Our Culture Editor Ed Vaizey is finally taking to the airwaves, recording from his bedroom, to give you his tips for staying in touch with all things cultural, highbrow, lowbrow and everything in between.

He’ll be telling us what he’s been reading, what he’s been glued to on TV and Netflix and guiding us through what the home offerings are from the world of theatre, art and music.

This week he raves about BBC’s Normal People, discovers Classic FM’s 100 top pieces of music going back 1000 years and tells us where to look out for artists’ work in response to Covid-19
