Looking Backwards
[Repeated from Saturday 3.30pm.] On Saturday it was Resonance co-founder Ed Baxter's last day at work at the best radio station in the world. Here's a quite random selection of radio programmes he has made over the years. The shorter pieces, not the 24 or 48 endurance works. We start with The Exeter Whisper - 500 school pupils realise a magical Chinese Whisper. Then four short monologues: Buddy Holly's Suitcase (w. Glen Pederson), On The Mountain (w. Bob Cheevers), A Hood-Shy Haggard (w. Steffan Cennydd) and First Sketch for Ascent and Descent (w. Dudley Sutton). Slightly more complicated is Second Sketch For Ascent And Descent, made on location at Outlandia, Glen Nevis, featuring Tam Dean Burn. The Death of Kodak is an opera and features Rodney Earl Clark and Richard Scott. Attempted Breakfast, featuring Sam Collings, is a pastiche of the typical radio drama in the early 21st century and a kind of cynical manifesto, while Score For Open Heart Surgery On Charlie Watts (with Tam Dean Burn) is a longish post-expressionist combine. Finally, Millions Flee as California Burns, voiced by Piers Gibbon, is simply a gag piece.
3:30am - 12:00pm
Day For Night
A selection of recent highlights, archival surprises, programmes that deserve a repeat and those that slipped through the net, taking you through from the wee hours to breakfast. With occasional forays into the Resonance Extra programme of new music and sound art - and further afield.

Outrage & Optimism
As a holiday treat, Resonance brings you select episodes of the Outrage + Optimism podcast co-hosted by Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson and produced by Clay Carnill. Each show highlights how we can channel the outrage we see on the streets (and online) about incremental actions in the face of the climate crisis, toward the stubborn optimism needed to forge ahead with ambition. Each show's discussion aims to inform, inspire and help listeners realise that this is both the most challenging, but also the most exciting time in history to be alive. Today: how Adnoc, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company and Dr. Sultan were planning to use COP 28 to promote deals for its national oil and gas companies. With guest Nathaniel Stinnett, founder of the Environmental Voter Project.
