Every weekday from noon, The Brew is a chat and music show. Hosted by Phil Whelan, guests include regular contributors and drop-ins, who span topics from current affairs to cookery, sport, the arts, technology, and music... lots of music.
Welcome to Wednesday on The Brew. Coming up after the mid-day news, our NYC correspondent Tracy Quan kicks things off with the nice, easy topic of the 'seven deadly sins', and then, of course... a bit of fashion! At 12:40, RTL France's Philippe Dova is live from Siem Reap with a special tribute to the legendary Belgian singer Frank Michael, the romantic "Prince of Lovers", who passed away just a few days ago at the age of 79. Finally at 1:25, it is 'classical' music day with our friend Paul Archibald, joining us live from Bangkok. Today we are exploring some fantastic symphonies by Antonin Dvorak, one of the most famous composers out there, and arguably history's biggest train nerd! He memorised timetables, hung out at railway stations, and once said he would give up all his musical works if he could just own a real locomotive (From the New World, maybe?) Oh yes, and he wrote some pretty decent tunes too.

Welcome to Tuesday's Brew. On this day in 1868 the world's frist traffic lights, well, more like railway signals... were seen on the streets of London. That's obviously a (rather clumsy) segue into our chat with biz futurist Morris Miselowski, who joins us live from Melbourne at 12:10. Listen in for more. Just down the road from Morris (literally) is Jarrod Watt, who'll give you all of this week's Aussie news at 12:40. At 1:25 from 'somewhere' in Guangdong, marathon runner and uber-fundraiser Jo Lodder will check in. He's just about to complete a 3000km run from Beijing to Hong Kong. Jo and his friend John Fan will be 'crossing the finish line' at the Kai Tak stadium this Saturday morning, after raising a lot of money for children with disabilities through the Action Asia Foundation. Every weekday afternoon from 12:05 until 2... Only on Radio 3
