This week, Radio 4 is tackling the architectural woes of the so called 'blandemic' with the help of designer Thomas Heatherwick, whilst the World Service is bringing us to the heavenly heights of the Sagrada Familia - so much so, Gaudí's on the route to a sainthood. Outside of the city, we're transported via sound to the harvest of bulrushes on the River Great Ouse, chough-watching on the LlÅ·n Peninsula, and Martha Kearney crafting an aeolian harp on Cambridgeshire's Wicken Fen. And after all that, you can wash ashore with the sounds of fairies, and the Shipping Forecast, whichever is sweeter. Presenter: John Toal Producer: Anthony McKee Production Coordinator: Caroline Peddle A ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Audio Northern Ireland production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4.
