In the latest and most extensive in a series of themed editions, the Hackney Podcast brings you a night in the life of this 24-hour borough through the words of its inhabitants, as we meet Mare Street's moonlight bookseller, skirt the edges of a Dalston stabbing, rescue a lost and disillusioned party-goer, feast on a Turkish spread at Somine, trail a Homerton rubbish truck, and greet dawn with the street traders of Broadway Market. Along the way we hear readings from HV Morton and commentary from Night Haunts author Sukhdev Sandhu, helping to reveal some of the strange allurement of the dark unknown.
Interviews: Francesca Panetta, Andrew Dickson, Elisha Sessions, Gregg Morgan
Readings: Frank Burnet
Music: Felix Carey, Bryan Kerr, Ruaridh Law, Shane Solanki

Loved the show last night, Francesca. Great venue and lovely just to listen.
Thanks for coming Kieron. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is the first Hackney Podcast I've listened to, it's fantastic. Who did the music and sound design for this edition? Was it bespoke? It's brilliant. Reminds me of Robin Rimbaud's homage to Derek Jarman, 'The Garden Is Full Of Metal'.
Will certainly be making this a regular listen.
Thanks Alex. All credits above! Next programme on walking in Hackney. And talking of Derek Jarman, do you know Sherre DeLys's piece about his garden? You can hear it on this site along with some other great audio features: http://www.inthedarkradio.org/?page_id=1482

This is definitely my favorite - the sort of thing I have wanted to make for ages!
