I would just like to say that the Radio 3 Documentary programs have been an important part of my life. So often I have found inspiration from hearing about topics and events I didn’t know existed as well as the people whose stories are given the importance they deserve. Over the years I have listened to just about every broadcast from the archives, I won’t say they have all been brilliant but the quality of the story telling is there in all of them. The many that are brilliant though, they are exquisite! I could write this off as just another example of the Irish gift for storytelling but I have a feeling that there is a tradition and respect for the craft of telling a story properly at your studio that has been handed down over the last fifty or more years. I have listened to public radio programs from all over the world but your productions, at least in my mind are the best. So thanks for all of your efforts at bringing such beautiful works of art to what used to be the airwaves, thankfully podcasts have made them available to me in Brooklyn, USA. Phil Englander

Interesting commentary on Vernon Watson and his work, all new to me. I'm intrigued, and I look forward to the next documentary, whatever the subject.
