Haroon Rashid

Pick of the Week

Available for over a year

This week, Haroon finds himself engrossed in a world of sounds, whether it's the sound of the summer as offered by listeners of Radio 1, or the sound of Ben Archer riding horseback in Radio 4's Hay Festival tent. We get a history of the classic seaside treat, a 99 ice cream, which no-one seems to be able to agree on, and agreement is dish rarely served on The Kitchen Cabinet, much like a plate of the lukewarm steak that's tearing the panel apart. Plus, mum's the word on Radio 4, although not in a Shakespearean sense; Ashley Walters and Romesh Ranganathan chat about the impact their mothers have had in their lives, whilst 'momager' Tina Knowles talks about the early days of raising music legends Beyoncé and Solange. Presenter: Haroon Rashid Producer: Anthony McKee Production Coordinator: Caroline Peddle A BBC Audio Northern Ireland production for BBC Radio 4.
