Comedian Sindhu Vee on Prince
Comedian Sindhu Vee chooses the pop polymath and global superstar, Prince Rogers Nelson. With Matthew Parris. From 2019.
Comedian Sindhu Vee has loved Prince ever since she was a young girl in India - when her sister gave her illicit cassettes recorded from US radio.
A pop polymath and global superstar, Prince was also a man of extreme contradictions and multiple personas.
Hearing his music changed Sindhu's life forever, and seeing him perform influenced her career as a comedian.
Sindhu is joined by BAFTA-winning investigative journalist Mobeen Azhar (who saw Prince live 54 times) and presenter Matthew Parris, to discuss the life of Prince Rogers Nelson.
Produced at BBC Bristol by Eliza Lomas.
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in September 2019.
