Rnz: The Podcast Hour

Imagine getting right into the middle of a true story developing around you while you're listening. That's the narrative approach taken in' The Untold', a BBC show telling stories about life in modern Britain. Its team of producers seem to have a super power! They're able to find people going through significant life events, and persuade them to talk about it all while it's still happening. We play some of an episode called 'Be My Baby' from 'The Untold', presented by Grace Dent and produced by Sarah Bowen for BBC Radio 4. We also speak to Sarah Bowen, who's been working on the show since it started 3 years and about 100 episodes ago, about The Untold's distinctive approach to audio storytelling.
