The new work written especially for the BBC Singers, BBC Concert Orchestra, and conductor Sarah Latto will be broadcast during episode 8 on 4 May 2025. This episode, themed on how we ease social anxiety, features our Lecturer in Music Composition, Nathan James Dearden's new work, silent stones, and a guided meditation with podcast guest Stuart Sandeman of Breathpod.

About the podcast

Join Izzy Judd to escape the noise of daily life through the power of music and meditation in the ultimate therapeutic podcast. Experience guided meditations covering themes such as refining work life balance, winding down for the night and easing social anxiety from a range of experts enhanced by an immersive classical soundtrack.
