Hello, my dead Radio addicts! I know today’s post comes out a bit late, but I wanted to prepare this little graphic you can see here and surprisingly I couldn’t do that at work :P. Maybe I should change switch departments after all, but it looks like I have waaaay too little experience with actual DTP work. Let’s face it, my skills are totally basic and limited to Photoshop ;).

Magic of books 
Yesterday afternoon, I found myself listening to a ‘Saint’ story by Leslie Charteris on Radio 4 Extra, and I’ve also listened to four episodes of the third ‘Journey Into Space’ adventure on the BBC iplayer. What is it about radio that’s so attractive?
BTW – have read both above serials as novels.
