In this edition of Shuffle, get ready to listen to the weirdest and most mind-blowing covers and drifts of Tina Turner's Private Dancer. There's no order, no lists, only stilted and exclusive material. Public and private dancers, non-binary voices, Finnish superstars, peaches, orchestras, strong women, workers who hate their jobs … all are welcome in Shuffle formula radio mode.

Shuffle by Agnès Pe is a formula radio programme taken to the extreme: repetitive, obscure and humorous. Each episode presents obscure covers of a single song. “Anything that spreads by imitation or spreads by bodily reproduction, like genes, or by viral infection is a meme” - (Richard Dawkins, 2013).

Patrick and his guests walk from Exchange Square behind Liverpool Street Station – where Austerlitz first arrives to London on the Kindertransport – to Brick Lane where Stephen reads a poem dedicated to Altab Ali and Bill Fishman. From there they continue to Alderney Road – where Austerlitz lives in the novel and also home to the oldest Ashkenazi Jewish cemetery in the UK – and finally arrive at Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park behind St. Clement's Hospital where Sebald's character spends a long period of recovery.

Sound recorded by Milo Thesiger-Meacham and photography by Karen Lacey-Holder. Thanks to Leonard Shear of the United Synagogue.

In this extended programme Patrick Bernard follows in the footsteps of W. G. Sebald and his eponymous character Austerlitz as he explores the East End of London with poet Stephen Watts (a friend of 'Max' Sebald who accompanied him on many of his walks). They are joined by Nadia Valman and David Anderson from Queen Mary University of London as they visit many of the locations in the novel to uncover the layers of history hidden beneath the surface of the city and Sebald's text.

All day today: previous ten episodes of Trace in one long-form broadcasting 'finale' collating 9 hours 30 minutes worth of recordings from the Irish border.

Trace is a project exploring liminal space of the Irish Border between Ireland and Northern Ireland through photography and field recordings taken at almost 200 border crossings. The project aims to document open and free movement currently enjoyed on the Island of Ireland in the context of the current political negotiations. Each episode explores a different section of the border.
