Brilliant educational source, and reliever of boredom when performing boring tasks.

I LOVE rSounds. My Only criticism is that too little is broadcast about the activities of people concerned about the climate crisis and who are DOING THINGS ABOOUT IT like my U3A Environmental Crisis Group here in Ashford, not forgetting all the Marchs and so forth organisedd by J S O and X R which are Ignored by the Beeb - perhaps because of D Notices issued by the Very short sighted current government. Or are the Beeb just Climate Deniers like the ‘ reform’ group - nowhere near actually Being a REAL Political party. So I continue to love BBC Radio programmes, despite the Tsunami of amateur podcasting we are now all expected to choose to listen to. I much prefer listening to speakers who are intelligent, educated and understand the nuances of Communicating ! Phiilp j f sims. Ashford. TN25 4ED Live Long & Prosper.
