Dear Mohit, Hugh and Eleanor,

We are devastated by the news of the BBC’s cancellation of Short Cuts.

In a time where audio imaginations are being squashed by commercial realities, Short Cuts has been a stronghold for creativity. While the podcasting gmarket exploded, and imploded, Short Cuts has been a life raft for audio-makers and artists from all over the world to hold onto. Rather than fostering one particular style of storytelling, Short Cuts continues to inspire a generation of makers around the world to try new things, be ambitious, and tell stories they can’t tell elsewhere. In this way, the influence of Short Cuts goes far beyond its series. It is more than just a podcast, it is a call to action, a cultural hub, an informal mentorship programme, an ode to audio that takes time. We agree with The Guardian’s Miranda Sawyer “that this is one of the most important programmes on UK radio”.

For 12 years, Short Cuts has engaged with so many people in such different ways. From the global audiences that listened to its thought-provoking pieces, to emerging producers who broadcast work for the first time, to the countless artists whose craft has been inspired by Short Cuts’s dedication to the art of audio and the spirit of adventure.

Short Cuts has exposed audiences across the UK and around the world to award-winning short-form audio journalism and art that consistently surprises and delights listeners. It’s work expands people’s palates beyond typical radio and podcasting formats. Short Cuts has broadened its audience’s imaginations.

Not every story can exist as a sprawling 12-part series or even a 30-minute one-off documentary. Not everything needs to. Short Cuts provides a space for small yet important stories. Artistic work, especially short work, is often dismissed as small-scale or low impact, but Short Cuts manages to expertly balance the personal and intimate alongside high-stakes topical subjects, like the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the war in Ukraine, institutional racism, the climate crisis and countless other pressing issues.

Short Cuts is an essential part of the audio ecosystem, providing many emerging creators with their first radio broadcast, as well as creating a space where veterans can experiment, innovate and develop their form. New producers get to share the airwaves with these experienced producers — often their heroes — rather than be siloed in a slot specifically for new makers, where they would be branded by their inexperience and therefore infantilised. Instead, Short Cuts is non-hierarchical. It’s a space for cross-pollination: a place for writers, poets and other disciplines to experiment with audio.

Contributors have gone on to get jobs and win awards from Short Cuts entries, such as Third Coast, The British Podcast Awards, The Audio Production Awards, Prix Marulić, Grand Prix Nova and more. In 2023 a Short Cuts piece was chosen as BBC Radio 4’s Pick of the Year. The show is a cost-efficient, low-risk way of training new talent. While we appreciate recent BBC schemes such as Audio Lab, these serve different purposes and both should exist. Each year Short Cuts has been able to impact many entry-level producers in smaller but still life-changing ways, providing them with a supportive environment in which to make work on a show that is recognised and respected within the industry.

Falling Tree’s selection process is also unique and labour intensive. Their pitching form is purposefully accessible — asking for only two short paragraphs and not requiring time-consuming pre-interviews or tape gathering. They respond to everyone who applies with a line of specific feedback as well as a broad report of the round, and transparency surrounding the process. They even offer half-hour calls to anyone who wants to understand more about the decision-making. Nowadays, a producer feels lucky to even receive a rejection email, so it is abundantly clear Falling Tree goes well out of its way to make the process supportive.

We would like to know about the details of your decision and we ask that you provide a statement outlining your reasoning. We understand that budgets are tight and it cannot be easy to be in your shoes, but we feel that a decision that impacts the entire industry in such a momentous way requires transparency. If it is purely around numbers that feels disappointing as the BBC often boasts about its ability to take risks that other networks can’t because it doesn’t face the same commercial pressures. So one would hope that the commissioning team could see the benefits of Short Cuts beyond a spreadsheet — a show that has been taught in classrooms around the world, played at international festivals and received cabinets worth of awards, all while taking the brand of the BBC with it. Additionally, from an economic perspective, Short Cuts allows the BBC to serve as a sampling, a kind of audio test drive. In fact, many pieces go on to be developed into one-off or long-form work for the broadcaster.

We view Short Cuts as an important continuation of the BBC’s history of audio innovation, following in the footsteps of The Radiophonic Workshop and pioneering producers like Charles Parker. Without Short Cuts, the BBC will be losing an essential pipeline of future audio talent and innovation. It will also be losing a show that has been a major contributor to BBC 4’s internationally recognised status as an industry leader in audio features and documentary.

To that end, we would like to ask that you reconsider your decision to cancel Short Cuts. It is an irreplaceable show, with a dedicated audience, an unmatched cultural impact and a team that nurtures talent and stories with a rare sensibility and care.

We look forward to hearing from you.
