Crossword Genius

Follow story on the radio (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tail

'follow' is the definition.
(both can mean to chase or pursue)

'story on the radio' is the wordplay.
'story' becomes 'tale' (synonyms).
'on the radio' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'tale' sounds like 'TAIL'.

(Other definitions for tail that I've seen before include "Follow - rear part of aeroplane" , "Flexible part that extends from an animal's rear" , "part of coat" , "Follow; end part" , "Queue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Telegraph.
