- Francesca Panetta
Hackney depends on buses. With no tubes, they're how we get around. But what do you do while you're on the bus? Read, eye up the guy opposite? Is it a space for reflection? Or just irritation? Hackney's bus riders tell us. We hear from Alfie Dennen about his Bus-Tops project, from Anthony Morris the bus mechanic who keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes and from driver Pauline Jacobs and passenger Carole Allen who helped deliver a baby on the 394 last year. Plus bus-themed performances from poet Michael Rosen and musician Earl Zinger.

Timing and Cues
The Hackney Podcast is an award winning programme made in Britain by producer Francesca Panetta. The program was set up in 2008 to record the different faces of London's district of Hackney: one of Britain's poorest places but culturally one of its richest and an area of rapid regeneration as the 2012 Olympics head to the East of London.
This programme hops on to the bus. With no tubes in the area, buses are how residents and workers get around. But what do you do while you're on the bus? Read, eye up the guy opposite? Is it a space for reflection? Or just irritation? Hackney's bus riders tell us.
