In my humble opinion, Radio 3 is the most radical FM station in the UK. It has no advertisers to suck up to, and it’s not trying to grab the biggest audience share, and as such it can afford to go completely leftfield on a regular basis.
If you love good music from around the world, then it’s completely necessary to listen to Late Junction (Monday – Thursday, 10:15PM to midnight), alternately presented by Fiona Talkington and Verity Sharp. They dedicate themselves to searching out the very best in music from around the world. Playlists go up on the website quite quickly, and pretty much all of the music played is available to buy.
Also Mixing It (Fridays 10:15PM to midnight) is a wonderfully eclectic mix of music chosen by Mark Russell and Robert Sandall. It’s great to hear them deconstruct a piece of banging techno, followed by some world music of outstanding beauty, followed again by some unlistenable electronica. As one listener wrote in: “Stop playing music for deranged clowns to listen to while they murder you in your sleep.”
Also Radio 3 does the usual classical, baroque and opera etc., but unlike Classic FM, you don’t feel like you’re at the dentists.
