Hundreds of hours of original plays have been cut from the corporation’s programming in recent years. If the trend continues, a valuable training ground for writers will be lost

I’ve just come from four days in a surf town north of Manila. The seaside has always been a refuge for me. But being around happy people did my heart and mind so much good.

After lurking here for a few weeks, I'm finding a few old connections from Twitter. Loved those haiku and tanka challenges, the "follow Friday" ritual, those virtual good mornings/good evenings that made the old platform so much fun in the Aughts. Finding some great audio people too. Hello, all.
