BCB Music Showcase
Another chance to hear a selection of BCB's finest specialist music programmes
BCB Breakfast
Wake up with BCB radio!
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.
