Calling All Pensioners
Magazine programme with Tim Hamilton, addressing issues which affect pensioners across London. This week: Age UK shares their campaign calling for reforming social care – for too long it has been underfunded, understaffed and undervalued, with older people and their families often left to struggle without the care they need. Independent Age’s campaigner, Emma, calls for you to build on your recent feedback, in getting you to tell them about the impact of receiving key social security entitlements. Plus, we hear how local Age UK branches, like Age UK Waltham Forest offer programmes of exercise classes to help participants to feel better and move more for a better later life. Our musical tribute is to Bill Oddie who was an English comedian, writer, television presenter and conservationist, and best known as a member of the 1970s’ zany comedy show, The Goodies. Produced by Deptford Action Group for the Elderly. [Repeats Sunday 2pm.]

Gwaith Sŵn's Sonic Darts
Sound-art and transmission-art delivered monthly by London sound art collective Gwaith Sŵn. This month: Breakbeats in the Machine. What happens when the energy of the rave enters the console? This programme traces a two-way exchange between jungle, drum & bass and computer game music from the early 1990s to 2011. Beginning with Remarc’s radically reorganised Amen breaks, it moves through Photek, Dillinja, Ray Keith, Shimon and Andy C, alongside original game compositions by Jun Chikuma, Andrew Sega, Soichi Terada, Hiroshi Okubo and Tetsukazu Nakanishi. These records and soundtracks reveal more than a shared taste for rapid breakbeats, they connect pirate radio, dubplate culture and communal dance floors with cartridge memory, tracker software, domestic consoles and navigable virtual worlds. The programme travels from jungle’s independent London infrastructure to Japanese game composers reconstructing its rhythmic language inside new technological limits.
