In this fictional sound story, Effie, a teenage girl working in the rag room at a paper mill on the River Exe in 1851, gets the chance to go to up to London to see the Great Exhibition at Crystal Palace. Her mind is blown and secret dreams begin to crystallise. She confides in a heron, who proves to be an excellent listener.

This work was commissioned by Double Elephant as part of their Paper & Print project exploring the history of papermaking in Devon, funded by the National Heritage Lottery Fund. 

Written, narrated and produced by Ellen Wiles. Sound design by Nicholas Allen and Ellen Wiles.

Music That Moves w/ Somatic - 05/02/2025

Dyslexia isn’t a type of neurodivergence, is it? Neurodiversity means being an autistic adult, right? Does having Tics mean you always shout a lot? What is the purpose of getting diagnosed?

Listen to  Dr. Abby Russel and Charlie Kelman discuss nine things you never knew about neurodiversity (or maybe you did!). Abby is a scientist based at the University of Exeter Children and Young People’s Mental Health Research Collaboration. Together we look at specific facts about neurodivergence but also delve deeper into things that could help or hinder neurodivergent people. We learn more about our senses, hyper- and hypo-sensitivity, and whether neurodivergence is increasing in the UK – or are we simply becoming more aware of it?

Dr Abby Russell and Charlie Kelman | 9 Things You Never Knew About Neurodiversity

“Fire and Fury” uses a traditional melody to talk about modern concerns. Specifically, the rise in fascism, and how, from Elon Musk’s Nazi salute to the rise of the AfD in Germany, the far right and fascists are feeling emboldened around the world.

My song uses the melody of the popular American Civil War song “When Johnny Comes Marching Home” (which was itself based on the melody of the Irish folk song “Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye”). I am not singing only about America, but nevertheless, this tune felt very fitting.

“Fire and Fury” is based on my conviction that the time for “niceness” is long past, and that those of us who fear a new era of fascism must now be stronger, tougher and more decisive. “Not bleeding hearts but judge and jury, let them feel our fire and fury”. It’s a call to action, with marching drums, mouth trumpet, whistling and a rousing chorus!

In this live event, Joshua Howgego takes us on a rollicking ride through the world of meteorite hunting. Josh’s interest was sparked six years ago when he heard scientists say meteorites are like time capsules that record the history of our solar system. But how do we look for them?

Together, we follow the footsteps of scientists, explorers, and hobbyists to uncover more about the world’s rarest rocks and the secrets within them. 

Josh will helps us piece together an unexpected new history of the solar system.

Music that Moves w/ Izzi & Somatic - 02/04/2025

The chief foreign correspondent of The Sunday Times and bestselling author of ‘I am Malala’ and ‘The Girl From Aleppo’ visits the South West.

Christina Lamb’s work is defined by determination and curiosity to vividly convey life in areas of danger and conflict. How else would the rest of us know about the injustice, the violence, but also the hope that can be found in those dark places? 

What is the point of bearing witness to the atrocities of war? What difference can journalism make? As one of Britain’s leading foreign correspondents, Christina Lamb has never wavered from giving a voice to the unsung heroes of war, often women like the cyclists in Kabul, the Zimbabwean lawyer Beatrice Mtetwa, and the famous Malala. 

In this talk, Christina Lamb speaks about the defining moments of her career as an author and journalist: travelling with the Mujahidin, the resistance fighting Soviet occupation in Afghanistan during the Cold War, being in a 360 Taliban ambush, and surviving a bus bombing at an assassination attempt on Pakistan’s Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. After 38 years of reporting from the most dangerous places on earth, Christina shares why she still goes to war, asking what we can learn about humans, conflict, and resilience.





CHRISTINA LAMB
Author and Foreign Correspondent
Christina Lamb is one of Britain’s leading foreign journalists as well as a bestselling author. Her despatches with the Afghan mujaheddin fighting the Soviet Union saw her named Young Journalist of the Year at the age of 22. She has since reported everywhere from Iraq  to Ukraine, Israel to Zimbabwe and been awarded Foreign Correspondent of the Year seven times as well as Europe’s top war reporting prize, the Prix Bayeux, the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from both the Society of Editors and Women in Journalism as well as the Chesney Gold Medal for promoting the understanding of war, previously awarded to Henry Kissinger and Winston Churchill.

She has always particularly focused on what war does to women, and her book Our Bodies, Their Battlefields about sexual violence in conflict was described by leading historian Antony Beevor as ‘the most powerful book’ he had ever read and recently recommended by Queen Camilla in a speech. She has written ten books including co-authoring the international bestseller I Am Malala. She is a Global envoy for UN Education Cannot Wait, Honorary Fellow of University College Oxford, on the board of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, and an Associate of the Imperial War Museum and was awarded an OBE in 2013.
