Crossing Continents

Radio 4, 11am

Linda Pressly (right) presents the first episode in the new series, which looks at the Mexican state of Sinaloa. The area has become synonymous with drug trafficking and the ‘narco cultura’ pervades many aspects of the local women’s lives.

Sketches: Stories Of Art And People (Radio 4, 11.30am) begins by hearing from people who make art in miniature, from photographing tiny creatures to making scale models of their own homes and towns.

Ken Bruce (Radio 2, 9.30am) welcomes Del Amitri, who have joined forces with the BBC Concert Orchestra for the show’s latest session.
