Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú National Short Story Award Shortlist, Protest Song, How to listen to jazz
Chair of judges Nikki Bedi joins Front Row to reveal the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú National Short Story Award.
A celebration of the short story as chair of judges Nikki Bedi joins Front Row to reveal the 2019 Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú National Short Story Award with Cambridge University and we hear from the first shortlisted author.
Steve Knightley, half of the popular duo Show of Hands, has teamed up with historian Michael Wood to celebrate one of England’s great musical traditions - songs of social protest. In the year of the Peterloo anniversary, they explore songs from the Peasants' Revolt right up to the present day. Steve performs live.
And do you know how to listen to jazz, to understand and enjoy it? Stig Abell doesn't - so he joins trumpeter Andy Davies at Ronnie Scott's in London for enlightenment.
