A Joyous Exploration of Music, guests and poetry: Prof Alice Roberts

Cerys curates the perfect eclectic Sunday Soundtrack and speaks to Professor Alice Roberts about her new book Buried.

Cerys curates the perfect eclectic Sunday Soundtrack with music spanning decades, continents and genres. There’s new music from Dave & Omar, Koffee, Sessa, Daniel Villarreal and Josephine Foster as well as classics from Avelino Muñoz, Muddy Waters and The Beach Boys.

This week, Cerys speaks to Professor Alice Roberts about her latest publication, Buried: An Alternative History of the First Millennium in Britain, in which she combines archaeological finds with cutting-edge DNA research and written history to shed fresh light on how people lived.

Electronic composer and performer Hinako Omori tells us about her process of reimaging The Lark Ascending – a fresh take on Ralph Vaughan Williams' popular piece, celebrating 150 years since his birth. Cerys has an exclusive preview of the piece which was commissioned by Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3.
