plasticbag : Spotted by Dan Hill of cityofsound.com, After Our Time is a blog that responds to and comments upon BBC Radio 4's awesome "In Our Time" - I was introduced to 'In Our Time' by Mr Webb and it was the first show that he managed to get out of the door in a podcast format. It was also the one that I was most interested in being annotated. Nice to see it happening.

plasticbag : After Our Time also has a wiki for more rigorous collaborative annotation of "In Our Time" - I haven't had much of a chance to interrogate this yet, but conceptually at least it's a lovely idea. I do rather wish the BBC had done it (or something like it) though. Ah well.
