A magazine show covering African development issues hosted by Sonny Decker. This week: What is Colonial (Wildlife) Conservation, or what is referred to as "the dark side of (wildlife) conservation"?

Reg Hall and Kevin Sheils (on alternate weeks) present an informed and judicious selection of recordings of traditional musics from Britain, Ireland and occasionally further afield. This week: a selection sung by traditional singers from Britain and Ireland of songs that folk scene favourite, the revival singer Martin Carthy chose to record his own versions of on his seventh and eighth albums. [Repeats Monday 12pm.]

A Baedeker tour of international musical curiosities from the 78rpm era with Oliver Carter-Wakefield. This week: Wilhelmite Germany’s foremost professional whistler, a fugitive republican dissident who established one of Philadelphia’s leading Irish dance orchestras, a history lesson from an ironically named calypsonian and a surprisingly relevant lament about small town American dry laws. With music by Isham Jones, Tiny Parham, Edmund Jenkins, the Leake County Revellers and Le Jazz de Paris. [Repeats Friday 2pm.]
