For many British writers (including myself) BBC audio drama was where we started, where we learned, where we explored what we could do. It's being dismantled, removing a vital ladder for new writers in this country. #SADatTheBBC The Writers' Guild BBC Radio 4 BBC Radio 4

📻 Tell the BBC to save audio drama! 📻 This World Radio Day please share a short video asking the BBC to reverse its decision to cut the 90-minute drama slot on Radio 3. Upload your video using the hashtag #SADatTheBBC.

Happy #WorldRadioDay! 13 Feb was chosen as it was when United Nations Radio began in 1946. Further back, 15 Nov 1920: The 1st League of Nations assembly was broadcast from Geneva by Arthur Burrows. 2 yrs later, he became the BBC's first voice. More here: pod.fo/e/f7565

For #WorldRadioDay we are sharing how AG liked to listen when small to BBC dramatisations on his radio including ‘Faust in his Study’ inspiring him to create his own artworks & stories. In the 1960s & 70s he wrote plays for radio & TV such as 'The Fall of Kevin Walker'

On #WorldRadioDay I'd like to salute John Henry who, in 1923, tried his hand at being funny on the radio and quickly became the BBC's biggest comedy star. His full story in 'Bigamy Killed the Radio Star' from Fantom Publishing. Here I am in Harrogate, following in his footsteps.

Happy #WorldRadioDay! 🎙️ Before podcasts and streaming, radio was king. A prized gem in my collection is this reel-to-reel of The Mel Blanc Show from 1946. The voices of that era didn’t just entertain—they shaped the future of voice-over. #VoiceOver #OTR #MelBlanc #RadioHistory

x.com/hashtag/WorldR… CELEBRATE RADIO DRAMA! Potentially much more powerful than TV drama. And the BBC has been a world leader. It has produced in the past some extraordinary dramas.

If we can all help find just 200 more people to sign the Save Audio Drama at the BBC petition, and break through that 10,000 target, I promise to stop banging on about it! change.org/p/save-audio-d…

#worldradioday My dear Dad passed away in December. He began his early career as a Marconi apprentice cycling to work from parental home Hatfield Peveral to Chelmsford. Here is a great history resource from Essex Record Office essexrecordofficeblog.co.uk/tag/marconi/
