Would you prefer to live on an extremely remote active British volcano or the Hampshire coast?
I'm deep in the weeds making a new series about a different British remote island, but this piqued my interest and provided welcome distraction.

More reason to listen... beyond just me saying "please it is very good and took a long time to make".
@ApplePodcasts have picked The Pitcairn Trials as one of the best shows of the year so far.

With #RAJAR s out today...here is your quarterly reminder that linear radio is not linear television.
Just under 50 million people are tuning into *live* radio every week.

Just finished the Pitcairn Trials - incredibly compelling podcast series on the mass sexual abuse prosecutions in 2004. Respectfully and masterfully told. Survivor Glenda is the heart of the narrative.
