Sheila McClennon chooses the best of BBC Radio this week.

This week David Sedaris treats us to an impromptu post op performance - in words thankfully not sounds. And Mitchell and Webb wonder if making classical music more accessible has all been a big hashtag mistake. We're Home on the Range with a Lone German cowboy and hear how Dr Strangelove's War Room fooled a President. And there's a moving drama dealing with dementia and the daughter struggling to make sense of who she now is...
