Your Most Avid Reader is a 24-part audio drama made by Tempest Productions, which unfolds into a multi-layered tale full of suspense and jeopardy. If you thought writing a book was a straightforward affair, then it's time to think again.

Full of grace, candour, grit and humour, Eat a Peach chronicles Chang's journey, laying bare his mistakes and feelings of otherness and inadequacy. Along the way, Chang gives us a penetrating look at restaurant life, balancing his deep love for the kitchen with unflinching honesty about the industry's history of brutishness and its uncertain future.

An intimate account of the making of a chef, the modern restaurant world that he helped shape and how success can be much harder to understand than failure.

The Neuromantics
Season 2
Episode 1

In this constantly shifting world, with its endless novel experiences and influences, one thing we can be sure of is that we're not the same person as we were at birth.  Welcome to the first episode of the second season of the Neuromantics, in which writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott juggle ideas of human response to a changing environment. Some exquisite examples of 9th and 10th century Arabic poetry suggest that early writers were trying to pin down or preserve the world around them. Meanwhile, an academic paper on mental rotation explores the relationship between physical movement and mental perception. All this flux - how fitting for an episode recorded during the Covid lockdown.
