Today, we're joined by Paul Williams, Principal Director and Co-Founder at Stanton Williams Architects, Alec Shaw, Director of New Museum Project & Estate at London Museum and Chris Bonner, Director of Regeneration and Redevelopment at the City of London Corporation. We discuss the practicalities of transforming a Victorian market building into a museum, the incredible opportunities and challenges that come with structural engineering and the required environmental control needed for a 21st century museum. We talk about how the visitor experience will be shaped by the dramatic spaces of the market, and the role the building can play to tell London’s historical narratives. This episode was supported by London Museum.

Guy Clark is considered the centrepiece of this movement, and his songs have been recorded by top country music artists.

Clear Spot
Sue Pender’s Graveyard Shift. An original Irish Gothic radio drama. In a small rural Irish town, an approaching storm gathers over the fields, rooftops and graveyards. Sue Pender, a late-night radio DJ, takes to the airwaves for what begins as another familiar broadcast of local news, weather warnings, music and calls from the community. But as the night deepens and the storm draws closer, an unsettling atmosphere begins to take hold. Beneath the eccentricity, humour and intimate familiarity of small-town life lie quieter tensions, private fears and the uneasy territory between what people reveal and what they conceal.
Written and produced by Pádraic Dunne and Cormac Dooley; directed by Jill Bradbury; original dramaturgical advice by David Walsh. Cast: Jill Bradbury, Adam Goodwin, John MacKenna, Emre Izat, Niuska Sánchez, James Mahon, Cormac Dooley, Colette Keogh, Eugene Ryan, Pádraic Dunne, Martina McCormack and Sephora Mahon. Music: original songs and lyrics by Boss Monkey (Cormac Dooley and Pádraic Dunne); Trip to Jerusalem, written by Joe Dolan and performed by Dave Donohoe; Robbie Robinson contributed to early versions of Boss Monkey’s original songs; harmonica on Wolf Hill Billy by Eugene Ryan; and vocals on Sometimes by Jill Bradbury.
