@BBCRadio4 Welcome to the #fediverse. I hope I don't need a licence to read your toots. I will miss you when you close down #longwave.

juergen

@BBCRadio4 Yea. Welcome to the better social Network ! 😘

Florian Haas

@BBCRadio4 In Our Time is my favourite radio show/podcast ever, so count me in as a fan. I'm chuffed to see you all here!

Martin Veart

@BBCRadio4 Welcome. I take it the mad X rebranding was the final straw? You will be relieved to know it is quite nice here; even relatively sane.

Snail

@BBCRadio4 This is excellent. I hope it's a success

Simon B Temple

@BBCRadio4 can't wait for the @mornington.crescent@bbc.social feed, to keep up up to date with the rules.

Dani 🌻

@BBCRadio4 Welcome. Hope you’ll be doing news on the #Mastodon soon. Don’t forget to use a couple of hashtags. Cheers.

Tante Anja

@BBCRadio4 Hitting that follow button faster than a heartbeat! 🙈

BBC Radio 4 has taught me a love for podcasts. Currently Dr. Michael Mosley is my favourite companion on my morning runs. ☺️

@BBCRadio4

And you are already being targeted by #trolls. Welcome to the #Fediverse indeed!

@BBCRadio4 please get the rest of the BBC on here including BBC breaking news

Paul

@BBCRadio4 Please post shortwave shows and their frequencies. I’d love to listen the fun way!

@BBCRadio4 Welcome! It’s very nice to see you here

Gwenfar, child of flowers

@BBCRadio4 oh great, so you can spread the BBCs racism & transphobia here. No thanks.

Aurelius Publius

@BBCRadio4 It would be great to follow your official account rather than a bot. Welcome!

Mark Burton

@BBCRadio4
Excellent news!
Welcome (even though I'll be critical of you at times).

Anarchic Teapot

@BBCRadio4 Welcome.
You know transphobia is banned here, right?

@BBCRadio4
Welcome! The Times They Are A-Changin' (Alternate Version) 😎

Ben Thompson

@BBCRadio4 Welcome! Such great news. Might there be...(gulp)... a feed of the shipping forecast? 🙏🏽

#ShippingForecast

@jbenjamint @BBCRadio4

Now that would be lovely!

North Utsire. Northerly or northeasterly, backing northwesterly later, 2 to 4, occasionally 5 later.

Plague Island Resistance

@BBCRadio4 blocked 🖕 don't need your disinformation here.

Duncan

@BBCRadio4 glad to see you all here. I hope the experiment is a success. Think you set up your Fediverse presence well!

Survive&Thrive

@BBCRadio4 The best news this month! Welcome. Can't wait to subscribe to your Breaking News. How does Chris Mason like being stuck in the studio early in the mornings rather than shoving his mike into politicians' faces onsite? 🙂 You make the world a better place!

PhilipKing

@BBCRadio4 Welcome you will find this much nicer than the other place

Greg Dance

@BBCRadio4

Experiment?

OK well its never to late to get your R4Today Gumbies to conduct interviews on the actual concerning issues of our time, instead of trumping up trivia pieces for the delectation of hard right trench minds.

ie Have you noticed the pandemic of corruption of processes by our gov't yet?

Interviewed any non client economists on Brexit breakages lately?

Or how about the debt burdens dumped on dysfunctional water companies to feed shareholders with?

Lets hear it & see it!

Gilbert Ruiz

@BBCRadio4 Cool! I'd be nice if you added an account dedicated to news.

Annica 🇸🇪

@BBCRadio4 A bold move. Hopefully SVT (your Swedish counterpart) take notice and follow your good example.

rooktallon

@BBCRadio4 I wanna watch BBC stuff because I love the dry humor. In the US though so 😓

Steven Lawson Photography

@BBCRadio4 Welcome to the Fediverse, where all the cool kids hang out.

Chilly Dee Williams

@BBCRadio4 Listener from Akron, Ohio, USA here. My favorite DJs are Gilles Peterson, Jams Supernova, Craig Charles, and Iggy Pop.
Glad you joined us!

Chilly Dee Williams

@BBCRadio4 My bad. I got excited and saw what I wanted to see. I thought this was a Radio 6 account. 😄
I still love you too Radio 4! I love the Infinite Monkey Cage.

Ian Watt

@BBCRadio4 delighted to see you here. Hope you stick around past the 6 month trial!

shawnkebabs

@BBCRadio4 I hope this experiment leads to many favourable findings. All the best and have fun out there!

Ruth Mottram

@BBCRadio4 👋 welcome... I'm looking forward to #GQT turning up too.. 😀

Christian Kent

@BBCRadio4 woohoo! I love the month-old Friday Night Comedy! I really do listen to every episode. It's funny though, how The Now Show had its own podcast server before the BBC launched their own (and later moved to Sounds). It's a bit like having their own social media account before the BBC started a Mastodon server.

James

@BBCRadio4 Welcome! I look forward to seeing how this effort pans out.

penguin42

@BBCRadio4 Welcome! I do hope we can get some nice Vogon poetry!

Anne Fuller

@BBCRadio4 Hello, Here in Alaska I listen to BBC World Service late at night on local radio. #KTOO #NPR

Louise Locock

@BBCRadio4 Maybe you could provide us with links to any of your #BBCRadio4 presenters/reporters who have Mastodon accounts. And any programme pages. Call me a nerd, but I'd love to see #FarmingToday on here.

Jen

@BBCRadio4 hi! Nice to have you here as well as in my car. I hope you stick around :-)

Maarten Steenhagen

@BBCRadio4 I’ll only take this seriously if you’ll broadcast Toot of the Day from now on 😉

Survive&Thrive

@BBCRadio4 Will "Tweet of the Day" be renamed to "Toot of the Day"? 🙂

MARGARET D

@BBCRadio4 We’ve been waiting for you! Welcome!
