BBC Radio

Did you hear about this? No.

So way back in the day, right? I think it was BBC Radio in the UK.

They started to narrate...

They're usually known for news.

Rage Against the Machine, hear about it and reform specifically in order to...

They start doing interviews, and they do an appearance on BBC Radio.

And they don't do it on Radio 1, the pop station, and they don't do it on 6 Music, which is the BBC's alternative music station.

They do it on BBC Radio 5, which is the BBC's news and sports station.

They go on Radio 5 Breakfast Show, which has millions of listeners, and they perform Down the Line from L.A., Killing in the Name, at 8 o'clock in the morning.

That's

In August 1933, the Inverness Courier newspaper published the account of the Spicer's alleged sighting, and public interest now skyrocketed, with countless letters being sent in detailing different sightings of a monster fish or a dragon in the loch from over the years.

It was again written by Alexander Campbell, who when interviewed in 1983 for BBC radio programme Fact or Fiction, described hearing about the Mackay's experience, saying, ''I knew it was a good story, something quite out of the ordinary.'' On getting home, I puzzled my brains only on one point.

In what word could I refer to the creature? At last, monster suggested itself.

And that's how I introduced the Loch Ness Monster to the newspaper world.

She is always referred to in the feminine tense.

And one American trombone player, Bob Zamborski...

even tried to coax Nessie out with a mating call to her on his instrument, telling BBC Radio Highland in the very memorable quote that if she did emerge to his mating call, then one of two things would happen, saying, Indeed, eh? Now, they weren't all mental like this, however, for there have been also countless organisations formed and expeditions over the years to hunt for the creature and study the science of the Loch, beginning most notably with the Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau, a UK-based society formed in 1962, I quote, to study Loch Ness to identify the creature known as the Loch Ness Monster or determine the causes of reports of it.

By 1967, it had received a grant of £20,000 from the World Book Encyclopedia to fund a two-year programme of daylight watches from May to October, principally using 35mm movie cameras with 20-inch lenses mounted on mobile units that covered about 80% of the Loch's surface.

right? That's it, yeah.

So BBC Radio, so it's an audio taping that will take place in Manchester.

And I haven't revealed this anywhere else.

This is, I guess, what you would call an exclusive.

And suddenly, now they're interested.

So this is a show to educate them.

And I am told... hopefully it is going to be airing on Canada Day in the UK on BBC Radio 4 next year.

And ironically, none of the Brits will know that that's Canada Day until they listen to the show.

Now, I'm delighted to say that in amongst all the comments on Cuts, listeners have still found time to send in nominations for Feedback's interview of the year.

That's our award chosen by you, the listeners, for a standout interview heard anywhere across BBC Audio.

I'll be announcing the top nominations and, of course, the winner on a special programme just before Christmas.

This week, listener Dr Jan Lewis has nominated Radio 2 presenter Dermot O'Leary for his live interview with Hollywood legend Sylvester Stallone on his Saturday morning show.

In 1923, Campoli made his professional debut as violinist at London's Wigmore Hall.

In the 1930s, Campoli became known as the leader of London's light music, with his Salon Orchestra, Grand Concert Orchestra, Marimba Tango Orchestra, and Welbeck Light Quartet, all heard regularly on BBC Radio and in London restaurants.

He owned not one, but two Stradivarius violins, one made in 1694 and the other in 1700.

Following World War II, Campoli dropped his first name, Alfredo, so as not to be associated with light music.
