John Waite makes his selection from the past seven days of 主播大秀 Radio

In this week's Pick of the Week, saluting "La Stupenda" - John Waite hears tributes to the great soprano Dame Joan Sutherland who died earlier this week. There are highlights, too, from a very different musical legacy - the virtuoso trumpet playing of Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong. From a satchel mouth . to a penny-black nose: find out why Adolf Hitler had a "nasal welcome mat" in the middle of his face. And . a nation of addicts. John investigates the domestic drug that we've probably all dabbled in, and asks "Why are the British hooked ... on tea?" Perhaps make yourself a pot, and settle in to listen to "Pick of the Week".
