In this monthly episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas returns with his August edition of What's On in London — and this one comes with a personal twist, because Jonathan will be in London himself later in the month. August is London's most contradictory month: the busiest tourist season of the year, a million-plus visitors, packed attractions and carnival streets — and yet simultaneously the month when Londoners themselves flee to Cornwall and France, leaving whole districts strangely quiet. Jonathan covers it all: the Notting Hill Carnival (August 30–31, its 60th anniversary this year, Europe's largest street festival, free entry); the major royal and historic building openings including Buckingham Palace State Rooms, Houses of Parliament summer tours, and the freshly restored Banqueting House reopening August 1st; London's brand new museum, Trent Park House of Secrets — just opened July 21st, telling the extraordinary wartime spy story that was kept under the Official Secrets Act for over 50 years; new West End openings including Jane Eyre the Musical and Kimberly Akimbo; the blockbuster exhibitions still running and closing this month; live music at Victoria Park and Wembley; family-friendly highlights; the VAT tourist discount reducing admission prices across major attractions this summer; and Jonathan's own personal list of what he's booked and planning to see — including the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace's East Wing tour, the Wallace Collection's Churchill as Painter exhibition, and Trent Park.

The Saturday Steel Band Competition (August 29) requires a ticket; Sunday Children's Day and Monday main parade are free. Arrive early, follow your nose to the food stalls, and keep your wits about you in the crowds. Trent Park House of Secrets — London's brand new museum, opened July 21st — tells the extraordinary story of the WWII intelligence operation where 59 captured German generals were housed in apparent luxury, never knowing the entire house was bugged. Often called "the other Bletchley Park." Tickets are £14 (~$20), open Tuesday–Sunday, and it's on the Piccadilly Line at Oakwood station. Jonathan is going. Buckingham Palace State Rooms are open daily through August 31, 9:30am to 7:30pm — the longest opening hours of the season. Jonathan has booked both the State Rooms tour and the newly opened East Wing tour. If you haven't booked yet, check for remaining availability immediately; the best slots are gone but cancellations do appear. Banqueting House on Whitehall — Inigo Jones's 1622 masterpiece with its Rubens ceiling, the building outside which Charles I was executed — reopens fully on August 1st after a major restoration. Adults £10, under 16s free, open Thursday–Monday. New lift for step-free access. One of London's most underrated experiences. The Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London — the world's oldest unbroken military ceremony, performed every night for at least 700 years — releases the next month's tickets on the first working day of each month. The next release is August 3rd at 1pm. Jonathan got a ticket; it requires an early wake-up and sells out within hours of release. The UK government has instituted a 15% VAT discount on tourist attraction admissions this summer — which means lower prices at major London attractions. If you booked in advance, you may be entitled to a partial refund for the difference; check with each venue. Lower prices also means slightly larger crowds. The Greenwich + Docklands International Festival runs August 21 to September 6 — 17 days of completely free outdoor theatre, circus and dance across Greenwich Park, Woolwich, and the Docklands. The two-day Greenwich Fair on August 22–23 in Greenwich Park is the unmissable centerpiece. No ticket required — just show up. Several major exhibitions close on or around August 23rd — a critical date. Zurbarán at the National Gallery, Fairy Tales at the British Library, David Hockney at the Royal Academy, Hervien Anderson at Tate Britain, and Patrick Caulfield at the Royal Academy all close that day. If you're arriving after August 23rd, these are gone. The BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall run all month and into September — the world's largest classical music festival, with day-of standing tickets potentially available on the door. Jonathan hasn't managed to go yet and still wants to. It's worth trying even if you can't book ahead. August in London is genuinely two cities at once: over a million tourists fill the attractions and the carnival streets, while large swaths of residential London go quiet as locals escape. The wise visitor uses this: the tourist attractions are busy, but the parks, the residential neighborhoods, and the early mornings are surprisingly peaceful. Soundbites "August is London's most contradictory month. Every guidebook tells you it's peak season — and every guidebook is right. And yet at exactly the same time, London kind of empties out. Locals flee to Cornwall, to France, to anywhere that isn't a stuffy office in a heat wave. Whole districts can go completely quiet." — Jonathan on August's strange duality. "The Notting Hill Carnival is that one weekend where London's multicultural and diverse character — which can feel oddly invisible at other times of the year — is front and center. It's loud. It's joyful. And it's entirely free." — Jonathan on why the carnival matters. "They captured high-level German officers and put them all in one place. What the prisoners didn't know was that the entire house was wired with microphones. And hidden in a concealed basement, around a hundred secret listeners — many of them German-speaking Jewish refugees who had fled the Nazis — were recording and transcribing every careless word." — Jonathan on Trent Park House of Secrets. "I have wanted to go inside Buckingham Palace for twenty years. I'm finally doing it this year. I've got my tickets booked. I'm going to do the State Room tour, I'm going to see the freshly rehung picture gallery, and I've booked the East Wing tour. That is going to take a whole Saturday. I cannot wait." — Jonathan on his long-awaited Buckingham Palace visit. "The Ceremony of the Keys is considered the world's longest military ceremony. They say it's been running for a thousand years — I'm skeptical, but at least as long as there's been a Tower of London. I woke up early and managed to snag a ticket before they sold out. Because they do sell out immediately." — Jonathan on booking the Ceremony of the Keys. "Banqueting House. Inigo Jones's masterpiece on Whitehall, with its Rubens ceiling. The one surviving fragment of the old Palace of Whitehall — the very spot where Charles I was executed in 1649. It reopens for the summer on August 1st. That is a lot of history in one place." — Jonathan on Banqueting House reopening. "The government has instituted a fifteen percent discount off the twenty percent VAT for tourists visiting tourist attractions this summer. So this month you will see lower prices at all of London's major tourist attractions. And if you booked in advance, you should be getting a refund." — Jonathan on the summer VAT tourist discount. "I love Star Trek. I have seen every episode of Star Trek dozens of times. You can't see over there, but I'm building the LEGO Enterprise D model right now. And I'm going to go see this exhibition because it's the 60th anniversary and the producers don't seem to want to celebrate it much — but everybody else is." — Jonathan on his plan to visit the Star Trek at 60 Trail at the Science Museum. "Several things close on August 23rd. I'm arriving after August 23rd. So I'm going to miss the David Hockney, the Zurbarán, the Tracey Emin. It's a bit annoying. But it is what it is." — Jonathan on the painful August 23rd exhibition closing cliff. "If you see a slightly sun-birthed Anglophile wandering the food stalls at one of the festivals going on later in August — do say hello. It might just be me." — Jonathan's closing invitation.

Days before his BBC Proms appearance marking 50 years since the death of Benjamin Britten, cellist Guy Johnston talks candidly about his career, his influences, and his preparation for performance.

John Wilson is one of Britain's foremost conductors, dubbed “the most exciting British conductor since Simon Rattle” by The Sunday Times, he has devoted more than 30 years to painstakingly restoring and recreating the original orchestrations of MGM's greatest musicals after the studio's entire music library was destroyed in 1969. His reconstructions of scores for films including The Wizard of Oz, Singin' in the Rain and An American in Paris have brought these classics back to the concert hall exactly as they were heard on screen. Founder of the internationally acclaimed John Wilson Orchestra and Music Director of Sinfonia of London, he has conducted many of the world's leading orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. A regular at the BBC Proms and the recipient of a prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Award, his recordings and performances have earned widespread acclaim, establishing him as one of today's leading interpreters of both classic film music and the great orchestral repertoire.John Wilson is our guest in episode 594 of My Time Capsule and he chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he'd like to preserve and one he'd like to bury and never have to think about again .Buy tickets for John Wilson's The Golden Age of Hollywood at the Edinburgh International Festival 2026, here https://www.eif.co.uk/events/the-golden-age-of-hollywood .Visit our website! - https://mytimecapsulepodcast.com .Follow My Time Capsule on Instagram: @mytimecapsulepodcast & Twitter/X & Facebook: @MyTCpod .Follow Michael Fenton Stevens on Twitter/X: @fentonstevens & Instagram @mikefentonstevens .Produced and edited by John Fenton-Stevens for Cast Off Productions .Music by Pass The Peas Music .Artwork by matthewboxall.com .This podcast is proud to be associated with the charity Viva!

What impact do hormones have on women with ADHD? A pioneering study by Kings College and Queen Mary University in London is putting the link to the test, by asking 50 women who are medicated for their ADHD to track their menstrual cycle. Report academic Dr Jessica Agnew-Blais and Laura Mears-Reynolds from the charity ADHDAF+ join presenter Nuala McGovern to discuss why the research matters.This weekend Dalia Stasevska conducted the first night of the BBC Proms. The Finnish-Ukrainian Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra also has a new album, Ukrainian Mixtape, recorded with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, showcasing rarely heard works. Dalia joins presenter Anita Rani to discuss her route into conducting and her passion for Ukrainian music.New analysis in The Economist suggests that, after years of progress, fewer women are reaching executive positions and there may also be signs that younger women are becoming less interested in promotion. Nuala speaks to the author of that report, Vinjeru Mkandawire, and Sanchia Neilson who left an executive role to rebalance her life.Australian surf and fashion photographer Cait Miers is photographing 1,000 women globally, bare-faced, for a project she has called Laugh Lines. Anita talks to Cait about her mission to challenge beauty standards and also Alexis Zahner, one of the first women to be photographed for the project.Actor Sarah Hadland will be a familiar face to many, having played numerous roles over the years, but is probably best known as Stevie in the BAFTA-nominated sitcom Miranda. Currently on stage in London's West End, she joins Nuala to discuss her latest role as Alice in The Truth, a fast-paced comedy of infidelity and duplicity.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Kirsty McQuire

This week’s guest is the Finnish-Ukrainian conductor Dalia Stasevska. Her new ‘Ukrainian Mixtape’, just out from Platoon, showcases four Ukrainian composers – Levko Kolodub, Borys Liatoshynsky, Fedir Yakymenko and Mykola Lysenko – for which she’s joined by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, of which she’s Principal Guest Conductor. James Jolly spoke to her last week by Zoom from her home in Finland about the new album, but also about the First Night of the BBC Proms which finds her and the BBC Symphony Orchestra on the stage of the Royal Albert Hall. You can catch Dalia Stasevska, with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, at the First Night of the Proms in all the usual places – live at the Royal Albert Hall, and also on BBC Radio 3, BBC 2 TV and on the BBC iPlayer at 7pm on July 17.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New research from the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse suggests one in five girls and one in ten boys experience sexual abuse during childhood. Yet the organisation says only a fraction of those children are ever identified by professionals. We discuss the findings with the Centre's Deputy Director, Anna Glinski, and ask why so many children are still being missed.The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has worked with female athletes to develop new guidelines that aim to avoid sexualising the action with unnecessary camera angles. UK Athletics President Denise Lewis and Danielle Sellwood, sports documentary maker, gives us their thoughts. AI ethicist Dr Eleanor Drage discusses her new book What If We Got AI Right? and why putting women at the centre of artificial intelligence could help create a fairer future.Tomorrow night Dalia Stasevska will open the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, the biggest night in classical music. Dalia is the Finnish-Ukrainian Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Away from the podium, she's become one of the fiercest champions of Ukrainian composers and her new album Ukrainian Mixtape, recorded with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, showcases rarely heard works. Dalia joins Anita to discuss what we can expect from the first night of BBC Proms, her passion for conducting, and Ukrainian music.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Simon Richardson

In this monthly bonus episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, Jonathan Thomas returns with the July edition of What's On in London — a complete rundown of everything worth seeing and doing in the city this month. July is London at its most extroverted: Wimbledon fever, the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, British Summertime at Hyde Park, open-air cinema across the city, and a remarkable cluster of new exhibitions opening across the major galleries. Particularly special this month are three America 250 exhibitions viewing the American Revolution from the British side — at the National Archives, the British Museum, and Benjamin Franklin's only surviving house anywhere in the world, just around the corner from Trafalgar Square. Jonathan also covers the ongoing blockbusters already running from June, gives an honest assessment of London's July heat wave (currently under a red weather warning), shares a firsthand account from an Anglotopia friend who was in the city during the worst of it, and walks through the practical survival tips that will make your summer visit not just manageable but genuinely wonderful. Links New Exhibitions — July Richard Dadd at the Royal Academy of Arts (from July 1) Young Artist Summer Show, Royal Academy (from July 14 — Free) Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller Landscapes, National Gallery (from July 2 — Free) Anna Mendieta at Tate Modern In Other Worlds by Liam Young, Barbican (from July 15) Audrey Amis at the Wellcome Collection (from July 9) Art as Witness: The Lying in State of Queen Elizabeth II, Westminster Hall (from July 13) America 250 Exhibitions Revolution 250: America's Independence Story, National Archives (open now — Free) Declaring Independence: USA 250, British Museum (from June 30 — Free) How We Lost America, Benjamin Franklin House (from July 3) Ongoing Exhibitions from June Frida Kahlo & Tracey Emin at Tate Modern Anish Kapoor Retrospective, Hayward Gallery Royal Academy Summer Exhibition Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art at the V&A Zurbarán at the National Gallery James McNeill Whistler at Tate Britain Marilyn Monroe at the National Portrait Gallery The Queen's Fashion at The King's Gallery (sold out through 2026 — now extended into 2027, book ahead) Inside Aardman: Wallace & Gromit at Young V&A Major Events Wimbledon 2026 BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall (from mid-July) British Summertime at Hyde Park Open Air Cinema — Somerset House, Rooftop Film Club, Regent's Park Buckingham Palace State Rooms Summer Opening (late July) (likely sold out — check for returns) Houses of Parliament Tours (July/August recess) Practical Resources Londontopia London Events Calendar TfL Tube Map — Which Lines Have Air Conditioning Refill App — Free Water Refill Points Across London Ken Burns American Revolution Documentary — PBS Passport Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways July is London at its most spectacular and its most demanding — maximum daylight (sunrise before 5am, sunset after 9pm), world-class events, longer museum hours, and beautiful golden evening light, but also peak crowds, peak prices, and the very real possibility of an extreme heat wave. Three once-in-a-lifetime America 250 exhibitions are open this July, all viewing the American Revolution from the British side: the National Archives has George Washington's handwritten letter accepting the British surrender at Yorktown and an original copy of the 1783 Treaty of Paris; the British Museum has four key objects from the Revolution; and Benjamin Franklin's only surviving house anywhere in the world is hosting "How We Lost America" from July 3. Richard Dadd at the Royal Academy (from July 1) is the most compelling new exhibition of the month — a rare survey of the brilliant Victorian painter who created hauntingly intricate fairy scenes while confined to an asylum after killing his father in a psychotic episode. The red weather warning heat wave currently affecting Britain is not a reason to cancel a trip, but it does require preparation: buy a fan on arrival (from Boots, Superdrug, Marks & Spencer, or a corner shop), carry a refillable water bottle, avoid the Central, Bakerloo, Northern, and Piccadilly tube lines during the heat, and use the air-conditioned Elizabeth line instead. During an extreme heat wave, even well-equipped venues can be forced to close galleries — one Anglotopia friend visiting recently reported that parts of the British Museum had to shut because industrial fans couldn't bring temperatures down, and visitors were fainting. Have a backup plan for every attraction. The Art as Witness exhibition at Westminster Hall (from July 13) — gathering official artworks made to record Queen Elizabeth II's lying in state in September 2022 — is a quietly moving, freely accessible display in one of the oldest buildings in London, and is worth combining with a Houses of Parliament tour during the summer recess. The BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, running from mid-July straight through August, offers some of the most affordable classical music in London — from Bach to brand new compositions — with tickets potentially still available for some concerts. The Queen's Fashion exhibition at The King's Gallery is now extended into 2027 — if you're visiting next spring, book now, as it continues to sell out in advance. Jonathan's honest verdict: July is the right month if you love outdoor events, maximum daylight, world-class exhibitions, and big set-piece British occasions like Wimbledon, and you're comfortable with higher prices and significant crowds. It's the wrong month if you want contemplative museums, budget hotels, relaxed restaurant booking, or the tube to feel bearable without the Elizabeth line. Tucked between every crowded attraction, there is still a quieter London in July — in tree-lined squares, along the Thames at dusk, in church gardens, in early-morning side streets before the tour groups arrive. Walk slowly, sit in the parks, get to the pub before the evening rush, and the city reveals itself. Soundbites "July is London at its most extroverted, most expensive, and most crowded — and honestly its most beautiful. The city is showing off, and you can either love that or find it exhausting. There really is no middle ground." — Jonathan's honest verdict on July in London. "Richard Dadd created these hauntingly intricate fairy scenes like the Fairy Feller's Master Stroke — while he was confined to an asylum after he killed his father in a psychotic episode. So that's like, this guy already sounds really interesting." — Jonathan on the Royal Academy's most compelling new show. "The National Archives has a handwritten letter signed by George Washington accepting the British surrender at Yorktown. They have an actual copy of the 1783 Treaty of Paris. You're going to be seeing some of the most famous documents that are really founding documents for us — from the British side." — Jonathan on the National Archives America 250 exhibition. "Benjamin Franklin spent something like 20 to 30 years living in London. And his only remaining house that he ever lived in is in London, just around the corner from Trafalgar Square. They're hosting a witty and thought-provoking exhibition called 'How We Lost America' — a British perspective on the Revolution, told in the very house where Franklin spent years trying to hold both sides together." — Jonathan on the Benjamin Franklin House. "The temperature climbed to about 98 degrees on their last day and it genuinely curtailed their plans. Walking the sun-drenched pavements and riding the crowded tube became, in their words, a bit debilitating — especially as they were senior travelers. In an extreme heat event, the heat doesn't just make you uncomfortable. It can quietly eat your itinerary." — Jonathan sharing a firsthand heat wave account from an Anglotopia friend. "The first thing you should do when you land and you've checked into your hotel is go to a local ironmonger or hardware store and get a fan. Buy a fan. You will need a fan. Buy two fans. You'll have two fans. Be in a wind tunnel." — Jonathan's number one heat wave survival tip. "The light is a secret superpower of July travel in London. That long golden evening light makes every gray building glow. Yes, it's hot. Yes, it's crowded — but the city looks absolutely beautiful at 8pm with a cold glass of something in your hand." — Jonathan on why July evenings in London are worth it. "Even though the British Museum has air conditioning, some of the galleries had to shut because they couldn't bring the temperature down even with industrial fans — and they mentioned visitors fainting from the heat. If you're building a trip around a specific thing you want to see during a heat wave, have a backup." — Jonathan on extreme heat and museum closures. "Sun rises before 5am, sets after 9pm. It's glorious if you love long evenings — maddening if you want to sleep in. But you're in London. Why waste time sleeping?" — Jonathan on July's extraordinary daylight hours. "Walk slowly, sit in the parks, go to the pub early before the evening rush. The city is jammed with people but it's also jammed with possibility.

In Episode 55, Ella chats with Michael Beek: writer, journalist, and Director of the London Soundtrack Festival. Michael has worked in and around film and TV music for more than twenty years, interviewing some of the industry's most important composers, writing album sleeve notes for major labels and programme notes for the likes of the BBC Proms and the Royal Albert Hall. He was previously BBC Music Magazine's Reviews Editor and Editor of musicfromthemovies.com. Ahead of his first London Soundtrack Festival - now in its second year - he talks about 'accidentally' building a career from his greatest passion, meeting and interviewing John Williams, the flourishing of film music concerts, and mistakes that still make him cringe many years later...The London Soundtrack Festival is the capital's very first festival dedicated to celebrating the music of film, TV and games. Running from 9-12 April, this year's festival takes place in the city's biggest cultural venues - the Barbican, Cadogan Hall, Central Hall Westminster - with a fantastic line-up of talent including David Arnold, Rachel Portman, John Lunn and Julian Nott.-------------------London Soundtrack Festival 2026-------------------Follow The Classical Circuit on InstagramDid you enjoy this episode?

Iran has a new Supreme Leader, the hard-line cleric, Mojtaba Khamenei, who has succeeded his father who was killed on the first day of the US-Israeli war against Iran. This morning, Iran's woman's football team are facing building pressure as they prepare to leave Australia's Gold Coast after being eliminated from the Asian Cup on Sunday. Fears for their safety has been growing since they failed to sing the national anthem ahead of their first match against South Korea last week. The decision prompted fierce criticism within Iran and in subsequent matches the players sung, or at least mouthed, the anthem's words. Katy Watson, the BBC's Sydney correspondent, is on the Gold Coast where the tournament is being held and talks to Nuala McGovern about what's been happening. There has been a surge of understanding about the menopause and we are better informed on many aspects. However three quarters of women surveyed for a YouGov poll do not know that a new mental illness can be triggered by the hormonal changes associated with the menopause. Those figures come from a YouGov poll commissioned by the Royal College of Psychiatrists. The College wants to raise awareness about mental health and menopause and the implications for clinical practice. To tell us more about why this was needed now, Nuala is joined by Dr Lade Smith, President of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. Do you have a "hassler" in your life? If so, they could be making you age faster. That's according to new research funded by the US National Institute of Aging. A third of all respondents in the study said they had at least one hassler in their life - that is someone who is creating problems and making your life harder. The study also shows that the impact on your health is worse if they are a family member. Psychotherapist and writer Lucy Cavendish explains how to deal with that difficult person in your life.The singer/songwriter Katherine Priddy played her first gig at the O2 and has since performed at the BBC Proms, and at festivals such as Glastonbury, Green Man and Cambridge Folk, where she was awarded the Christian Raphael Prize for best emerging artist. Katherine tells Nuala about her newly released third album, These Frightening Machines, and performs her track Madeline. Why do some women who commit crimes come to be seen as a definition of evil? The Moors murderer Myra Hindley became an enduring symbol of female wickedness but she is not the only one. Professor Joanna Bourke has written a new book, Five Evil Women. It looks at the fascination with these figures and finds it often reveals as much about society as it does about the crimes themselves. Joanna tells Nuala why she chose these five women and they're also joined by BBC Radio 4 New Generation Thinker, criminologist Professor Stephanie Brown.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Andrea Kidd

A trailblazer in electronic music, she developed the Oramics system, a groundbreaking method of composing sound by drawing directly onto film, allowing pitch, timbre and dynamics to be controlled visually rather than through traditional notation. Her work fundamentally reshaped ideas about how music could be created, laying the foundations for electronic composition, sound synthesis and experimental music practices that continue to influence composers, producers and sound designers today.Website: www.daphneoram.orgSarah Angliss BiogSarah Angliss is an Ivor Novello Award-winning composer, performer, and instrument designer working across film, theatre, and live performance in Europe and North America. Her work includes the electroacoustic score for Romola Garai's Amulet and the opera Giant, which combines baroque instruments with electronics and DIY music machines. Drawing on European folk, cybernetics, and electroacoustic engineering, her music explores inventive sound design. Sarah has received the Visionary Award from the Ivors Academy (2021) and a Paul Hamlyn Award for Composers (2018). She's recently joined the Augmented Instruments Lab at Imperial College, London, for researching lost alternative design strategies dormant in forgotten electronic musical instruments.Website: www.sarahangliss.comInstagram: @sarah_anglissIan Stonehouse BiogIan Stonehouse is an archivist, researcher and performer working in the Electronic Music Studios and Special Collections at Goldsmiths, University of London, with the archives of composers Daphne Oram, Lily Greenham and Hugh Davies.

Most recently he's been a research consultant and instrument maker for projects including Lily Greenham: An Art of Living at Badischer Kunstverein in Karlsruhe, Germany (2024), the Science Museum's Time Loops concert series with composer Gavin Bryars and the group Icebreaker (2024-25), Ensemble Contrechamps' Daphne Oram: An Individual Note concert at the Auditorium Ansermet in Geneva (2025), Nonclassical's Vari/ations: An Ode to Oram event at the Barbican in London (2025) and as part of an ensemble celebrating the legacy of experimental group Gentle Fire at Cafe Oto in London (2026).Bandcamp: ianstonehouse.bandcamp.comInstagram: @soonheisatuneShiva Feshareki Biog A doctoral composition graduate from the Royal College of Music, Shiva Feshareki is an Ivor Novello award-winning British-Iranian composer and turntablist, working at the intersection of contemporary-classical and electronic music.

What does it mean to make ancient music feel new again?In this episode of The Story Isn't Over, Ramblings of a Sikh sits down with sitar maestro Jasdeep Singh Degun, a Leeds-born virtuoso reshaping the soundscape of British Indian classical music.From his early training within the NADA Yatra tradition to headlining the BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall, Jasdeep reflects on the tension between tradition and innovation, growing up British Asian, and the quiet confidence it takes to reimagine classical forms on your own terms.

Since 1997, Total Energies has quietly partnered with Buskaid in Soweto, a project where young people use violins and cellos as a pathway to a brighter future. What began with borrowed office space has grown into a world-class music school, producing talented musicians who have performed for presidents, royalty, and even at the BBC Proms.

Can music help us notice nature more deeply? In this episode, Dr Leah Broad speaks to broadcaster and author Dr Hannah French about the enduring influence and legacy of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. This year is the 300th anniversary of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. It's therefore the perfect occasion for Dr Hannah French to explore the seasons as Vivaldi would have experienced them. Whether it's the song of local birds or an impending storm, Vivaldi's Four Seasons intimate relationship with nature remains a source of inspiration for many musicians, authors and artists. Once an academic and baroque flautist, Dr Hannah French now presents BBC Radio 3's Early Music Show, Saturday Breakfast Show, and live concerts including the BBC Proms. Her first book was Sir Henry Wood Champion of J.S. Bach. Her latest book is The Rolling Year: Listening to the Seasons with Vivaldi. --- If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.

The panel kicks off with VisionOS 26.1, noting Apple's suspicious lack of release notes and testing new immersive films like the MotoGP documentary, Red Bull's skiing adventures, and even a BBC Proms experience.

As the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, begins his visit to Israel, he has once again criticised the Israeli strike on Qatar. We ask whether this will bring about a policy change in Israel and how the Gulf states will react to the strike.Also in the programme, fighter jets are scrambled as Romania becomes the second NATO country to report an incursion into its airspace by a Russian drone.

The broadcaster and writer Georgia Mann has been making and presenting arts programmes at the BBC since 2008. After studying English Literature at Cambridge University, she began her career as a local BBC radio reporter before entering the arts arena of broadcasting. She has presented the BBC Proms and has said that she's “committed to getting classical music out of its traditional locations and into the lives of those who might not have experienced it before”. So with that in mind we wondered what her Inheritance Tracks would be…and, to start with, she's taking us back to school.Producer: Gareth Nelson-Davies
