Sarah Katz pinged me on AIM this morning, to say that having read my posting about Long Way Round she’d found it being aired in the USA – beeped for swearing, of course – and rather liked it.

This reminded me that Glenn at work had said Ewan was reading the book on Radio4; this incited me to look it up, and have a listen. It’s more focused and rather different to the TV series, which although good is rather “padded” to fit a 1hr broadcast slot.

The streaming radio will be available for another week after the last episode airs today: [www.bbc.co.uk]
