THIS CULTURAL LIFE - 132. ALICIA VIKANDER (320kbs-m4a/98mb/43mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 11th September 2025
Swedish-born Alicia Vikander won global acclaim in 2015 for playing Vera Britten in Testament Of Youth, and a humanoid robot in the thriller Ex-Machina. The following year she won an Academy Award for her supporting role with Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl, along with a Screen Actors Guild Award and BAFTA and Golden Globe nominations. Since then her diverse range of screen roles have included playing a spy boss in the film Jason Bourne, computer game heroine Lara Croft in Tomb Raider, and Gloria Steinem in the biopic The Glorias. The daughter of acclaimed stage actor Maria Fahl, she tells John Wilson how she first performed on stage at the age of seven in a musical written by Benny and Bjorn of ABBA. She also appeared in Swedish television dramas and films as a child actor. In 2025 Alicia Vikander makes her return to the stage in a new version of Ibsen's The Lady From The Sea at The Bridge in London, her first theatre role since she was a child.

BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 30th July to 15th August 2025
THE TRIP - 0. INTRODUCING THE TRIP (320kbs-m4a/7.4mb/3min)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 30th July 2025
During the early weeks of the pandemic, Tim Hayward spent 14 days in a coma. He remembers this time vividly – his days and nights filled with strange, incandescent visions and hallucinations. That experience is something he would never choose to revisit but, around the world, large numbers of people are deliberately seeking out powerfully altered states.
In this ten-part series, Tim sets out to better understand a group of substances that induce altered states: psychedelics.
There's been a surge of interest in their therapeutic potential for various mental health conditions - as well as a range of other clinical possibilities. As research around the world ramps up after years of taboo and prohibition he tries to get to grips with - or at least get a clearer sense of - how science, culture, politics and business might all interact in this changing psychedelic landscape, and what it all might mean.
He also explores what might be happening in the brain during a trip and whether, by studying psychedelics, we might uncover more about consciousness, imagination and even the mysteries of reality itself.

MUSIC UNCOVERED: DAVID BOWIE CHANGELING - 1. OH YOU PRETTY THINGS! (320kbs-m4a/35mb/15mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd September 2025
Kate Moss describes David's early life in Brixton, South London and the family influences that began to shape his early interest in music. School friend George Underwood describes going with David to see his first rock concert, which was Little Richard, when they were both 14 and Peter Frampton explains the help and advice his art teacher father gave Peter, George and David. Once he decided he wanted to become a musician, David moved quickly through several bands, each with a slightly different style - and in 1967 he became enamoured with the art of mime and met mime artist Lindsay Kemp, with whom he studied for several months. Then after years of struggle and experimentation, fuelled by a desperation to become famous, David finally scored his first hit in 1969 with 'Space Oddity'.
With contributions from Brian Eno, St. Vincent, Sinead O'Connor, Rick Wakeman, Peter Frampton, George Underwood and Lindsay Kemp.
MUSIC UNCOVERED: DAVID BOWIE CHANGELING - 2. ALL THE MADMEN (320kbs-m4a/36mb/16mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd September 2025
Encouraged by the success of Space Oddity, David Bowie began working with producer Tony Visconti to craft another hit. He and his girlfriend Angie moved into a flat in Beckenham, South London, where Bowie drew inspiration from Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd and dabbled in musical theatre, influenced by Anthony Newley.
At Haddon Hall, Bowie met Freddie Buretti, who became central to his evolving visual style, designing bold outfits that matched Bowie's artistic transformation. While developing new material in the basement studio, Bowie and his band—briefly known as The Hype—played gigs under various names.
This period of creative experimentation and reinvention is celebrated in a special event hosted by Kate Moss.
With contributions from Tony Visconti, John Cambridge and Wendy Kirby.
MUSIC UNCOVERED: DAVID BOWIE CHANGELING - 3. THE WARHOL CONNECTION (320kbs-m4a/36mb/15mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd September 2025
Amid writing, recording, and performing, David Bowie married Angie on March 20, 1970. With no time for a honeymoon, Bowie was back in the studio working on new material that explored themes of isolation and alienation.
Frustrated with his lack of progress, Bowie parted ways with manager Ken Pitt and signed with Tony Defries, who believed in Bowie's star potential. The Man Who Sold the World was released in the U.S. in November 1970, and Bowie headed to America—packing his Mr Fish dresses—for a short promotional tour.
Energised by the music scene there, Bowie returned to the UK and kept writing. In August 1971, he saw Andy Warhol's Pork at Camden's Roundhouse, a show that deeply influenced him. Bowie, Angie, and Defries connected with Warhol's team, many of whom later helped shape Hunky Dory.
With contributions from Tony Defries, Tony Zanetta, Anya Wilson, Trevor Bolder, Ken Scott, John Mendelsshon and Woody Woodmansey. Narrated by Kate Moss.
MUSIC UNCOVERED: DAVID BOWIE CHANGELING - 4. BECOMING ZIGGY (320kbs-m4a/35mb/15mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd September 2025
David Bowie was captivated by Tony Zanetta, known as 'Z', who played Andy Warhol in Pork, and asked him to arrange a meeting with Warhol in New York. During that trip, Bowie also met Lou Reed and Iggy Pop, both of whom would profoundly influence his music.
Kate Moss explores Bowie's journey back in the UK where he was creatively recharged. Inspired by the artists and sounds he encountered, he began writing new material and shared his vision for a new persona: Ziggy Stardust.
His next album, Hunky Dory, showcased Bowie's immense potential. Released on December 17, 1971, it featured tracks like Changes and Life on Mars, which marked a turning point in his career.
With contributions from Iggy Pop, George Underwood, Tony Zanetta, Woody Woodmansey, Anya Wilson and Leee Black Childers.
MUSIC UNCOVERED: DAVID BOWIE CHANGELING - 5. WALK ON THE WILD SIDE (320kbs-m4a/42mb/18mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd September 2025
Kate Moss digs into how Bowie brought Ziggy Stardust to life, through a striking transformation. Though Hunky Dory showed him with flowing golden hair, Bowie was already embracing a bolder look inspired by Warhol's circle and Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange.
Despite the daring style, early gigs drew small crowds, some nights just ten people, and not everyone embraced the new aesthetic. One early show featured Roxy Music, another band pushing boundaries.
Bursting with creativity, Bowie wrote and produced All the Young Dudes for Mott the Hoople, an anthem that defined the era. Then in June 1972, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars was released. A month later, Bowie's electrifying Top of the Pops performance of Starman in full Ziggy costume became a cultural milestone.
That summer, riding the wave of Ziggy's success, Bowie produced Lou Reed's Transformer.
With contributions from Suzi Ronson, Trevor Bolder, Woody Woodmansey, Michael Watts, Mick Ronson, Phil Manzanera, Mick Rock, Ian Hunter, Lou Reed & Boy George.
MUSIC UNCOVERED: DAVID BOWIE CHANGELING - 6. A LAD INSANE (320kbs-m4a/35mb/15mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd September 2025
In April 1973, David Bowie fulfilled a long-held dream by touring Japan. Designer Kansai Yamamoto gifted him a collection of flamboyant stage outfits that Bowie wore with confidence, looks that continue to inspire fashion today.
On April 19, Bowie released Aladdin Sane, featuring the iconic lightning bolt artwork that became one of rock's most enduring images. As Ziggy Stardust's fame soared, Bowie's reality blurred with fantasy. Within just 18 months, Ziggy had become a global phenomenon.
But fame came at a cost. The pressures of touring and financial strain began to mount. On July 3, 1973, at London's Hammersmith Odeon, Bowie dramatically retired Ziggy Stardust, closing a defining chapter in his career.
With contributions from Mike Garson, Geoff MacCormack, Dana Gillespie, Lady Gaga, Chris Duffy, Harris Reed and Sir Paul Smith.
MUSIC UNCOVERED: DAVID BOWIE CHANGELING - 7. THE 1980 FLOOR SHOW (320kbs-m4a/36mb/16mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd September 2025
Following the end of Ziggy Stardust, David Bowie entered a period of reinvention. While Tony Defries negotiated a complex publishing deal, Bowie owed RCA another album, so he recorded Pin Ups, a collection of covers that paid tribute to the songs that shaped his early musical journey. He and Angie spent the summer of 1973 at Château d'Hérouville in France working on the project.
That same year, Bowie was invited by NBC to film a concert for their Midnight Special series. Unable to secure rights to adapt Orwell's 1984 for the stage, Bowie channelled his vision into a theatrical performance titled The 1980 Floor Show, filmed at London's Marquee Club. Still in Ziggy mode for one final outing, Bowie was joined by guests including The Troggs, Carmen, and Marianne Faithfull.
With contributions from Marianne Faithfull, Chrissie Hynde, Cherry Vanilla, Mike Garson and Gene Simmons.
MUSIC UNCOVERED: DAVID BOWIE CHANGELING - 8. THE YEAR OF THE DIAMOND DOG (320kbs-m4a/41mb/18mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 22nd September 2025
The series concludes with Kate Moss exploring the lasting legacy of David Bowie and the story behind Diamond Dogs, an album that carried themes from Bowie's unrealised Orwell adaptation. Released on May 24, 1974, it marked a shift, Tony Defries had convinced Bowie to drop "David", and all promotional material referred to him simply as Bowie.
Unable to stage his 1984 concept, Bowie transformed it into a theatrical U.S. tour, bringing in Broadway designers and choreographer Toni Basil. After months of rehearsals, the Diamond Dogs Tour launched in Montreal, pioneering large-scale rock theatrics and earning rave reviews.
During the tour, Bowie began recording Young Americans in Philadelphia, where filmmaker Alan Yentob captured his volatile state in the documentary Cracked Actor. Bowie, inspired by the new sound, incorporated it into the tour's final leg and completed the album with Tony Visconti. The last track, Fame, was co-written with John Lennon.
Cracked Actor aired in January 1975, catching the eye of director Nic Roeg, who cast Bowie in The Man Who Fell to Earth, sparking the birth of his next persona: The Thin White Duke.
In just five years, Bowie evolved from a shy outsider into a global icon, constantly reinventing himself through music, fashion, and art.
With contributions from Tilda Swinton, Dave Gahan, Robbie Williams, Florence Welch, Nick Knight, Christine & The Queens, Toni Basil, Jules Fisher, Mark Ravitz, Elton John, Geoff MacCormack, Tony Zanetta and Edward Enninful,

In this special episode, fashion icon Kate Moss joins Nick Grimshaw for an intimate conversation within the David Bowie Centre at the V&A East Storehouse. Together, they delve into Kate's personal friendship with Bowie and reflect on his enduring influence across music, fashion, and culture. First broadcast on the 6 Music Breakfast Show.
REWINDER - LIVE FROM SHEFFIELD WITH MICHAEL PALIN (320kbs-m4a/64mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 19th July 2025
Greg James is back for another trip deep into the BBC Archives, and into the past, as he uses current stories and overlooked anniversaries to guide him to audio gold.
This week, for the first time ever, Rewinder comes to you in front of a live audience at the Crossed Wires Festival in Sheffield, and features a very special star guest....Sir Michael Palin!
Michael helps Greg on his archive quest, uncovering the time Michael was interviewed live on Radio Sheffield in the back of a cab as the taxi dispatch radio kept cutting in. They look back to when floundering Sheffield Wednesday, languishing in the third division, tried to turn things around by bringing in a consultant clairvoyant, and they listen to the worries of ordinary Sheffield residents from 1959 - dogs, buses and students were on one woman's mind.
Michael relives moments from his childhood, as he remembers being terrified by the BBC's early crime and sci-fi dramas like Fabian of the Yard and Quatermass and the Pit. Greg digs out Michael's first ever travel documentary, Confessions of a Trainspotter, which was the programme that led to all of Michael's subsequent travel adventures.
And a trail of letters takes us back to Michael's first ever appearance on the BBC when, aged 21, two sketches he co-wrote and starred in were broadcast on television. But the letters suggest he might never have been paid.
Plus there's Python, cutlery, pork pies and much more...

MALA - THE SWEATBOX 19.10.25 (320kbs-m4a/64mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 19th October 2025
In order to orderstand the sound and cultural movement of UK dubstep, one must understand Mala's place within it. As the co-founder of club night and label DMZ, as well as Deep MEDi - which remains one of dubstep's most esteemed labels - Mala has been nurturing and spotlighting talent in the dubstep, 140 and bass spectrum for over two decades. His own project alongside Coki, Digital Mystikz, is responsible for some of the scene's most iconic music.
Mary Anne Hobbs says that Mala 'is foundational in the dubstep scene. He's an artist who has stayed really true to the core foundation of that DMZ sound, and propagated it in every landscape across the globe, and continues to do so. He was also, in the early days, one of the artists who took a huge amount of responsibility for actually organising the scene. Who is going to put the club nights together? Do the fliers? Hire the rig? My understanding of sound system culture [...] was borne out of watching the way that Mala worked, the way that Mala would build a rig. I adore him - he's a beautiful, spiritual human being.'
This week, it's dubstep's godfather, Mala, taking over the Sweatbox.
