Characters on the coastline
Most of my interviews are for a forthcoming radio series called "Characters on the coastline" and much of the material is 'work in progress' and not featured on the website.
Have a listen to some of my encounters with the characters I have met along the coastline below.
During my walk I carry with me a brilliant recorder called the Yellowtec ixm, and I am grateful to Preco Broadcast Systems Ltd for their support.
