Anneka Rice

Pick of the Week

Available for over a year

This week, Anneka discovers the extraordinary adventures of glaciologist Liz Morris, as well as musing on the woman who played a central role in Edward Elgar’s life and livelihood. Cellist Sheku Kanneh-Mason puts down the bow, taking a Springtime stroll with Tom Service, and as we welcome more blue skies, musicologist Allan Moore reveals the secrets of Mr Blue Sky. And it’s not a round-up of the week's radio without a trip to Ambridge – although, this version is slightly different than you may have imagined. Presenter: Anneka Rice Producer: Anthony McKee Production Co-ordinator: Caroline Peddle A BBC Audio Northern Ireland production for BBC Radio 4.
