"The 2001 murder of 90-year-old Mabel Leyshon at her home on the Welsh island of Ynys Mon (Anglesey) by an assailant who drank her blood made once-friendly neighbours suddenly fearful of one another. Behind the slightly sensationalist title, this podcast from the BBC's Crime Next Door strand sensitively retells the story, with host Meic Parry contextualising what a case like this meant in a close-knit Welsh community. Hannah J Davies Widely available, episodes weekly"
"It's probably unsurprising that this podcast by Ilanit-Michele Woods, the Emmy-nominated sound editor of Adolescence, sounds great. More importantly, the six-part series a tender portrait of her Holocaust survivor grandmother Olga, the parent of Woods's mum Erika is highly moving. Translated from the original Hungarian, it is told largely via Olga's own memoirs. HJD Widely available, out now"
"Tarek Iskander and Lyn Gardner host this new series about the state of the arts. If there can be a tendency to be a little mealy mouthed about these things, it isn't the case here, as the hosts launch straight into dissecting Baroness Hodge's recent review of Arts Council England. HJD Widely available, episodes bimonthly Screw This Let's Try Something Else This series speaks to communities that have organised new ways of doing things, from a revolutionary housing model in Grimsby to a locally owned wind turbine built in Bristol. It's always nice to find people serving up a slice of hope. Hollie Richardson Widely available, out now"
A BBC Crime Next Door episode recounts the 2001 murder of 90-year-old Mabel Leyshon on Ynys Mon and examines how violence fractured a close-knit community. Ilanit-Michele Woods produces a six-part, well-crafted audio portrait of her Holocaust-survivor grandmother Olga, largely using translated memoir material and intimate sound design. (Un)common Ground, hosted by Tarek Iskander and Lyn Gardner, interrogates arts policy and immediately addresses Baroness Hodge's review of Arts Council England. Screw This profiles community-led projects such as a Grimsby housing model and a Bristol wind turbine, offering hopeful practical examples. Technology coverage balances insider detail with accessible explanation.
