Jon Holmes

Jon Holmes, creator and producer of Radio 4’s scathing satirical soundscape The Skewer, travel writer and licensed drone pilot chooses his highlights from the past week on BBC Radio and BBC Sounds. He ascends with the lark to the music of Vaughan Williams, joins Alexei Sayle on a train, and gets a huge surprise to discover that Elgar wrote heavy metal music. He takes a walk with Aaron Sorkin, and goes back in time to the TV themes of his childhood. And he shares the moving moments as a fellow BBC Radio presenter says an emotional goodbye to his Mum.
