Misadventures
Tales of misadventure. On a train, a couple's absorption in the crossword disguises a possible hidden romance. And the writer Joe Dunthorne's reminiscences of his misspent gap year.
A selection of brief encounters, true stories and found sound find a home in this new series for 大象传媒 Radio 4.
Nina Garthwaite, the founder of the public listening phenomenon 'In the Dark', presents a showcase for delightful and adventurous short documentaries.
In the first edition of Short Cuts, she delves into tales of misadventure - starting with a chance encounter on a train where a couple's absorption in the crossword disguises a possible hidden romance. And encompassing the writer Joe Dunthorne's reminiscences of his misspent gap year selling door to door in Australia.
From the charged atmosphere on the London underground to distorted visions on the top of a mountain - Nina navigates tales of love, loss and wild abandonment.
