Antonia Quirke makes her selection of the best of BBC Radio this week.

On Pick of the week this week join Antonia Quirke on the water where she encounters poets, child prodigies, sea turtles and lost parents. A voyage - sometimes perilous and full of longing that pushes and pulls down the Euphrates and the Tigris. Tides rising fast. Lakes in the shadow of black crags and rivers bursting their banks leaving nothing behind but ruined houses and the purr of humidifiers in damp-ruined rooms.
