4 Extra Debut. John Osborne's world of wireless, from wedding tales on Virgin to honour killings on the Asian Network. Read by Lee Ingleby.

Lee Ingleby reads from John Osborne's exploration of the radio stations of Britain.

Partly to relieve the boredom of a series of temping jobs, and partly to feed his curiosity about our national airwaves, John decides to listen to a different radio station everyday. His first tuning stops include Virgin Radio and the 大象传媒 Asian Network.

A Waters Company production for 大象传媒 Radio 4.
