This week’s episode in our podcast series is the first of several featuring Hugh Huddy<\/strong>, who, with his wife Madeleine, is the creative force behind Radio Lento<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, a podcast series presenting wonderfully evocative soundscapes recorded in the natural environment. From dawn chorus in the Forest of Dean to shingle beaches at Folkestone, each Radio Lento episode presents an immersive listening experience, offering, in Hugh’s own words, ‘weekly sound postcards from beautiful places.’<\/p>\n

\"\"In this first episode, Hugh reflects on the challenges of recording the natural world; the concept of authenticity and being true to the practice of capturing the environment in sound, in single, unedited takes; and similarities between listening to soundscapes and to music, and the idea of defeating time.<\/p>\n
