Sound Stories RTE Radio One




Really cool show on RTE about sound and sound recording, hosted by Luke Clancy. Chris Watson (that's him above recording a camel) makes regular appearances.

Tomorrow’s show (Tues September 23) features Drew Daniels (Matmos) talking about his snail-activated thermin. (Snail drones?)

The show seems to bounce around the schedules, but you can catch it online too. http://www.rte.ie/radio1/soundstories/

Check out the archives.

(Check out Episode One, Season Three, where Chris Watson talks about recording a deathwatch beetle. It's fascinating and quite sad too - deathwatch beetles make sounds to attract a mate, however in the hubbub of the modern world, their desperate pleas are drowned out by the whir of hard drives and teenagers listening to the latest highly compressed hits on their mobile phones.)

You’ll need RealPlayer. (Boo)
