THE ESSAY is a new strand I'm hoping to introduce to VISION ON SOUND in the near future, in which I take a particular television-related topic or issue and attempt to approach it with a slightly more intense eye which I'm hoping still manages to be entertaining and not too dry. Obviously, I'm hoping that it will eventually become at least a semi-regular feature of the show, but I'm putting this one out to test the waters, and because I've been struggling to find a home for it in the episodes I'm currently working on.
That said, with the way VISION ON SOUND devours content, don't be surprised if you hear it again in a future edition.
The first essay takes the format of Granada TV's WHAT THE PAPERS SAY, and attempts to explain my own frustrations with British Press and how I perceive it in the modern era, and I hope that you enjoy it and, if you do - or don't - you'll let me know what you think.
Equally, if you feel like you might like to suggest a topic (or even contribute an essay yourself) do let me know either via the Twitter account @VisionOnSound1 or via email at vos@fabradiointernational.com
