Pick of the Week

Available for over a year

We're taking a trip to Wales for St David’s Day, and time travelling through the trees of Blaenau Ffestiniog with sculptor David Nash. There’s a spider monologuing in the bathtub on Radio 4, and on that note of absurdity, we hear an ‘eartoon’ on the overuse of words in the English language from Stagedoor Johnny - it's literally unmissable stuff. Plus, the story of the 82 year old whose obscure cassette found its way into the hearts of millions thirty years on. Presenter: Huw Stephens Producer: Anthony McKee Production Coordinators: Caroline Peddle and Caoilfhinn McFadden
