The best of BBC Radio this week with Julie Hesmondhalgh.

This week we plant little miracle seeds of hope as people learn to live with adversity, taking solace in nature and art. There’s kindness and connection found in poetry, a mesmeric journey down the river, music from Ailish Tynan and Iain Burnside, plus a powerful message from the Lockdown Theatre Festival.

From the banks of the Douglas to the Salt Path, from the camps at Calais to the streets of San Francisco, plus WH Auden as you’ve never heard him before. 

Presenter: Julie Hesmondhalgh
Producer: Stephen Garner
Production support: Ellen Orchard
Studio Manager: Tim Archer
