Some radio producer's comments:
« I think "The little man in the ear" is a beautiful, spacious work which has much wit and many laughs as well as superbly captured atmospherics. I was delighted to learn that it had won the Phonurgia Nova. »
Simon Elmes
Executive Producer, Radio Documentaries, BBC
« On 14th november "The little man in the ear" will be aired by Suedwestrundfunk Baden-Baden. It is a wonderful production which shows new possibilities of a genre which we may call ars acustica-roadmovies.»
