I recorded a bunch of sounds from different levels of the spiral starcase in the Feldstraße Bunker back in April. What you'll listen to is a non-linear edit of these sounds to try and convey the sense that the building is a living object, which is what I felt when I was in there. 

The bunker was used as a bomb shelter back in WWII, I believe. When I visited there was a load of rumbling and clanging construction going on outside which appropriately made it seem as though I was in the middle of a raid.

The concrete structure seemed to allow not only reverberations of the sounds up the spiral staircase, but also the memories of the historic use for the building.

Many businesses on the High Road thrive on match-days. Many don't. The businesses that suffer due to the council-enforced road closures, often barbershops, beauty salons and off-licenses and other retail, still have to pay the same business rates, despite many customers staying away when Tottenham play at home. In some instances, the till can be down more than half compared with a non-match day.

Here you can listen to Mem, who works in an off license, talk about how things have changed for him since the new stadium was built. You'll also hear fans talk about what they do once they hit the High Road, and the sound of roads being closed and match-day ambience.

A walk around Westminster on Thursday 19th January. From 12 bells to 1 bell.

Along with the sound of Big Ben, you can hear me get shouted at by police speeding through Parliament Square and the sound of many gates being closed and locked. There were also people protesting outside Downing Street, and I spoke to Geza Tarjanyi, who made headlines a week later for pushing Matt Hancock in a tube station.

Listen to what nurses are saying and singing on the picket line outside UCLH in Camden.

A short walk during the heavy snowfall on the 11th December 2022, where children and adults ventured outside to make a mark on their brand new surroundings in the form of footsteps, scooped handfuls, and snow angels.

I forget when I did this, maybe late January 2021.

Terry is known as the Bard of Flaybrick. A volunteer at the cemetery who recites poems to the visitors on Flaybrick's walking tours. He's written over 2000 poems with subjects ranging from historical figures of Birkenhead, to local people, places and organisations.

I spoke to Terry to find out where his love of poetry came from, why he volunteers, and how important Flaybrick is to him, and by extension, the rest of Birkenhead.
