Making the Cut

Available for over a year

Nina Garthwaite presents a showcase for delightful and adventurous short documentaries. A selection of brief encounters, true stories, radio adventures and found sound. This week, Nina hears about the cuts we make and how we learn to recover from them. From not making the cut in a team to the actions of a rogue hairdresser. We hear one man's story of how he coped working inside an Irish "meat factory" and the unusual soundtrack that enveloped him, and a modern retelling of the old Persian fable which looks at how the moon got her scars.
