Ivan Uncovers & Dem Times

Rebecca Jones introduces Ivan Uncovers by Theo Watkins, and Dem Times by Jacob Roberts-Mensah and Rhys Reed-Johnson.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Arts Correspondent, Rebecca Jones, introduces the best new audio dramas from the New Creatives.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Arts and Arts Council England have joined forces to give 500 emerging artists the chance to tell the stories they want to tell. New Creatives are aged between 16-30 - and their work is featuring on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ TV, online and radio.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 Extra is the place to hear the very best dramas from these writers new to radio. And the writers themselves tell us what inspired them to explore the world of sound.

In this episode we first enter the slightly alarming world of Ivan Uncovers, written and starring Theo Watkins. After that, teenage pupil Samuel must come to grips with a new world of education in Ghana, in Dem Times written by Jacob Roberts- Mensah and Rhys Reed-Johnson.
