BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, Jon Holmes

A selection of highlights from the past week on BBC radio

Jon Holmes, creator and producer of Radio 4’s scathing satirical soundscape The Skewer, travel writer and licensed drone pilot chooses his highlights from the past week on BBC Radio and BBC Sounds. He ascends with the lark to the music of Vaughan Williams, joins Alexei Sayle on a train, and gets a huge surprise to discover that Elgar wrote heavy metal music. He takes a walk with Aaron Sorkin, and goes back in time to the TV themes of his childhood. And he shares the moving moments as a fellow BBC Radio presenter says an emotional goodbye to his Mum.

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