BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, Julie Hesmondhalgh

Julie Hesmondhalgh chooses audio highlights from the past week.

This week, Julie Hesmondhalgh provides an audible antidote to what might feel All Too Well like a Cruel Summer, so prepare to Shake It Off. We hear about the measurable seismic power of Taylor Swift, follow a group of teenagers living without their smartphones for a week and celebrate midwinter in the frozen south. Throughout, we explore better ways to connect and communicate across cultures, and through culture, ask “is peace possible?” With such a wide mix of choices, are you... Ready For It?

Presenter: Julie Hesmondhalgh
Producer: Anthony McKee and Elizabeth Foster
Production Co-ordinator: Pete Liggins

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