In New York City on the morning of 9/11, teenage Cora is skipping school, waiting for a boyfriend who never shows up. Frustrated, she drops a tab of acid on her tongue, moments before the planes slam into the Twin Towers. As Cora watches the disaster on the news and the sky outside fills with smoke, her life and her acid-blurred perceptions of the world begin to spiral out of control. Cora’s father is at work, inside the World Trade Center’s North Tower, and will never be seen again.

Here’s a small selection of some of the best radio programmes and moments from the last decade. These are the shows, series and podcasts that I’ve returned to as comfort listening, that I’ve recommended to other people countless times, or just that made me gasp with horror, collapse into laughter, or start sobbing while unloading the dishwasher.

Radio stars: (from left to right): Melvyn Bragg, Sara Cox, Ken Bruce and John Humphrys This week I’ve said goodbye to the regular radio column I’ve written for this paper since 2019, and the radio writing I’ve done in general since 2016. Writing about radio every week has been joyous, exasperating, absurd, occasionally even a little bit profound.

Writing about radio every week has been joyous, exasperating, absurd, occasionally even a little bit profound.

In the 1990s, I had this novelty FM radio that was in the shape of Wallace and Gromit sitting in their living room. The volume knob was Gromit’s dog bowl, and you tuned to the station you wanted by twisting a green and yellow polka-dot pouffe. I have this memory of turning through the frequencies, the white noise giving way to music and speech and then disappearing into the ether again. When I was a child, radio was something that emerged as if by magic from the static.
