Though I remain a fan of Paddy O'Connell's Broadcasting House and enjoy hearing the occasional contributions of sound recordist Chris Watson, Paddy's 'slow radio' theme (featuring Mr Watson) has a very 'BBC' undercurrent to it: The news at the moment is so awful (Brexit, Trump, etc), so wouldn't it be lovely to escape from it for a minute or so and listen to the sounds of a Finnish lake instead?
Paddy gave that recurring BH theme a classic, sighing statement this morning:
With the Brexit, with Donald Trump, with the new missile test in Korea, with...I can get updates even while I'm asleep of all of this...do you actively seek out a world where there are no humans?
Nice linkage of Brexit with the North Korean nuclear test there, Paddy!
A media type (maybe BBC, they all seem clones) was using Kim Wrong Un's latest attack on a body of water earlier to claim that the world was a more dangerous place now President Trump was heading up the US.

The UN wrote a stiff letter.
Obama likely drew a line in a tricky bunker.
