Here's one I've been waiting to write about on the list for a long time.
If there's one person who is the reason anyone should get into radio
presenting, Sarah Thompson comes up trumps with her lively personality
and unpredictable poetic links complementing the latest in what she
brands as "grown up pop music".
brands as "grown up pop music".
I hope she's got a patent pending on that description.
With a Sony nomination to her belt and many radio documentaries
adding to that, Sarah manages to deliver an enthusiastic and accessible
presenting style to specialist music radio that's hard to find elsewhere

presenting style to specialist music radio that's hard to find elsewhere
on the radio dial, and manages to make the hour feel like 10 minutes.
Having growing up with radio as her only form of home entertainment
from an early age, Sarah takes great advantage the medium by using it
to create a visual image for the programme, in this case an adventure
with many twists and turns, not knowing what's around the corner.

The careful blend and structure allows the latest cut from Jai Paul
to work alongside one of the songs from the Bugsy Malone soundtrack
therefore ensuring that a visit to the Filthy Disco is never dull.
The girl's gonna go far.
Tom Wrigglesworth's Open Letters - BBC Radio 4, 03.05.12
Another previous Sony nomination and a winner at that.
Following an amusing appearance on Monday's Unbelievable Truth
Radio 4's "token northern comic" is back for a second series
of the comedic take on a format only used elsewhere on radio
by the late Alistair Cooke.
This being a programme made entirely within that of an open
letter, where in the first in a set of four, insurance is the focus
with the CEO of Confused.com website on the receiving end.
Wrigglesworth makes good use of the 28 minutes by giving
amusing anecdotes of the subject, with one such highlight
being a skiing holiday.
Well a loose sense of the term, but I won't spoil the punchline.
And anyone who makes digs towards Friends and Sex & The City
is worth a listen in my book.
With further shows set to tackle the pension plan, and the NHS,
I'll be taking a break from Steve Lamaq's Round Table
for the next few Thursdays.
TED Radio Hour: "What Does Spaghetti Sauce Have To Do With Happiness?" - NPR
Seeing spaghetti sauce and TED mentioned in the same sentence
was more than just minor encouragement to listen.
For those out of the loop, TED are an organisation who provide
conferences around the world where motivational speakers
are given 18 minutes to spread their wisdom.
In this talk recorded 8 years ago Malcolm Gladwell, the author behind
books such as Blink and The Tipping Point looks into his own figure
of influence Howard Moskowitz.
The man who improved the recipe of spaghetti sauce,
through consumer choice and paying greater detail to the different
wants and needs of many individual people.
Moskowitz himself is interviewed towards the end, explaining
how through the creation of his sauce and consumer choice, that
there is "no perfect product".
I guess he could be labeled as the Gilles Peterson of spaghetti sauce.
It's safe to say that the TED website is one of my favourites, with
an unlimited supply of inspiring talks, with one particular favourite
being this one from Sir Ken Robinson on how education stifles creativity.
Not only are his points nailed, it's also bloody funny as well.
