This was a four-part series Jarvis did for BBC Radio 4. They made it available as a podcast, and you can find it easily on iTunes. It has the same intimate, soothing atmosphere as JCSS, with dialogue by Jarvis linking together interviews and snippets of music.
Wireless Nights: Jarvis Cocker prowls the dark, finding stories of night-time people.
1. Overnight Delivery (2012-04-05)
Jarvis boards the red-eye, taking a transatlantic flight of the imagination. He's gripped by the life and death stories of a shepherdess in the middle of a difficult birth, a transplant nurse on late shift and a real life exorcist.
2. They Only Come Out at Night (2012-04-12)
Jarvis slips between the shadows to eavesdrop on punks, poets, poker dens and an alcohol-fuelled badger watch.
3. Behind Closed Doors (2012-04-19)
Jarvis goes on foot through the city. He joins a lock-in, and shares the loneliness of a prisoner who dreams of empty streets under a full moon. Plus, one man relives the night when the doors shut in his brain.
4. Night Manoeuvres (2012-04-26)
Jarvis invites you on a kerb crawl around the seamy side of town. He joins a private eye on the trail of a suspected adulterer; finds a minicab driver lost in the fog between fares; and is encircled by street skaters seeking thrills on wheels.
