Overcoat Media - A Very British Christmas

How do you capture the sounds of Christmas across the UK? Overcoat Media have produced ‘A British Christmas’ for the BBC Radio 4 Illuminated strand of programmes, which is made up entirely of a montage of WhatsApp voice notes from Christmas Day 2024. Amy Wheel, from Overcoat Media, and freelance producer James Bonney, discuss the show’s social history concept and how they gathered the audio.
