Reviews

Miranda Sawyer in the Observer

  • Love + Radio: Bloody Memory (Daylight Media) - “The tale is detailed and intimate, about blackmail, voyeurism, personal crises. The sound is perfect, as though the speaker is sitting right next to you.”
  • Illuminated: Functioning (BBC) - “About alcohol addiction and recovery, was less cheery but just as touching. It focused on two women whose lives seemed tantalisingly close to a nice “functional”.

Rachel Cunliffe in the New Statesman

  • In Our Time (BBC Radio 4) - “New host, Misha Glenny…The energy is different – not subdued, exactly, but cautious, like everyone is on their best behaviour”.
