    Something Close To Nothing

    Tim Ryan's podcast ‘Something Close to Nothing’ takes us on a 24 hour tour of the Feeder Road in mid November, through storytelling, interviews with fishermen, and his own personal reflections.  The podcast is a love letter to coarse fishing in general, viewed through the lens of the Feeder Road, Bristol. A unique space, capable of visually articulating its own history. Its industrial failure and the nature and wildlife that now thrives in and around its ruins.
