Asphyxia: The "Idiote", the Library Wifi and the Suppressed Safe #8 - BBC Radio 4

Originally commissioned in 2022 as part of Radio Art Zone's tapestry of 22-hour radio productions, this project by Daniel R. Wilson is re-presented here in episodic form. Asphyxia hacks the antagonising systems which thwart and forestall projects (its name also acknowledges the asphyxiating atmosphere of long-form radio when made by a single person). It is a damaged would-be radio documentary exploring the Narnia of restricted access material and gatekept employment.

This instalment is almost entirely hogged by a supposéd radio show broadcast by BBC Radio 4 that somehow plops the narrator's inner psyche onto the airwaves as part of its daytime drama entertainment scheduling. Featuring: frustration, shoplifting and things to confuse Ofcom.
