Title: Short story featuring N Mom on BBC Radio 4
Post by: hey_dahl on January 06, 2007, 08:48:18 AM

Hello all,
I thought I'd share this short story that I heard on Radio 4 (BBC) the other day. It struck some chords with me, and I thought it had a good portrayal of an N Mom.

You can listen to it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_aod.shtml?radio4/afternoon_reading_thu

Her Mother’s Songs by Merryn Glover, read by Lesley Hart
A young woman returns to her home town to visit her estranged mother. When she arrives, she finds the house she lived in turned inside out, and all her childhood memories come flooding back.

(some of the details on the website are incorrect)

Unfortunately, Radio 4 removes the programmes after 1 week, so it will only be available until 11th January.

hey dahl

so glad you posted.  I love being turned on to Radio BBC via the net.  I never thought about playing it regularly before.
Thanks for the story.  Sort of depressing.

I want to find inspiration on the net.  Anyone know good music or programs or books to listen to on the internet?
