Byte High no Limit

Joe Banks - Disinformation, Poet of Noise

Joe Banks has been working with Very low frequency (VLF) since the early nineteen-nineties. His various installations have been exhibited and performed worldwide and been shown on national TV & Radio stations including BBC Radio Four's Today Programme. His challenging experiments into Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) demonstrate the minds conscious and unconscious working in a conflicting synergy. 
 
In this episode Joe speaks to me and my excellent co-host and inspiration, Leila Johnston about how playing with his Dad's trainset as a child propelled him to the Sonic voyage of the Disinformation project, his family and future projects.

teletext People - Graham Norwood

"We were the first people in the World to do this sort of thing..."
Graham Norwood.
 
Graham is a prolific travel writer and Formula One fan, but before all of this he cut his journalistic teeth at BBC Ceefax.
Graham recalls the stories and events that the service reported on and conveyed to the public in it's unique way.
There is also a rare insight into how some Ceefax staff felt in the food-chain of BBC journalists. Were these fair observations?
Listen and share your thoughts...
