BBC Radio 4 – Living on the Edge

Ten coastal encounters, presented by Richard King
Not simply town or countryside, the coastline is a place apart – attracting lives and stories often overlooked. In these ten programmes, writer Richard King travels around the UK coast to meet people who live and work there. A sequence of portraits rooted in distinct places, which piece together into an alternative portrait of the UK: an oblique image of the nation drawn from the coastal edge.
