A Joyous Exploration: Jack Ashby and Hannah Barry

Cerys handpicks your Sunday soundtrack and chats to zoologist Jack Ashby on his new book Natures Memory and explores Peckham's art scene with Hannah Barry.

Cerys handpicks your Sunday soundtrack and welcomes zoologist Jack Ashby to discuss his new book Natures Memory: Behind the Scenes at the World’s Natural History Museums, sharing stories on enormous mounted whale skeletons to cabinets of impossibly tiny insects.

She also explores Peckham's art scene with gallerist and curator, Hannah Barry who runs non-profit art organisation Bold Tendencies, established in the rooftop space of South London's multi-storey carpark.

Author Alice Vincent leaves a message on her new book, Hark looking at how women listen and Cerys reaches into her mixed record bag from her vintage and classic collection, in addition to her favourite new finds this week.
