Everything Changes

Arts broadcaster Marie-Louise Muir reflects on the inevitable changes woven into the fabric of life.

Change is written into our DNA. Arts broadcaster Marie-Louise Muir reflects on how we equip ourselves to deal with the inevitability that everything changes - from transformations in our physical being to less predictable shifts in our relationships - and asks whether experience makes us better at dealing with it.

The programme draws upon recent music by Peggy Seeger, Tim Wheeler and Irish music 'supergroup' The Gloaming, as well as extracts from books by Viv Albertine, Julian Barnes and Siri Hustvedt.

Readers: Julie Covington and Jonathan Keeble
