BBC Radio 4 Extra - John Peel's Shed

This is an ode to radio, rare records and anyone who's sought solace in the wireless.

John Osbourne writes and performs this ode to radio, rare records and anyone seeking solace in the wireless. From 2011.

In 2002, John Osborne won a competition on John Peel's late night show on BBC Radio 1. 

His prize was a box of records that took him eight years to listen to. 

This is John's ode to radio, those records and anyone who's ever sought solace in the wireless. It's a story about one man's love for radio - and how it allows you to escape into another world. 

Based on John's book 'Radio Head', this is about what happened next: a show about the pleasure of having your own personal project. The story is about passion, obsession with music and about legacy; trying to do something special with such a rare, eclectic box of records - thanks to John Peel.

Producer:  John Pocock

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in December 2011.
