Remember Tommy Pearson (of Stage & Screen, and before that The Music Machine and general Radio 3 all-rounder)? He's just sent us this email about his new podcast. I'll quote the email in full, as he welcomes responses from, well, anyone really 
"I just wanted to let you know about our new podcast which was originally going to be something rather different but, because of the virus situation, is now a slightly more fun format. It's called The Classical Top 5 and it's regulars Fiona Maddocks, Richard Bratby and me, together with a special guest, offering our Top 5 of something related to classical music. The first episode was Top 5 pieces of music for lockdown, and we were joined by Stephen Maddock, Chief Exec of the CBSO. The next one (recorded today and released tonight) is Top 5 Conductors and we were joined for that by Rob Cowan.
It's always a wide-ranging discussion and we hope that listeners will enjoy compiling their own Top 5 lists for us to mention in future shows, as well as discuss on our FB page (https://www.facebook.com/theclassicaltop5).
The podcast is available on iTunes, Spotify and Podbean (https://classicaltop5.podbean.com/).
I haven't been on Radio 3 for 15 years, so I'm not sure whether I qualify for inclusion on this site any more, but I hope the show might be of interest and we'd love as many people to get involved as possible - and to disagree with our choices, of course!
Sending all best,
Tommy Pearson"
