麻豆约拍

The best of 麻豆约拍 Radio this week chosen by John Waite

On this week's Pick of the Week, as we approach the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy, John Waite hears how the conspiracy theories that still surround his death were started just minutes after he was killed - and by the man who would replace him, Vice-President Lyndon Johnson. There are more "what-ifs" on the programme in a play that asks - what would have happened to the Beatles - and to modern music - if they'd failed their audition with George Martin? Also, could Robbie Williams have been a poet rather than a song-writer? Judge for yourself when Britain's most successful solo artist turns to verse.
