The best of BBC Radio this week chosen by Sheila McClennon.

Sheila McClennon chooses the best of BBC Radio this week.

This week David Sedaris treats us to an impromptu post op performance - in words thankfully not sounds. And Mitchell and Webb wonder if making classical music more accessible has all been a big hashtag mistake. We're Home on the Range with a Lone German cowboy and hear how Dr Strangelove's War Room fooled a President. And there's a moving drama dealing with dementia and the daughter struggling to make sense of who she now is...
