Alex's Historical Fiction

One word radio

Picked this up from Michelle Styles' blog. Her book, The Gladiator's Honour, is going to be read on this station soon, so I went to check it out. One Word Radio is a digital radio station, also broadcast on the web. It consists primarily of readings, and there are lots of books of interest, including a lot of British classics, such as Pride & Prejudice, Mill on the Floss, etc and newer works. You need MP3 software, or the Real One Player which is used for the Beeb's radio Listen Again progs, so I'm actually typing to someone reading out an episode from Middlemarch at present :-)

Michelle's book is being started this coming Sunday, which is a shame as I'm out in a doubtless rainy, muddy field in East Yorkshire that day :-( But I'm checking to see if the radio station has a Listen Again facility like the Beeb ...
