Producer’s note: One of my all-time favourite music radio shows was Late Junction on BBC Radio 3. In its heyday, it was, I think, one of the most adventurous, genre-defying, and quietly influential shows on British radio. Airing late at night, it felt like a secret world for curious, open-minded music lovers - a place where boundaries between styles simply dissolved. One moment you might hear medieval choral music, the next Aphex Twin, followed by desert blues from Mali, field recordings, modern classical, experimental jazz, or folk drifting into avant-garde electronica. Nick was one of the show’s three main hosts, and it’s been a huge honour to get to know him and make an episode about his work. When I listened to Late Junction, I was always struck by Nick’s warmth, deep knowledge, and genuine curiosity - and it’s been a joy to experience that same spirit on our show - thanks Nick! (AJ)
