If I liked Tracks on Radio 4, what else might I like?

[BaconAndAvocado]

Loving this series.

Can anyone recommend any other fantastic dramas on Radio 4?

Whilst the thread is busy, I'll continue with my Katie Hims-themed indoctrination. I give you Black Dog:

or

It's not speculative, just a solid involving drama.

Ooo lots of interesting stuff to investigate...thanks to all pps for the suggestions.

@nauticant Yes Listening to the Dead! It was really good.

This is such a good thread!

Thanks all.On penultimate episode of Tracks series 4, the last!

Got lots to investigate! 🙏

Really enjoyed Listening to the Dead - thanks for the recommendation

There are 5 series of Tracks!

Lycanthropology Holy moly, you’re right! 🙌🏻

Not sure if this is strange but I’m developing a crush on the guy who plays Freddy....I’ve no idea what he looks like but I LOVE his Irish lilt and wry humour (I know he’s not real btw 🤣)

Just commenting to say I’m really enjoying Tracks after seeing it recommended here, makes wrapping presents and housework move along.

Also taking notes of other recommendations.

Going directly to the question of "If I liked Tracks on Radio 4, what else might I like?", the creator of Tracks, Matthew Broughton, made a drama called Broken Colours, series 2 of which starts next week:

Series 1 is still available:

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/series/m0014p7z

However, series 1 was not as entertaining as Tracks and I think series 2 will be similar fare of I'll-listen-if-it's-on.

I've just remembered another series from, I think, a couple of years ago that I really enjoyed called Passenger List.

I missed the second series and it's not available on Sounds any more but is up on Apple podcasts so am catching up.

passengerlist.org

I have just listened to series 1 of Broken Colours today excellent stuff.

I'm pleased to hear that comfortablyfrumpy. I thought Broken Colours was good listening but didn't want people giving it a go and expecting another Tracks. It's very different. I was happy to tune in yesterday for Series 2 and will also listen to the next episode today.

The White Vault is an interesting, creepy podcast drama that I enjoyed... maybe other Tracks fans would, too.

Have started listening to Passenger List.

Very good!

Thanks for this - just started listening am on ep.4, and already I'm intrigued....this has been a great thread, thanks to the op for starting it and for all the recommendations.

Thanks everyone for all these recommendations. I’m hopefully getting some new headphones for use on my dog walks so will get to listen to lots of new stuff.
I still haven’t managed to finish Series 4 of Tracks so have one more series to go!
Just love Romola Garai in the role of Helen and of course Freddy ❤️

Ooooh love a radio 4 drama.

I'm so behind the times I havent worked out how to download (as opposed to find and stream) . I will do this over Xmas!

There was a chilling one I heard most of about a psychologist, a social worker and a person who had been in prison for starting fires. It was so clever. If anyone knows what it was called I'd love tk listen to how it finishes!!!

FunctionalSkills that is This Thing of Darkness. I really enjoyed that

Thank you for this thread, since reading it I have completed Tracks and am now on the second series of Passenger List.
Can't wait to try more recommendations!

Lovecraft is fantastic, binge listened to all of that last year.

Thanks for this thread, I’m working my way through it (as a Tracks-lover).

Listened to the Lovecraft stuff first, and have just finished all the previous Julian Simpson ones here: https://m.soundcloud.com/purehokum

Recommend!

Just started Tracks series 1 episode 1. Thank you!

Moved onto the white vault - loved it!
