George Apollo is the first episode in a radio series called Hearspool which Momus is making for Basic.FM.

Drawing inspiration from the experimental Hörspiel tradition of German public radio as well as eccentric British storytellers like Viv Stanshall, Ivor Cutler and the Sitwells, Momus improvises tales, plays selections from his collection of Japanese folk music, and extends the spooky parallel worlds sketched out in his records and books.

Hearspool 1: George Apollo was transmitted on Basic at 2pm (UK) on Thursday January 18th 2013. It’s repeated on January 20th at 8pm (UK). The next episode airs at 2pm on January 31st, with a repeat two days later at 8pm.
