    The Orchestra

    We highly recommend headphones for this stereo episode! We're going out, so grab your coat! Join me at a world famous London location to hear a rare and unique recording. Working in film has given me access to some fascinating places. In this episode I was hired to record sound for a 'behind the scenes' film shoot. Sadly the film never got made, so the audio has been sat in my archive. Until now...

Now a few years since discovering who was behind it, she shares her story. “A lot of people think stalking is something that just happens to celebrities, but the reality is that it can happen to anyone... Sometimes the problem can build up slowly and it can take a while for you to realise you are caught up in an ongoing campaign of abuse.” - www.victimsupport.org.uk
