Dis-labled
[Repeated from Tuesday 2.30pm.] Barnet's inclusive arts centre Community Focus presents weekly recordings from its Dis-labled programme. This week: Why do we listen to music? Why can one song feel like home, while another takes us straight back to a moment in time? In this episode, we're talking about music – the songs we love, the genres that shape us and the tracks that help us focus, lift our mood, and say what we can't put into words. From comfort songs to full-volume sing-alongs, we're sharing how music fits into our everyday lives. Click here for a playlist of our favourite songs to accompany this episode. All enquiries: admin@communityfocus.co.uk. For more information visit www.communityfocus.co.uk.

The Workplace
[Repeated from Tuesday 11.00am.] NND and guests discuss all aspects of work and workplaces. This week: in the penultimate episode in the Women’s History Month 2026 series, NND discusses Women, Power and The Workplace (Part 1), with PhD researcher Su Michelli who discusses her thesis statement which investigates how having a voice at work does not necessarily correlate with being heard, as she explores how authority is recognised and how some contributions are taken on board while others are not. When feminist research indicates that women are more likely to be interrupted, have their ideas overlooked or be judged differently for the same behaviours as men, can everyone really participate on equal terms in the workplace given how their contributions are received? What is the difference between having a voice at work and actually being heard? What happens to speech after it is spoken and how does all of this relate to credibility and recognition? We explore these issues along with the concepts of uptake (whether communication registers with the listener as intended) and relational autonomy (environmental shape-shifting and its impact on communication). Part 1 of 2. Download select episodes from the podcast and continue the discussion using #workplacennd.

Arty Facts
[Repeated from Sunday 1.30pm.] Arty Facts with Master J is a show about working in the arts. Today, Master J is joined by musical theatre actor Karen Holmes, The Viagra Fools lead singer Steve e Blunder and comedy musician Mike Martin for the final instalment of rehearsal recordings from the 2021 musical, It’s a Boy. These recordings capture the songs at their most vulnerable — before confidence, competence, or basic coordination have had a chance creep into their performances. Each shambolic attempt is followed by the far more presentable studio versions laid down afterwards. Hear Master J take to the piano for an alternate rendition of Carrying the One with Karen, alongside the debut outings and eventual recoveries of I Want to Be In, I’m Just Working for the Man, and Hey Little God. Expect enthusiasm, volume, a lack of musical integrity and a group of people determined to see things through to the end. If you’ve followed the series this far, this is your reward - our promise there won't be any more episodes! For more information visit Master J on Facebook.

Clear Spot
And then you hear your heartbeat. Biliana Voutchkova - composition, violin, voice, organ, field recordings and objects. "And then you hear your heartbeat was recorded in August-September 2024 at Los Leones Canyon, Villa Aurora premises and surroundings. The work is conceived through field recordings from the Villa Aurora premises - the garden, courtyard, salon - its surroundings, and moments of direct connection to the soundscapes through voicing, playing the violin and in-house organ, small bells and objects. Its spine is a walk through the Los Leones Canyon: a loop from Villa Aurora to the canyon, the beachfront, and back, echoing Marta Feuchtwanger's daily route. Along the walk I recorded brief descriptions and passing thoughts, later weaving these fragments with the surrounding sounds, instrumental and field recordings, and the shifting atmosphere of moving through these mental spaces and landscapes. This is a poetic essay shaped by memory, attention, and conscious communication with a constant reality - one in which I am a passer-by”. Visit http://www.bilianavoutchkova.net.

Modulisme
Modulisme (which translates as Modularism) is devoted to out of leftfield modular synthesis. This week: David Lee Myers is an American artist releasing music under the name Arcane Device. He has spent decades exploring feedback not as an effect, but as a primary material, a living system that thinks, reacts and evolves. His electronic music is built from feedback loops that are carefully set in motion, then allowed to behave. Sound feeds back into itself, mutates, thickens, destabilises. Control is never total.
