a profound loss for mainstream audio offerings i'm remembering that after the winter comes spring. i'm honouring the cycles of change and at the same time, acknowledging that there are terrible gardeners in our field.

After 12 years on the radio, @josielong.bsky.social's Short Cuts will have its last series on BBC Radio 4 this winter. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
