Yes, today’s edition of The OST Show is dedicated entirely to music from films featuring Nuns. Of the show Jonny Trunk says, ” before you dismiss this as some cunning excuse to play The Sound Of Music, think again… Nuns have played a part in fine cinema pretty much since it all began. Think about the work of Powell And Pressburger, Pasolini, Ken Russell – there are killer nuns, slightly rude nuns and all sorts of nuns in between…” - The OST Show 4:30 –  6:30pm

In The Opera Hour –  4:00pm – Richard Scott explores opera through the prism of various themes – politics, power, greed, the abominable, magic, lust, comedy.

In Technical Difficulties  – 3:30pm – Tim Abbott and crew explore disability, this week Technical Difficulties attempts to engage with an incredibly  complex subject, suicide. Dolly Sen hosts.
