Poet Kate Fox picks the best of BBC Radio.

Poet Kate Fox makes her pick from the best of BBC Radio.

In Pick of the Week poet Kate Fox takes a trip down memory lane from one of the scariest films ever made, to the 1986 of the Challenger disaster and Halley's Comet. There's recollections of people and landscapes from a motorbiking trip from Orkney to New Zealand, and on the way we encounter human jellyfish, and learn the buzz you can get from beekeeping. And if you'll allow an extension of the simile, there's also a stroll up Liberty Street, past people who are getting their kit off with joy and abandon, and a hostile encounter with Noel Edmonds. Finally we saunter to storytelling island where young people have beat the odds in Newcastle, a father and son say goodbye via the medium of Test Match Special, and the World Service pays tribute to the former UN secretary-general, Kofi Annan.

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