I love radio. It's been a constant in my life since I was in primary school.
In fact. One of my earliest memories at age four or five, is of Little Eva
belting out The Loco-motion (1962) on a little pocket radio in my bedroom.
Although I first heard it at around 1970 ish. The Loco-motion is such a joyful song.
Who couldn't love it
Years later, in all sorts of strange places around the world, hearing the
BBC World Service theme across thousands of miles, always brought a lump to
my throat and it felt like an unbreakable connection with home, across the ether.
I believe that a thread of radio programmes or excerpts that we deem worth
listening to, is every bit as useful as one focusing on television.
I'll kick off with this. Biohacking in Your Garage. A series presented by a Nottingham University Professor
of Genetic Engineering. I was stunned by the programme's contents. And there are more
programmes in the series. Each is less than fifteen minutes long, but packs a punch
out of all proportion to it's size.
Where the cutting edge of genetics is now and might be in five years reads like sci-fi.
