For those who like listening to 'talk' radio I have a couple of suggestions for something that is a bit different and I hope others may find as interesting as I have.
First, a series that has been running for a while but I have only just stumbled across and that is 'The Verb', presented by Ian McMillan.
Ian's guests in this episode include the Poet Laureate Simon Armitage with poetry from his latest collection 'New Cemetery', impressionist and poet Alistair McGowan and Joelle Taylor with her new book 'Maryville'.
My second offering, recently returned to Radio 4 'Add to Playlist' which I find totally intriguing as it weaves a path through a range of genera from across the globe and classical to modern.
In this episode Pianist and silent film music specialist Neil Brand and trumpeter Imogen Whitehead join Jeffrey Boakye and Anna Phoebe to add the first five tracks of the new series, taking us from an energetic bee to Woodstock via The Netherlands and Bristol.
I hope members will enjoy these and share their own favourites
my apologies to those outside the UK as being BBC they may not be accessible in other countries
