๐ŸŒ๐Ÿ“ปI've made a radio documentary for BBC World Service. About bananas. And how nuclear scientists are trying to use radiation to save the fruit from possible extinction. It airs tomorrow, but available as a podcast now! (Produced by fab Robin Markwell) bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3โ€ฆ

The worldโ€™s most popular banana is under threat. A killer fungus, known as TR4, is ravaging plantations of the Cavendish banana and it's so serious that some experts predict the Cavendish may cease to exist by 2050 ๐ŸŒ โš ๏ธ bbc.in/4fKiq2G

Super-thrilled to be on the AudioUK shortlist among these lovely people, thanks to a programme I made with the brilliant Lego Lost At Sea for BBC Radio 4 last year. Lego Overboard still on BBC Sounds at bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0โ€ฆ

Today's two offices couldn't be much more different. For two separate programmes on BBC Radio 4 but both with some form of butchery at their heart!

Very grateful to the Smithfield traders for being so welcoming and allowing me to see some butchery up close. A fascinating topic and so much history - this was a real pleasure to make. You can catch it again here... bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0โ€ฆ

Just back from Chile for a BBC World Service documentary called The Copper Kingdom. Chile produces a quarter of the world's copper but at what cost to the environment? I've been investigating at the world's largest open pit mine in the Atacama desert. Airing in June ๐Ÿ“ป ๐ŸŒŽ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฑ
