Present Tense
A shared experience of sonic joy crosses over the boundary of a prison wall, a conversation across generations explores being alive to the present moment, and an audio artwork from the archives plunges a listener into the sensation of time speeding up.
Josie Long presents short documentaries and audio adventures that hold you in the present tense.

Produced by Barry Bermange
Composition by Delia Derbyshire (Radiophonic Workshop)
