Antonia Quirke chooses her highlights from the previous seven days of 成人快手 Radio.
On Sunday's programme; smugglers and saxophones, chalk streams and a talking drum. Sinead O'Connor's tiny, yawning son and the devastating ways in which the wild promises of poetry, music and movies have seeped in and blown our minds as a species on the subject of love. Roger Moore feels sad about Trevor Howard and Frank Sinatra and an instrument maker seeks out alpine spruce to provide the best material for vibrations. Also the ascending lark and the descending prime-minister, and how to just put your lips together and blow.
