Björn Ulvaeus from ABBA Guest Edits Today

News and current affairs, with stories chosen by our guest editor, ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus

Our guest editor today is Björn Ulvaeus from ABBA, the Swedish supergroup who came to fame in the UK when they won the Eurovision song contest in Brighton in 1974. They have more recently found a whole new generation of fans after being recreated as avatars for ABBA Voyage.

Björn used his guest edit to talk about democracy, AI, streaming and music. His programme features interviews with the author Yuval Noah Harari, the head of Eurovision Martin Österdahl and Dave Stewart from Eurythmics.

Our guest editor was also keen to speak to one of the judges from the 1974 UK jury for the Eurovision song contest. The UK gave Sweden nul points. The Today programme team found a jury member for Björn to speak to.

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