Stewart Lee's dramatic reading of a recurring nightmare from one Uncanny listener, including its odd connection to 80s singer Rick Astley. As you know, when it comes to anything ghoulish, Danny Robins is never going to lie and desert you.

Was a nightmare selecting which shows to include - I listen to a lot of BBC podcasts and radio anyway… but it was nice to be tasked with the excuse to add more. So much listening! My office has never been more organised.

Anyway, I hope you like the programme. I er… might have been a bit too ‘me’ on it… These things trouble me.
