Shahidha Bari

Shahidha Bari presents a weekly selection of the best bits of audio across the BBC.

This week, as always there’s radio mishaps and mayhem as well as some memorable moments to be found on Radio 4. Over on Radio 3, Scottish musician Colin MacIntyre takes us to Mull in the search for island music, and Elizabeth Alker takes us even further afield - to the moon, in fact. Plus, there’s a fairytale or two being spun, like a retelling of Cinderella in Jazz Age America with the help of Helena Bonham Carter; meanwhile the Moomins find themselves in a spot of peril from an errant (but fashionable) piece of headgear.
