What are you listening to .... on the Radio, by Coach on Mar 14, 2018 22:43:29 GMT 1, Humphrey Ocean talks to Mark Alexander
On now.
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09v6vt4
โThe artist Humphrey Ocean is Professor of Perspective at the Royal Academy of Arts, and his portraits of Paul McCartney, Philip Larkin, Tony Benn and Lord Whitelaw are in the National Portrait Gallery. While at art school, he became a member of the band Kilburn and the High Roads, led by singer and songwriter Ian Dury - who was also Humphrey's tutor. Dury was an important influence on Humphrey Ocean's student work, and they remained friends until Dury's death in 2000.
For Only Artists, he meets the painter Mark Alexander. Mark attended art school as a mature student: before that, he had trained as a silversmith, before finding better paid work in factories, where he moved from job to job, becoming a charge hand and then a quality inspector in the aerospace industry.
As a painter, his works include versions of Van Gogh's Dr Gachet, rendered entirely in shades of black, and portraits of Beethoven, following a residency at Beethoven's house in Bonn.โ

What are you listening to .... on the Radio, by Coach on Apr 30, 2018 13:41:19 GMT 1, Those of us of a certain age will have fond memories of The Young Ones.
The Reunion that aired yesterday morning will bring back those memories:
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b0m2lk
โSue MacGregor reunites five people who made their names in the ground-breaking TV comedy The Young Ones.
In the early 1980s, the most popular TV comedies were cosy sitcoms like To The Manor Born and Last of the Summer Wine. Live stand-up comedy was largely confined to working men's clubs and seaside resorts. Mother-in-law and Irish gags were still a staple.
But, in the backroom of a Soho strip club, an underground venue called The Comic Strip emerged. The non-sexist, anti-racist but violent and bolshy acts drew a fashionable crowd. Jack Nicholson and Dustin Hoffman were among the stars in the audience.
TV producers drew from the performers they saw there for the casting of The Young Ones. The bunch of loud-mouthed scruff bags thrown together as housemates in grotty, tumbledown digs, really broke the mould.
When The Young Ones was first aired in November 1982, ratings were pitiful. But before long, the show, with its wild slapstick and surreal twists, soon won a dedicated following. Within six months, a second series was on TV and the team had a BAFTA award for their mantelpiece.
Like the British classic Fawlty Towers, the team decided that The Young Ones should only run for 12 episodes. By then, everyone involved had made their name and alternative comedy became the TV phenomenon of the decade.
Sue MacGregor is joined by original Young One Nigel Planer who played depressed musician Neil; Chris Ryan who played Mike "The Cool Person"; Alexei Sayle who played members of the Balowski family; Lise Mayer who co-wrote the series with Ben Elton and her then partner actor Rik Mayall; and Stephen Frost who played a number of roles across both series.โ

What are you listening to .... on the Radio, by Leo Boyd on Dec 4, 2018 13:09:57 GMT 1, Cheers people
I hadn't known there was a radio thread. I love listening to people talk whilst I am printing or painting and there are loads of great suggestions here.
For my own suggestion if you haven't listened to s-town it is really great. I dont want to say what it is about for fear of spoilers but when I first heard this I binged the lot pretty much in one sitting.

www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00066yq
โChestnuts on A roads, sycamores down alleys, rowans on roundabouts, and avenues of lime. Why do people care so much about urban trees? Perhaps they want to save the trees because the trees save them?
Frances Byrnes' docu-drama, narrated by Robert Glenister, weaves the voices of Sheffield's tree campaigners into a dark contemporary fairytale.
The poem Heartwood, a charm-against-harm, was written for Sheffield's trees by Robert MacFarlane.
Cellist Tim Smedley played A Song For The Birds by Pablo Casals. The programme also features a recording of the same piece by Sheku Kanneh-Mason.โ
