1. On the Hour and Delve Special
A surprisingly wide array of favourite radio personalities co-present this exploration of radio's long history of self- parody, with contributions from Jan Ravens. From 2017.
The history of radio's ability to parody itself goes back almost to the birth of radio. The range of this parody is so wide - news, current affairs, drama, the arts, phone-ins, investigative journalism - that the production team on this programme decided that a single presenter simply wouldn't do it justice.
鈥楶arody Please鈥� is co-presented by a truly exceptional range of favourite radio voices, including Charlotte Green, Sue McGregor, Winifred Robinson and Ruth from the Archers, who collectively explore why radio is the best medium for parody, and its important role in our society, perhaps today more than ever.
In the first of three programmes,, Jan Ravens joins this roster of celebrities in order to talk with the distinguished radio critic Gilllian Reynolds CBE.
