Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone - 20th Century Classical Special - BBC Sounds Stuart presents a 20th century classical special with special guest Elizabeth Alker.

Not always the biggest Freak Zone fan (a high risk of jazz) but this was a superb episode, entertaining and enlightening in equal measure. @stuartmaconie.bsky.social and @elizabethalker.bsky.social both know their (glass) onions, and it shows. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
