Another great newsletter, Christian. I’d love to hear that old tape machine. We should go and visit Kerwax when you come to Brittany. As well as the studio, the have a museum of analogue audio gear now.

Story writing was great as kids. I used to record mine to cassette for my family to listen to, like an early version of Audible. I’d do the character voices the lot!

Be warned about the Radio2 thing. Once you're in you're in. There is no re-entry. :-(

We are lucky to have 'special' wristbands and have bought some parking close by. I'll be there as a guest of the BBC.

Reading further into the post, how do you get the octopus power ups?

We were invited to the trial and found out that a few more people in our area also were. I think it’s dependent on how much green electricity there is in your area. We have quite a few solar farms and wind turbines not far away.

I’ll keep my eye out for this as we live in a village just outside Reading, we’re on octopus and there are quite a few solar farms nearby. We can see the famous wind turbine for Reading’s Green Park which dominates the motorway junction for the town. You’ll know it I’m fairly sure. It’s one of the first in this part of the country and powers the business park.
