Fog Cast
[Repeated from Wednesday 11pm.] A series of late-night, deep listening soundtracks hosted by Robin The Fog. Tonight, Robin presents a special edition celebrating the work of pioneering composer and musique concrète legend Éliane Radigue, who has died this week at the age of 94. While there is no way we could even begin to encapsulate the wondrous, slow-burning innovation of her series of long-form works within the confines of a single show, perhaps the greatest tribute any of us can pay to this unique figure in 20th century music is to just stop everything for a single hour and listen deeply. Originally broadcast on 26th January 2022 on the occasion of her 90th birthday, now repeated in memoriam. 'Slowness is expansive yet it allows us to hear up close.'

Arty Facts
Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today, Master J is joined again by Welsh violinist Phillip Morgan — classically trained, former leader of the West Glamorgan Youth Orchestra, a National Youth Orchestra alum and a touring player with ensembles, who somehow finds time between busking and weddings to be the world’s most polite traffic law expert. This show is less about arpeggios and more about appeals. Phillip reflects on Bach, Beethoven and bus lanes. We hear about his 15 years of fighting incorrectly issued parking and driving fines on behalf of beleaguered motorists (including the £160 ticket Master J received during his Christmas tour). We delve into the occasions where Phillip’s persistence uncovered administrative errors costing councils millions of pounds in refunds. And we find out what councils get wrong, why they get it wrong, and which ones don't defend appeals and why. For more information visit Master J on Facebook. [Repeats Friday 3.30pm.]
