BBC Radio 4 - Coastlines, Exhale by Lara Barbier

An original short story for radio. Written by Lara Barbier, and read by Alex Tregear.

"I fall to the bottom of the tidal pool. Feel my feet touch the grit, the need to breathe already raging in my lungs. I remind myself that the surface is mere feet away. For a moment I stand between stone, water and sky above..."

An original short story for radio by Lara Barbier, read by Alex Tregear. A journey of recovery - in search of breath and joy - and a deep dive into Cornish tidal pools. 

From Pembrokeshire to Penwith, Coastlines is a series of five original short stories for radio, each anchored at a different point along the coast of Wales and South West England. Produced and directed in Bristol by Becky Ripley.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
