Michael Berkeley's guest is the investigative writer David Yallop, whose books have probed some controversial subjects, including the Sicilian mafia, Colombian drug cartels, high-profile criminal cases, and alleged corruption within the Vatican, including the mysterious death of Pope John Paul I. His most recent book, The Power and the Glory, investigates the papacy of John Paul II.
His musical choices range from Gregorian chant, to piano music by Bach and John Field, string quartets by Mendelssohn and Beethoven, and music by the English composers George Butterworth and Elgar.
