298 Thunderstorm over sonorous rural woodland (warning – sudden shock thunderclaps)
01:32:35 | Episode: 303 | June 20th, 2026
Last month on the evening of 26 May a huge lightning storm centred over a remote wooded area on the Leicestershire-Rutland border where we had left the Lento box alone to record. From where we were staying about three quarters of a mile away we could see fork lightning. We were worried that our equipment might not survive.
297 Sonorous rural woodland before an approaching storm
01:01:48 | Episode: 302 | June 2nd, 2026
Last week we took the Lento box to capture the natural soundscapes of rural Leicestershire and Rutland. Our visit coincided with the warmest May temperatures on record and as it turned out the most powerful thunderstorms we’d ever experienced.
296 Looking out on Portland Harbour part 2
00:44:50 | Episode: 301 | May 11th, 2026
Here beneath the tree again, at the water’s edge. Looking out on Portland Harbour. Left of scene the sunlit parapets of Nothe Fort. Ahead the flat sun-drenched sea, with lazy waves rolling in over half exposed rocks. Right of scene are some small boats, tugging against their moorings. Rising and falling on light swell.
295 Low tide on the causeway – part II (sleep safe with occasional herring gulls and oyster catchers)
01:01:59 | Episode: 300 | April 16th, 2026
A soundscene, of an island. Asleep. Between the tides. About this time last year we visited Burgh Island in Devon on the south west coast of England. We made two long-form overnight recordings while we were there. Burgh Island is reached on-foot from Bigbury-on-Sea via a sand causeway. The causeway completely disappears beneath the waves twice a day at high tide making the island accessible only via the magnificent sea tractor.
294 Dawn in Shelve Wood Shropshire with cuckoo
01:01:54 | Episode: 299 | March 21st, 2026
The moment we entered Shelve Wood we knew it was a perfect place to record. Shropshire is sparsely populated. There’s only one B road in the Shelve Wood area. The country lanes carry little traffic, and on the day we were on-location the skies were very often empty of aircraft. These qualities are highly valuable because they allow the delicate natural sound in the environment to reach your eardrums unaffected. Hearing the leaves of one city tree hushing in the wind is a nice thing to experience, but hearing thousands of trees all murmuring together across a huge reverberant natural space is an aural experience that brings nature connection on a completely different level.
293 Pools of Rye Harbour (sleep safe)
01:00:20 | Episode: 298 | March 2nd, 2026
The Lento box records alone, tied to a tree, behind thickets of gorse. The night hours pass. The microphones capture the panoramic peace of this wild coastal landscape. Rye Harbour Nature Reserve on the East Sussex coast. The tree holding the mics overlooks one of the many small lakes across the reserve. In daytime these bodies of water mirror the sky, and provide different types of wildlife with a calmer place to be compared to the nearby sea.
292 Moorland trees in December gales – Derbyshire (sleep safe after owls at start)
01:00:04 | Episode: 297 | February 12th, 2026
Exposed moorland trees create a strong natural source of undulating white noise when shouldering the brunt of a winter gale. The sounds they produce are uniquely enchanting and an absolute delight to experience. For us it’s the beating heart of what it is to be immersed in the great outdoors, and one of the reasons we set Radio Lento up in the first place. To capture and share the aural essences of the great outdoors for anyone (including ourselves) who want to experience but can’t always get out to feel time passing in a real natural place.
291 High tide turning – the Crouch Estuary in Essex (sleep safe)
00:49:24 | Episode: 296 | February 1st, 2026
The waves settle into wavelets. The wavelets settle to calm. Then it’s just the pure sound of estuary emptiness, at night.
