"In dreams begin reminiscences."
- Dr. Ahmet Beradi, Consultant Psychiatrist (2000).
This pop novel is a sequel to FM247: This Is Radio Binfield! by Rob Spooner and Andrew Worsdale.
Following an acute psychotic episode, Lugwin Loggins, the DJ narrator of FM247: Radios In Motion, is admitted to Speedwell Hospital. Locked away in the hinterlands of Binfield State, he is haunted by a childhood dream about the killing of the Albanian Civil Rights leader, Ramiz F. Kreshnik.
His doctor, Dr. Beradi, prescribes radio therapy to help unlock the meaning of this dream and as part treatment of his schizo-affective disorder which causes him to hear voices, including that of his inspirational DJ persona, 'The Emperor'.
Lugwin resolves to compile a playlist of one hundred songs for his radio therapy. Each song informs his understanding of how his fractured family background has impacted on his brittle mental health as he seeks to transition to 'community care' at Pier View Court, a supported housing unit in Binfield-on-Sea.
Will this be sufficient to protect his struggling mental health? Can Lugwin make his dream of public service broadcasting a reality? Tune into FM247: Radios In Motion to find out.
"A pop novel meets concept album with DJ overdubs - it's time to crank up the unusual music-related stories of FM247 once again!"
- Andrew Worsdale, co-author of FM247: This Is Radio Binfield!
