Tracy Quan - debates, politicians and a small book recommendation / Philippe Dova - the best French music / Paul Archibald - a true romantic and a complete nutter

Welcome to Wednesday on The Brew. New York correspondent Tracy Quan is back ​at 12:10, live from the Big Apple. It’s all about more debates, naughty politicians, and maybe a small book recommendation if she has time. At 12:40 RTL France’s Philippe Dova joins us from his new base in Singapore, with more chat and the best French music this side of the RTHK car park. Then at 1:25, it’s ‘classical music’ day. Paul Archibald will be with us from Bangkok, and he’s continuing his series on the greatest masters, highlighting one composer a week. Somebody famous (Paul) described today’s composer as “a true romantic and a complete nutter”, which is pretty much on the money.
