The best of BBC Radio this week with Johny Pitts.

Johny Pitts is off on a journey this bank holiday weekend, but he won’t be sticking to the usual tourist trail.

His route includes stories, music and poetry from across the world - from the streets of Sheffield to the barrios of Puerto Rico, the plantations of Jamaica, and the council estates of London.

There's classic drama from Lee Hall, Linton Kwesi-Johnson as music ‘selecta’, Phil Wang with the laughs and Karen McKarthy Wolf with the poetry.

Produced by: Cecile Wright

Production support: Vanessa Ford & Stephen Garner

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