Behind The Scenes at the Museum
Join the Bradford District Galleries and Museums team on BCB every month for 'Behind the Scenes at the Museum'. Each month our presenters visit one of our Galleries and Museums sites to talk to the staff and volunteers, finding out what's new and what makes the place work. So far we've discovered that our head of service likes Tunnocks Wafers (but are they really a biscuit?), the Boar at Bolling Hall isn't THE Bradford Boar (ours has a tongue – don't ask), Cliffe Castle has its own theme tune and our presenters have a very dubious taste in music.
Battenberg
Battenburg are Richard Sara and Owen Whitehouse.
The show derives it's name from the 4 squares that make up a slice of Battenberg. A square is a topic of conversation and Richard and Owen each bring 2 squares - 'blind baked' which means that neither knows what the others square is prior to the show.
The show is a one hour conversation interspersed with music which introduces the topics.

The Classical Hour
If, like us, you love classical music then this the programme is for you. On Monday 3-4pm we play a wide selection of music, from Beethoven to Wagner. We include modern composers like Karl Jenkins and Einaudi and also promote women composers.
Presented by Di Ives
We like to feature particular talents, including Lang Lang, Benjamin Grosvenor, Nigel Kennedy and Nicola Benedetti, together with new young musicians such as Isata and Sheku Kanneh Mason. So, if you want a relaxing hour to enjoy some of the most beautiful music in the world then this is the programme for you.
