    alternative evening listening...

    After 22:00 can be a bit hit and miss for me on R3. Any alternatives recommended?

      Pretty good selection of internet stations suggested on this very board:



      Alternatively, the catch-up programmes on Radio 3, such as the previous night's Through The Night.

      Me, I just read a book …
      It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            I used to read a lot in bed when I could lie on my front. Circumstances changing means I can't now. Not tried reading on my back in ages. Will give it a go this evening. Thanks for the thread, I had thought about looking there. Through the night is also a good suggestion but I wanted to avoid leaving the phone on. Thanks for the ideas.

              .


              ... usually bed and sleep here too.

              If sleep elusive, I sometimes revert to listening to the BBC World Service.

                Audio books? Took out an Amazon Audible subscription earlier this year. Not sure I would recommend AA in particular, but if the title is otherwise hard to find or expensive it can be worth it. I got Peter H Wilson’s ‘Heart of Europe’ (history of the Holy Roman Empire). Best cure for insomnia ever …

                PHW interviewed by Rana Mitter on R3 Free Thinking, March 2016, btw. Recommended. It's an important work.

                Rana Mitter discusses a new book on the Holy Roman Empire and debates Christianity today.
                And the tune ends too soon for us all

                  Thanks for suggestion. I'd not thought about Audible specifically. If i want an audio book I have been to known to go to my library and ahem, (I think the term is archive) any discs I might want. I did this with Carol Drinkwater's the Olive Series (might seem strange but I love her voice!) But then I find I lose my place. AA my stop this...

                      I always listen to a CD of solo piano music in the evening, followed by an hour with a good book before bed. I think the solo piano repertoire is ideally suited to the solitary listener, as I discovered many years ago when my father handed me a copy of C 3101 : Chopin's first Ballade played by Benno Moiseiwitsch.
