The Word
John Broughton presents a musical puzzle with an intriguing playlist.
Join us for a musical puzzle where the dictionary meets the turntable.
The concept is simple: we pick one word and we play the music that carries it.
We bridge the gap between genres and decades, to bring you a highly curated hour of radio.
No two weeks sound the same, but every song belongs there and all are centred around a single word.
Check out our sponsors – they keep the lights on and the fire burning! Or, you can become a sponsor and add your fuel to the fire!
