John Powell

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by writer, composer and science lecturer John Powell, who talks about music and the emotions.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie's guest today is writer, composer and science lecturer John Powell, who's here to talk about music and the emotions: did you know that Barry Manilow songs can be used for crowd control or music can change the taste of wine? John will let us know the reasoning behind these, and might even explain how music can reduce pain at the dentist! Well, he IS on after 2.30pm/Tooth-hurty...

With Teatime Themetime, when you guess the link between 3 tunes and lots of splendid music to accompany you through the afternoon till Steve Lamacq o'clock. Apart from that - you just sit back and enjoy the music, mate.
