This week, Deb's putting on a pair of headphones to discover the best BBC audio, and part of that is finding out how the accessory we've become so accustomed to is having a detrimental effect on our social skills. You'll need a pair of headphones for this; a new Radio 3 series breaks down the crafted surround soundscapes of the radical Stockhausen, with the help of Kate Molleson and Gillian Moore. Writer Maggie O’Farrell muses on the Moomintrolls with John Wilson, and Kirsty Wark manages to bring the band together once more to chat about Roddy Doyle's The Commitments. Presenter: Deb Grant Producer: Anthony McKee Production Co-ordinator: Caroline Peddle A BBC Audio Northern Ireland production for BBC Radio 4.
