Radio 3 Unwind starts on the 4th of November

[french frank]

Miranda Sawyer on 3u in the Observer (scroll down approx 2/3rds)

How about "Less unwind, more undead. Perhaps it’s because Unwind is labelled as a 24/7 streaming service rather than an actual radio station. I listened to Edith Bowman’s weekday late afternoon show, Cinematic Soundtracks. She’s a movie-score expert, having interviewed umpteen composers and directors for her film and music podcast Soundtracking, so why is she reduced to a couple of sentences between tinkly piano tracks? Jonathan Ross, who hosts Classic FM’s film show on Friday and Saturday evenings, isn’t so muted; neither was Mark Kermode when he hosted a similar show on Scala. It seems daft to employ such a specialist host and then ask her to dampen down her enthusiasm and knowledge."

Musical expert employed to avoid talking about music and witter aimiably/laughingly about nothing in particular. Very Radio 3.
