Newsnight Podcast # 20

Welcome to the latest edition of the Classic Newsnight podcast. And here's an early warning for you: the clocks go back next weekend, which is bad news if you suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. So we've asked Classic FM's resident GP, Rob Hicks, to explain the condition, and give us some tips on how to deal with it. Darkness is also the theme of John Rutter's latest CD with the Cambridge Singers: “Lighten our Darkness”. John tells me the repertoire is so relaxing that many people fall asleep as they listen – so don't play it while driving! We also have a brief chat with Classic FM's composer in residence, Patrick Hawes, about his latest piece, “Ave Maria”, and Classic Newsnight's roving reporter, Bob Jones, gives us a flavour of English National Ballet's production of “Alice in Wonderland”.
