Doctor Who & The BBC Radiophonic Workshop
Mark Ayres, composer, sound designer, and archivist who cataloged the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, guides listeners through the studio's wild sonic experiments. He recalls tape tricks, Delia Derbyshire's creation of the Doctor Who theme, iconic TARDIS and Dalek effects, the rise of synthesizers, and the workshop's decline and revival. Short, vivid stories about how those sounds were made and preserved.
