Our stories today take us into some rich sensory experiences in the first bloom of spring. We'll start with The First Mow of the Year, pushing open the garage door and finding a pair of garden gloves to get a day in the yard started. Then we'll hear Piano Lessons, where we'll dust down the upright and find a new piece to play. Finally, we're off to the cottage to watch ships on the river, pedal our bikes along the dusty back roads, and listen to the Shipping Forecast.

BBC continuity announcer and presenter of the shipping forecast, Amanda Litherland, talks to Manx Radio's Chris Pearson about the forecast, what it means to people, her career and growing up here on the Isle of Man.

Listeners nominate who they think should be the next Irish President. Máiréad Devlin and others discuss the importance of the Shipping Forecast.

Samira Ahmed presents Front Row's contribution to Radio 4's New Year's Day celebration of the Shipping Forecast, marking a century since the BBC began broadcasting it. This edition of the arts programme explores how the Shipping Forecast inspires musicians, writers, artists of all kinds, and how it has become a powerful presence in the psyche of the nation, even among people with no connection to the sea. There is an irony here: the forecast is factual, devoid of metaphor, yet it moves millions emotionally. Recorded in front of an audience at Britain's most famous ship, the Cutty Sark, Samira's guests are novelist Meg Clothier, author of The Shipping Forecast: Celebrating 100 Years; musicians Lisa Knapp and Gerry Diver; poets Sean Street and Zaffar Kunial; and Paddy Rodgers, Director of Royal Museums, Greenwich. They discuss the inspirational quality of the Shipping Forecast - the litany of names of sea areas, its rhythms, the factual yet evocative vocabulary of atmospheric and sea states, and how this vital information, demanding attention, has become a national lullaby. Sean Street, Britain's first Professor of Radio and author of several books about sound, considers the Shipping Forecast as a sound work, and reads his poem, Shipping Forecast, Donegal. Lisa Knapp performs, accompanied by Gerry Diver, her song 'Shipping Song' and 'Three Score and Ten', written by William Delf, a Grimsby fisherman, after a disastrous storm in 1889. There are two world premieres, commissioned by Front Row, an audio piece by the sound designer, Ross Burns, and a poem by Zaffar Kunial. And some quirky Shipping Forecast moments such as Alan Bennett reading it and Charlotte Green assaying the Forecast - in Arabic.Presenter: Samira Ahmed Producer: Julian May

As a special bonus episode, celebrate 100 years of the iconic BBC Radio 4 Shipping Forecast with this soothing blend of thunderstorm and ocean sounds, perfect for deep sleep and relaxation. The rhythmic maritime weather updates, paired with the roar of the storm, create a calming, immersive audio experience. Whether for sound masking, sleep, or a moment of tranquility, this black screen video offers 8 hours of peaceful refuge. Drift away with the timeless charm of the Shipping Forecast.8hr Shipping Forecast in a Storm for Deep Sleep | 100th Anniversary Exclusive 8hr Versions. No Ads + Bonus Episodes Hosted on Acast.

Hey guys, No episode today, but we're posting a bunch of stuff over December so I put this out to point people elsewhere: Today, another dramatic reading goes live on our sister podcast feed (Fanfics & Chill), which can be found on every app and website this podcast is.

We'll be back to recording properly next year...

This week, the Forecasters discuss the ever relevant topic of which robots we would sleep with. We also take a stab at several ethical questions (but this time for real), including: Can Yes Man from Fallout New Vegas consent? At what point does it stop being a sex toy and start being a robot? And at what point would it be cheating? How has Nick not seen Blade Runner yet?? Will Black and Decker sponsor us for these shameless plugs?

What started as our Deadpool episode rapidly went off the rails into talking about other Hugh Jackman related projects, so join us this week as James finds a flimsy excuse to talk about the greatest film ever made: the 2004 action adventure Van Helsing. Other tangents include: Was the silver surfer good? Whats the best Les Mis song (and why is Nick wrong about it not being Master of the House) What IS a Wolverine? Who do we ship Ian Mckellen with?

This week, all three of the Forecasters unite once again to talk about a topic close to our hearts; British Twinks that Solve Supernatural Mysteries. Join us in our Dead Boy Detectives episode, as Grace gets so invested in a ship that she forgets we're recording. James comes to terms with the fact he is 'The Charles' (but only in that he is posh and bossy), and Nick embarks on a quest to find a Dead Boys/Columbo fic, and learns how to serve cunt along the way.

Today, we're joined by returning Special Guest, Shawn Cassity!  (not Shaun Cassidy, but if you know him, we'll have him on too)   Shawn is having a Keeper's Heart, Phil a Tusker Lager and John is drinking Dewar's 15 year scotch. After we get the usual junk out of the way, we have a brief chat about podcast player apps. Phil has an update on his other podcast activities.  John randomly mentions BBC's The Shipping Forecast. And remembers the old NPR show, Music From the Hearts of Space and MST3K.  Phil recalls a technique he was taught to memorize Spanish vocabulary and wonders if MST3K ever lampooned the movie Tourist Trap (1979). With Shawn on deck, we have a long-ish chat about our least-favorite Beatles songs.  (favourite)   Song: “The Cats Will Eat Tonight”

This week, in our second failed attempt to get all of us in a room at the same time, Nick and James opt to do the opposite of the last episode by talking about our favourite Milves.

This week Grace and James, in a very late Father's Day special, take some time to answer the age old question: Who has the most daddy issues? Join us as we take unexpected tangents into real world history, James mixes up something Graces really likes with something Grace really hates, and figure out if the CEO of Red Bull writes Yaoi (probably not).

We interrupt our usual podcast to bring you an emergency alert, remain indoors and seek shelter from the Fallout. This week we return to the Fallout universe. Last time we did a Fallout episode we titled it "Deathclaw Underboob" because we mostly saw Deathclaw content. Now, its the Ghouls turn. This was supposed to be the Fallout TV episode, but that doesn't stop Nick from staying exclusively in the New Vegas tag. If you've got a fic you'd like us to read, send it over!

Old May Day Customs, Fences, Fell Ponies, Sleepy chat, and a bedtime story. Sleepy Folklore! Sleep through Tony Walker's meanderings and end up at the Shipping Forecast. This week we look at customs around May 13, 'Old May Day' (and thus the one we're sticking to). We look at the Screaming Skull of Burton Agnes Hall, Fences, Fell Ponies, and a look at a story from Elizabeth Garner's Lost & Found book. In amongst pointless, soporific chatter from the man with the dreariest voice in England (official). If this doesn't bore you to sleep. nothing will.

This week, Grace and James take some time to discuss Real Person Fics. James does know that it is RPF and not RFP, but somehow he manages to get it wrong every single time it comes up in this episode. Join us as we learn about the hottest poet of the 17th century, Emperor Nero's thirst traps, debate who to ship David Mitchell with, and many many more.

This week, the forecasters get into Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon. We came for the fantastic autistic representation and Marcille/Fallin, and while we found that, we also found a surprising amount of thirst for all three foot seven of Chilchuk Tims. If that sounds fun, settle in and have a listen. If you've got a fic you'd like us to read, send it over! Our DMs are always open and we love getting the chance to do dramatic readings.

Andrea Catherwood talks to Rachel Burden, the presenter of Cafe Hope, about the need to hear more positive stories, and gets your views on the new programme.She also hears the thoughts of Book of the Week fans, which has moved to a new, later timeslot, in part to make room for Cafe Hope, as part of the recent schedule changes at Radio 4. Following last week's discussion on the future of the BBC and the way it is funded, more of you have been adding your thoughts to the licence fee reform debate. And what's happening with Radio 4 Long Wave? The Daily Service and Yesterday in Parliament have been moved to Radio 4 Extra in anticipation of the Long Wave frequency being shut down, but it's now due to be running until June next year. So why has the Long Wave goodbye got longer? Andrea speaks to the BBC's Head of Distribution and Radio 4's Station Executive - joining the dots between the Shipping Forecast and Smart Meters!Presented by Andrea Catherwood Produced by Leeanne Coyle A Whistledown Scotland production for BBC Radio 4

Captains Log, Stardate -360700.94. We have returned to AO3 to stock up on spicy non-human romance stories. Grace, having been freshly introduced to Star Trek has jumped right into the deep end of Garashir. Nick ever fond of the classics, has brought us some Spirk love, and gives us some Vulcan Rizz along the way. James got his wish from the last episode and found a fic about Gul Dukat, but also stops for a little bit of Boimler/Spock (Spoimler?), but not in a way where anyone has fun.

Its time. I don't know who let him do this, or how Grace's arm was twisted into it, but James has been allowed to talk about Star Trek. If you thought Nick wasn't normal about trains, you've clearly not asked James which is his favourite Enterprise (its the NX-01, but Sisko is my favourite captain). Join us as Grace, Nick and Mostly James talk about Star Trek, the fandom that brought us men in heat and the term 'slashfic' in general. Grace faces the Tuvix Dilemma, Nick discusses his alternative financial plans, and James simps for Best Villain Gul Dukat.

In the inaugural episode of The Chipping Forecast, leading commentator Andrew Cotter and fan favourite Eddie Pepperell are joined by one of the most distinctive voices in golf, Iain Carter, to talk about the creation of, as Andrew calls it, "yet another golf podcast". They discuss the various names on the table, how The Chipping Forecast came about and how Eddie is completely oblivious to Radio 4's The Shipping Forecast. Eddie recounts his return to form in the Scandinavian Open over the weekend, after his 10-shot horror on a par 3 the week before - he also shares exactly how bad that weekend got but also a brilliant putting tip too. Of course on also on the menu is the news that rocked the sporting world last week - Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and LIV Golf controversially merging with the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour. And, as Iain is in California ahead of the US Open, the three preview the tournament, dissect the golf course in Los Angeles, discuss the runners and riders as well as look at the form of Rory McIlroy, could the Northern Irishman break his 9-year major drought?

    I love making shortwave mixes, so it's hard to believe it's been almost 11 years since my last new shortwave creation. Yikes! I know these mixes are labor intensive and I am a terrible procrastinator but I am shocked that it's been that long. Here are the previous mixes: https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2007/04/drift-on-signal.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2008/06/ghost-in-phase.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2010/04/flicker-fade.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2011/03/distant-transmissions.html https://lowlightmixes.blogspot.com/2012/05/on-behavior-of-radio-waves.html This mix is a combo of real shortwave broadcasts, tracks that have broadcasts already embedded, and tracks that have that scratchy, radio feel. I couldn't resist adding a bit of Conet Project recordings here and there. Most of the straight radio broadcasts come from Myke Dodge Weiskopf. I've been using his recordings for years. You can find his stuff here - https://www.myke.me/ Two of my favorite cuts in this mix are by Mount Shrine from the album Shortwave Ruins. https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/shortwave-ruins It's a perfect combo of ambience, drone, and radio chatter. Mount Shrine is Cesar Alexandre, who sadly passed away in 2021. His two tracks in this mix fit the vibe perfectly. I hope you enjoy the washes of static and voices from the ether. Hopefully it won't be 11 years until the next shortwave mix.
