BBC Listening Pod


In 2013 the BBC, in association with the British Library, commissioned a series of mobile recording pods for Radio 4's "The Listening Project".

The proposal is realised as an abstract monolithic black structure- clad in neoprene demountable panels, which evokes the idea of a universal object for communication, rather than clichéd ideas associated with story telling. A series of these enigmatic objects will appear around the UK forming a distinctive communication network. Each monolith can house 2 people and an observer during story telling sessions which are then recorded for the BBC archive.
