Quentin Howard’s Original Radio Birdsong Podcast

The original Radio Birdsong is now a podcast!

Throughout the summer of 1992, listeners heard birds and country sounds on their radios as a new station, Classic FM, prepared to go on air and tested its transmitters with Radio Birdsong.

The original recordings, made in Quentin Howard's Wiltshire garden, were digitally mixed into a soundscape by Doug Ford (from Skywalker Sound) to produce this now famous recording of Radio Birdsong.
