And now, live from Derby...

A small corner of Radio 4 has decamped to Derby for two days - to record some big programmes (inlcuding a fantastcially exciting live Woman's Hour this morning, with lots of audience participation), to run some workshops with students and to generally spread the good word with the students and faculty of Derby University.
I've been busy recording short vox pops - I've been asking students to tell me four things they know about Radio 4. Many photographs have been taken, both by me and by Stan Was, a Radio 4 producer. And I've been covering events on Twitter (the hash tag is #R4UniTour). Over the next few weeks we'll be visiting two more universities - at the University of Bedfordshire and in Cardiff - and I'll be covering events here on the blog. Watch this space.
