Stuart Maconie embarks on a cultural journey to explore the Japanese philosophy of 'Ma'.

Stuart Maconie embarks on a cultural journey to explore the Japanese philosophy of 'Ma', examines the music of Miles Davies and Debussy and uncovers the art of burying planes.

According to the Japanese philosophy of' Ma', explored on this week's Pick of the Week shadow is as important as light and silence is as valuable as sound, so let's be brief and simply tell you that we take a Wolverhampton bus ride with Miles Davis, Spike Milligan, Claude Debussy and soprano Claron McFadden from the battlefields of the Western Front to the ongoing hostilities and truces between men and women, pausing to bury a plane somewhere in East Anglia...

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
