John Peel's Shed

In 2002, John Osborne won a competition on John Peel's late night show on BBC Radio 1.

His prize was a box of records that took him eight years to listen to.

This is John's ode to radio, those records and anyone who's ever sought solace in the wireless. It's a story about one man's love for radio - and how it allows you to escape into another world.

Based on John's book 'Radio Head', this is about what happened next: a show about the pleasure of having your own personal project. The story is about passion, obsession with music and about legacy; trying to do something special with such a rare, eclectic box of records - thanks to John Peel.

Producer: John Pocock

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in December 2011.
