Desert Island Discs
The BBC now has an archive of 500 episodes of Desert Island discs online.

For those of you who've been stranded on a desert island since 1941, this is a series on BBC Radio 4 that has been (since 1942) inviting famous people to pick 8 gramophone records that they would choose to keep with them if they were stranded on a desert island, while being interviewed about their lives., how music has inspired them, and so on.

Here's an episode where the castaway is Robert Swan, the first man ever to walk unaided to both the North and South Poles, which I caught back in 2000 when it was first broadcast, and wanted to share with the dirts. It's worth sticking with past Verdi's "Va, pensiero, sull'ali dorate (Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) (from Nabucco)"

Re: Desert Island Discs
I love this show. One of my favorite episodes was an old guy named Gilbraith something i think. He had a fascinating life. The recent Debbie Harry episode was good too.
