Description: | Select Guide Rating An official companion book to From Our Own Correspondent, BBC Radio 4's flagship foreign affairs programme. For more than sixty years on the air, From Our Own Correspondent has been one of BBC Radio''s flagship programmes. It takes listeners to parts of the world they''ve never been, and perhaps never would go in their lives: war zones, refugee camps, elite universities, space stations, spy academies and lions'' dens of all kinds. Its reports introduce audiences to people they might never expect to meet: kingpins, revolutionaries, assassins and outcasts. The programme has always relied on the power of personal testimony, with its contributors not merely reporting the news, but also sharing what they found out along the way, and how it felt. Very often, it was their individual impressions and responses which made a dispatch vivid and memorable. |
