A weekly one-hour music show and history programme rolled into one. Each series of episodes presents the music of a particular time in history, woven together by the tale of that particular time as told to you by presenter Ben Shepherd and special guests.
The music played covers genres as varied as the history itself, including rock of various hues, soundtrack, electronica, world music, soul and funk, and folk and roots, all of top quality and all helping to tell the historical story.
Ben does history for a living, lecturing on it at Glasgow Caledonian University, but he promises this will be a Powerpoint-free show.
The Music of Time is produced by Dave Gillies and Nina Doherty.
