The ad for Controller Radio 4 and 4 Extra is finally out, and the only programmes mentioned by name are podcasts - Tracks, the conspiracy-thriller series by Matthew Broughton, which started in 2016 (sadly, candidates, no longer available via BBC Sounds etc, but free from Amazon if you sign up for Audible): The Ratline (still available as a podcast, but now renamed Intrigue: The Ratline, in case search engines re-direct you to rodent operatives); and The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, by H P Lovecraft (the website assures it will be available 'indefinitely', which is probably more than you can say for You & Yours).
Some of our favourite words pepper the ad, in complex sentences, some stretching over 100 words. 'Curating', 'reinventing' and 'creative renewal' are all there. There are five mentions for Sounds, five for Digital and three for Listeners.
And it seems that, at least for the early stages, the Director of Radio and Music is in charge, rather than the Director of Radio & Education & Children's & Arts & The Rest: For more information, please email Bob Shennan." You have until 15th March to apply.
