Broadcaster John Waite picks the best of BBC Radio this week.

Broadcaster John Waite makes his pick of the best of BBC Radio this week.

Broadcaster John Waite takes us on a journey to the arctic circle, where we encounter the ancient tradition of throat singing and uncover the fate of a lost ship and its crew.  There's the art conservator who reveals Van Gogh's true colours;  fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier gives us a couple of pointers on how he designed Madonna's famous cone shaped bra;  Daljit Nagra on the power of poetry to dispel loneliness; learning to face a new challenge in later life, and why instead of believing in God, we're loving angels instead.

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