The Prisoner and the Budgerigar

Sony award winning podcast. Les spent 6 years in prison where his life was turned around by looking after a budgie. His thoughts are inter-woven with those of Robert King, a Catholic chaplain. The beautiful music is by Gareth Davies-Jones.
Sony Judges comments:
"A beautifully and subtly crafted programme which used the simplest materials to tell a compelling story and deliver profound emotional impact. It was perfectly adapted to the medium, breaking genre boundaries to deliver its message to the target audience with perfect pitch."
