Rajan Datar

Rajan Datar presents a weekly selection of the best bits of audio across the BBC.

This week, the van Tullekens are working out how easy it is to take it easy - turns out, it’s not a walk in the park. On the subject of relaxing, the crime rate is falling, but do we really feel that way? Mark Easton examines what is really happening with our perception of crime in the UK. Jarvis Cocker brings the karaoke spirit to his Someday Service, and we’re all Ra-Ra-Rasput-ing at the return of Radio 4’s Soul Music.
