    Average duration: 25 minutes

    Latest episode: 23:00 Thu, 26 Jan 12

    Late Junction's unique studio sessions bring together musicians who have never recorded together before, often from different musical styles and traditions, to create a spontaneous new hybrid music. This reflects the eclectic and exploratory nature of Late Junction, where the playlists often juxtapose tracks with widely divergent styles, whether world, jazz, electronic, folk or classical. The regular presenters are Fiona Talkington and Max Reinhardt, and they share an infectious enthusiasm for great music-making, whatever the genre.
