Simon Parkes with his best of the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

Simon Parkes presents his highlights from the previous seven days of BBC Radio.

Simon Parkes has audio treasures aplenty this week. There's Michael Palin on Ernest Hemingway; Iain Sinclair on W.G. Sebald, oh! And manicured Norfolk landscapes; Nayantara Seghal on her uncle, Jawaharlal Nehru and children's writer Philip Ardagh on beards. Stubbly or otherwise. What more could you want? Well a few other radio morsels, I feel sure.
