Apropos of nothing, this is the gear crate Prince had rigged up so that he could hide inside and get wheeled around Paisley Park discreetly when necessary.

An imperfect photo capturing the moment perfectly. I brought the multitrack fellows into @goldsmithsaudio.bsky.social main studio along with Alumni for a taster in live radio skills. Over 80% of the UK population still listen to radio, having the productions skills for it is still valuable.
6 people in the control room of an audio studio. Person in fron is laughing. They are in an orange tee shirt. To their left a woman with long pink hair is looking focused at the mixing desk which is unseen. On the far right a person is clicking their fingers with delight and 3 other people in the background are celebrating the end of a successful ‘as live’ radio show.

Terrible news - my first radio commissions were two docs made for Shortcuts. They were patient, encouraging and let us make two really weird mini docs, they also paid us decent money to make them. Here's one about Charles 'Tuna' Chapman the first black person to swim the channel 👇

After 12 years on the radio, @josielong.bsky.social's Short Cuts will have its last series on BBC Radio 4 this winter. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
Against a backdrop of a forest carpeted with bluebells, a block of text reads, “After 12 years on the radio, we’re sad to share the news that BBC Radio 4 has chosen to end Short Cuts. 

The episode on 7th January 2025 will be our last on their airwaves.

We are proud of this audio garden, and what has grown here over the years.”
