The best of BBC Radio this week with Cathy FitzGerald.

This was the week the UN Secretary General decided the threats ranged against us were so bad, he invented a fifth horseman of the apocalypse to describe them. So as it gallops across the globe, there seems like no better time to seek comfort, solace, or at least mild distraction with the week’s highlights. There’ll be sad bits, we can’t lie – but the tender kind that remind you we’re all in this together. And in between, our bumper radio harvest includes pub singalongs, pyrotechnical opera arias, stone age get togethers, acid house raves, country hikes… and a deliciously ghostly hotel.

Presenter: Cathy FitzGerald
