It is basically a book club for those who can\u2019t be bothered or haven\u2019t got round to reading any books, with May Cooper attempting to catch up on classic literature having not read anything since finishing her GCSEs. \u201cThe only books I can read and this is absolutely genuine are Jackie Wilson and Tracey Beaker,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are six episodes, with Tim Key, Jamali Maddix, Diane Morgan, Katie Price, Nish Kumar and Alan Carr. This is an Audible Original so you need to be a subscriber to listen (but it doesn\u2019t use up any of your credits.) Oh and as you would expect with anything to do with Cooper, there are a lot of swears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fukushima<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>It has now been more than a decade since the devastating Fukushima Daiichi disaster, the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. A devastating 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Japan and the subsequent tsunami flooded reactors and cut off the power at the station, resulting in several core meltdowns and the contamination and evacuation of a large surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This new BBC World Service drama explores how the catastrophe unfolded, but also the people who stopped the crisis becoming far worse. New episodes are out every single week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
