Things turn out best for people who make
the best of the way things turn out
The small but meaningful things we say to ourselves
to guide us and remind us of ourselves each day
Now is only a moment - there are plenty more to come
We meet ordinary people and hear their daily meditations. We learn how they discovered the prayer, how it’s message has matured and maybe even changed over time
Go placidly & remember what peace there may be in silence
The rule is that it needs to be something that’s said
out loud daily as part of someone’s spiritual practice

Original 28 minute version
For something that is still so loved, no one knows what happened to this illuminated town map and even finding a picture of it proves illusive
Part treasure hunt
Part social history
& part midlife crisis
The Map of Keynsham is all about finding certainty, security and a place to call home: just ask 8 year old little Bruce

If the walls could give back the sounds they've heard
The Stonetape theory is that strong emotional moments are stored in the walls of a building and can be replayed in the right circumstances
We recorded people with strong memories
at The Cube Microplex, Bristol
In this analog radio installation
micro FM transmitters hide in the space
and visitors have FM radios to help on
treasure hunt for sounds
Produced in collaboration with Rosa Eaton & Phil Sansom
as part of our MA in Radio Documentary at UWE Bristol

Shroukie: Dancing Queer
Shroukie is an electronics engineer from Egypt.
She’s also an asylum seeker who successfully fought the Home Office for the right to go to university AND she’s a bearded belly dancer who campaigns for LGBTQ+ rights back home
This the story of a rich and privileged girl who never returned home after her London holiday, who found herself alone and estranged from her family in Cardiff and someone who fought too hard to be an engineer to let herself be seen as merely an award winning queer activist.
She’s building a new life in Bristol but where is home? How can she manage her feelings of guilt, anger, doubt and joy?

The Flapper (original version)
This is my entry for the 2019 Charles Parker Award for best new student radio feature.
My dad Malcolm, sister Fiona and brother Tim talk about my mum Audrie's treasured kitchen utensil in a memorial to her and to her spatula.
My idea for the memorial was the history of one family in one object and what it says about my family. This is the story of the untold heroes of domestic life.
The ordinariness of things that allows for meaning to be made. The manner in which the spirits of people so often get captured within domestic objects.
