The best of the past seven days of BBC Radio, chosen by Val McDermid.

Val McDermid chooses the best of the past seven days of BBC Radio.

Sometimes we need a map to make sense of the bewildering world of radio. To navigate the unfamiliar territory from Beatleland to the home of the Bolicon. To chart a route through the confluences of poetry and music, of art and doormats, of jazz and hip-hop. A set of directions to where X marks the spot. For all of this and more, join Val McDermid on Pick of the Week.
