On arrival in Brooklyn, surrounded by 86 boxes in a tiny apartment which needed a deep clean, Radio 4 was my salvation. It smoothed my entry into our new life, delivering me my regular programming and, of course, my daily dose of The Archers.

Only problem, I was listening five hours behind. My day would start with Martha Kearney not John Humphrys;  2pm felt like 7pm not just because of jet-lag, but because Radio 4 was winding down; voices were softer and programmes less argumentative.

Fellow expat Adam Foster in Seattle, WA, (with an eight hour-Radio 4 delay) found a solution by developing Radio-4-Matic; a repurposed Roberts radio hiding a Raspberry Pi computer streaming on a delay. The hack then earned him an appearance on PM. How meta.
