🎸 my documentary Changing Country Music is on @bbcworldservice this Saturday at 12pm GMT, with the brilliant @LadyNade - asking whether country music is opening up to women of colour and featuring some AMAZING guests, was a privilege 🎙

Tragic news about Michael Mosley. He was such an important figure both on and off screen in the BBC science unit, and as a mentor to many of us when we started out in science presenting. And, as many of our colleagues have already said on here, he was a genuinely lovely man. So sorry for his family. RIP Michael.

On @bbcsounds you can hear @shaunwkeaveny trying not to be wooed by Sheila Hancock… can he hold out or will she convince him to visit Provence? Find out! Your Place Or Mine https://t.co/boYPNFqEEl

"I don't think the world needs Shaun Keaveny's spirituality to be poking out anywhere"

Siobhán McSweeney loved the feeling of freedom on the Camino de Santiago. Will Shaun throw caution to the wind and join her?

Here’s how our #HayFestival has looked so far!

[BBC Radio 4 @BBCRadio4]

"There was an instinct to both ski away and go and give the polar bear a little snuggle!"

Chris loves exploring the Arctic, swimming off icebergs and encountering polar bears. Shaun's spirit animal is more grizzly bear but he attempts to dig up his spirit of adventure.

On @BBCRadio4 - Your Place or Mine - I try to convince Shaun Keaveny to come Rio de Janeiro with me.

Can Shaun be persuaded to become the Boy from Ipanema? Or to shake his stuff at Carnival? I think he’s made for it.

Being a guest on a show you’re a huge fan of is the best way of spending an afternoon…far better than an arctic poo fog.

The hustle of Mumbai I think is the thing that attracts @itsanitarani most, while it is the very thing that makes me want to hide in a cool hotel room. Will the chaos attract @shaunwkeaveny to spend his holiday money in this historic city? @BBCSounds https://t.co/b9jZVEUoqt

[BBC Radio 4 @BBCRadio4]

"If I ever get my own scent, you know it's going to be 'Peat by Shaun'"

In this edition of Your Place or Mine, @StephenMangan is determined to take @shaunwkeaveny and @iszi_lawrence to his ancestral homeland, but will he prevail?

@CalSleeper London to Glasgow

[Caitlin Hobbs @Chobbs7]

@CalSleeper is your sleeper service running this evening? I had an email saying my reservation in the seated carriage was cancelled?

[Caitlin Hobbs @Chobbs7]

@CalSleeper Seat 07L

[Caitlin Hobbs @Chobbs7]

@CalSleeper No just a bunk with bed

[Caitlin Hobbs @Chobbs7]

@CalSleeper So are there seats but no bunks? Or not possible to travel on the train at all?

[Caitlin Hobbs @Chobbs7]

@CalSleeper Does that mean the train isn’t running at all? Or that the bunk isn’t available?

[Caitlin Hobbs @Chobbs7]

@CalSleeper Yes

[Caitlin Hobbs @Chobbs7]

@CalSleeper 2877867738 thanks

Sad to learn that Benjamin Zephaniah has died. He was always so kind and generous to me... to so very many people.

Loved making this with Benjamin.

This is the first year in 12 years that a woman (@laineywilson) was named the #CMAawards entertainer of the year. Since 1967, only 16% of the winners have been women. Kinda hard for women to win when country radio avoids playing them back-to-back. https://t.co/b7wZgdkaVZ
