NEW BBC RADIO | Salena Godden on BBC Radio 4 Extra 'Telling Tales' broadcast July 9th 2019

















For those of you that like my BBC radio pieces - I’m reading poetry and talking about courage and resistance on Telling Tales on BBC 4 Extra next Tuesday. We take a look back at the last 25 years of my career and adventures so far and chat about my latest projects. 

The show will feature clips from my BBC radio play ‘A Valentine at Waterloo’ and also the 2018 BBC documentary about my debut novel and work in progress Mrs Death Misses Death. It’s an hour show and will be aired on #BBCRadio4Extra #TellingTales broadcast July 9th, 11am + 12pm. I really enjoyed making this special radio programme, hope you like it too...
