I have loved these episodes by Karine so much, it felt like being introduced to Al Beck and his family and so much of the music that was important to him. I confess I shed some tears and visited a lot of the music mentioned. Thank you so much for this moving series of essays.

Where might I find the series of essays recently referenced; ==> “Composers and Their Dogs” I’ve searched everywhere and failed to find them. Thanks in advance. A VERY loyal listener from Canada.

Just to echo others comments here. Downloads!!! Sometimes they work, sometimes not. Is it a dev problem? Whatever it is, can you sort it out please. Ta

It’s a year on, and the downloads have shuddered to a halt again, which is a shame, as it’s so good. This is what I wrote in 2022: ‘I am missing this terrific programme in my downloads - the last was 15th June, and there are plenty of programmes listed on the R3 website. Any thoughts?’

Brilliant writing enhanced through narration that never sounds forced or scripted. Another great one from the BBC!

Have somebody who lives in Breakland and I thought today’s essay about the churches was really interesting. Would highly recommend this podcast to anybody I listen to it while I’m walking the dog through the flat Sandylands that are Breckland. PS I really hope he visited our lovely church weeting

Intrusive ads have ruined the experience of listening to these delightful essays

This is one of my favorite podcasts, but now the episodes won’t download to my iPad. Is there a problem?

It feels like my days are built around the BBC and your podcasts, the essay being my favourite to relax to. If I could fit more of them into my day I would. Keep doing great work all of you.
