Martin Geissler

Martin Geissler presents a selection of the best bits of audio across the BBC.

Two questions: are you feeling happy, and if so, are you from Bolton? The town was part of a 1930s study on emotion; Radio 4 investigates if there’s any happiness be found there these days. Gyles Brandreth has a minute to tell us what’s the matter with him, and we learn how Chaucerian fashion was a huge matter for medieval Britain - and not in a fashion forward way. Plus, Chris Packham meets the punk rockers on their way to pick up their pensions.
