Time for a bit of fantasy.
There's an independent radio station in the British Isles. It has regular programmes in its schedule on/for each of the following:
World music; Blues; Jazz; Vintage soul; American roots music; European news; Women; Live music; Dance and R n B; Classical music; Positive thinking; The public relations and events management industry; Rock music; Songs to learn and sing; China; Gardening; Motoring; Russian speakers; Gay people; Bollywood; Polish speakers; Gaming and technology; Korean culture; Theatre; Mainstream movies; Independent and foreign language films; Sport; Disabled people; Books; Wrestling; Travel; Students; Scouts; Health; History; Astronomy; Africa; Job opportunities; Folk music; Politics; Bluegrass, cajun and zydeco; Reggae and Celtic music.
Let's be even more stupid and pretend that in September, it produced a serious documentary.
One about a woman born in County Tipperary who was a professional violinist, a singer, a writer and a poet; a spiritual teacher and an authority on Indian music. What else can I "make up"? Oh yes, she played for the royals, gave up her ambitions as a concert soloist because of ill health, married an English composer after collecting manuscripts and instruments in India and helped him to have his work performed in the Albert Hall. She later married someone who was employed at the gas works in the East End of London while "channelling" thoughts, changed her name, founded an ashram and was finally buried in Glastonbury at the age of 84.
