With the moving of Mark Radcliffe to an un-feasibly early time and 'The Sounds of the Seventies' to a ridiculously late time, my new favourite evening music show (besides 'Where's the Skill In That?', which is currently on hiatus) has become Charles Hazlewood's on BBC Radio2 on Wednesdays at 10pm. The attempt by the BBC to fill the gap left by Mr Radcliffe with tedious documentaries and one-off things has failed, with the only notable exception being this programme.
The presenter is obviously knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and tries to link many different styles of music through their similarities. It doesn't always work, but generally his insights are interesting and occasionally compelling, with good use of guests.
If it survives through to September, and isn't replaced by 'The 100 Most Interesting People I Know (In 10 Parts), Presented by Jonathan Ross', then the 2 hours from 10pm on a Wednesday (this, followed by WtSiT on Resonance) should be excellent.
