Kieran Hodgson's Earworms Series 1
Episode 4 of 4

Kieran Hodgson as the inspirator 'Ralph Lewis' introduces us to Schnittke's music. With Georgie Glen and Colin Hoult. From 2017.

Can self-described 'music educator and inspiration' Ralph Lewis (the man behind ''Tchaikovsky Abs Blast' or 'Holst for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔless') persuade self-confessed 'enemy of culture' Paul, that Schnittke's worth a listen?

Critically-acclaimed comedian Kieran Hodgson - as Ralph Lewis - presents comedy intros to the great composers.

Written by and starring Kieran Hodgson.

With:

Colin Hoult
Georgie Glen

Producer: Sam Ward

A Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Studios production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4, first broadcast in August 2017.
