Prolific 19th century singer and composer Pauline Viardot was admired by Chopin and other contemporaries, but like many female composers of that era she has been all but forgotten. In the first half hour, we talk about Viardot’s life and career – and about a theatrical tribute to the artist in San Francisco this week. In the second half hour, we discuss how surfing isn’t just for guys — it’s a woman’s sport too.
