“The BBC have informed the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, Equity and the Society of Authors that as of April 2025 they will be making dramatic cuts to the output of Audio Drama on BBC Radio 3, completely eradicating audio drama from Radio 3. This change will see not only essential jobs and employment opportunities for creative workers slashed, but programming of new material and new performers totally gone."
We warned you this was coming in October. Sam 'Classic' Jackson, the controller steering Radio 3 to music only, was a little more liberal a year ago, tweeting this 1 hour 19 minute special, actively commissioned by his team.
The @grannyeatswolf team have done an amazing job with Gatsby in Harlem for @BBCRadio3. Pick of the Week in @thetimes; hear it at 8pm this Sunday, with a cast including Malachi Kirby, Ncuti Gatwa and Gugu Mbatha-Raw: https://t.co/9e2hg04B8K pic.twitter.com/wuBAz0QA9t
