- Night Waves
-
Night Waves is a radio programme broadcast on BBC Radio 3. The BBC describes it as "Radio 3's flagship arts and ideas programme".[1]
The Guardian said in May 2010 "...the king of radio arts programmes is undoubtedly Night Waves, a programme so clever that it regularly makes me stand still and listen, usually halfway to the dishwasher with a plate in my hand...It's the desire to untangle arguments, to lift up their corners and see what lurks there. There's a gleeful range of references too...and a relish for intelligent debate."[2]
It is broadcast every Monday to Thursday evening, except during the Proms season. Programmes usually include a mix of interviews, reviews, previews, discussions, commissioned writing and reports. Some episodes include a single interview with a prominent figure in the worlds of arts or ideas. A monthly edition discusses a cultural landmark.
The programme's presenters are Matthew Sweet, Philip Dodd, Rana Mitter and Anne McElvoy.
