  • 467 - Gary Little: At Large

    Stand-up comedy from Glaswegian comedian Gary Little, who hilariously shows there’s always two ways of looking at things.

    Growing up in the second poorest area of Scotland, Gary’s life seemed inevitably set to be marred by depression, addiction or incarceration.

    The violence and social deprivation in Glasgow’s Springburn boiled down to survival of the fittest, where Gary’s honed wits kept him alive and prosperous.

    But dodgy childhood deals led him to darker places - selling drugs to his friends, then their friends, and then… everyone’s friends.

    In this episode, Gary reflects on the lies he swallowed as a child, including Uncle Elvis, and how being a people pleaser ultimately led to trouble he couldn’t talk his way out of, and eight years inside.

    More true criminal than true crime, this series gives a different perspective on life before, behind and beyond bars.

    Written and performed by Gary Little. Produced by Julia Sutherland A Dabster production for BBC Radio 4.

  • 463 - Tim Key's Poetry Programme

    The poetry show (without the poetry) returns for more comic chaos, with guests Stephen Merchant and Lolly Adefope.

    This is a poetry programme like no other – over the course of 6 series Key has performed magic, music, cookery and witchcraft; he’s delivered a baby, gone underground, up the Shard and into space.

    And sometimes he finds time to read poems.

    This series, regulars Tom Basden and Katy Wix are joined by guest stars Stephen Merchant, Lolly Adefope, Mike Wozniak, Sam Campbell, Simon Armstrong and Morgana Robinson.

    Written and presented by Tim Key

    Produced by James Robinson A BBC Studios Audio Production for Radio 4
