The Dog Track

BBC Radio 4 - The Time Being, Series 6, The Dog Track

A woman visits the dog track for the first time, and weighs up a matter of life and death.

By Rebecca F John: A young woman visits the dog track for the first time, and weighs up a matter of life and death. Read by Rakie Ayola.

The latest season of The Time Being brings another showcase for new voices, none of whom have been previously broadcast. Previous series have brought new talent to a wider audience and provided a stepping stone for writers who have since gone on to enjoy further success both on radio and in print, such as Tania Hershman, Heidi Amsinck, Sally Hinchcliffe and Joe Dunthorne.
