After 22:00 can be a bit hit and miss for me on R3. Any alternatives recommended?

Pretty good selection of internet stations suggested on this very board:Originally posted by cmr_for3 View Post
Alternatively, the catch-up programmes on Radio 3, such as the previous night's Through The Night.
Me, I just read a book …It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

I used to read a lot in bed when I could lie on my front. Circumstances changing means I can't now. Not tried reading on my back in ages. Will give it a go this evening.

Audio books? Took out an Amazon Audible subscription earlier this year. Not sure I would recommend AA in particular, but if the title is otherwise hard to find or expensive it can be worth it. I got Peter H Wilson’s ‘Heart of Europe’ (history of the Holy Roman Empire). Best cure for insomnia ever …
PHW interviewed by Rana Mitter on R3 Free Thinking, March 2016, btw. Recommended. It's an important work.

I always listen to a CD of solo piano music in the evening, followed by an hour with a good book before bed. I think the solo piano repertoire is ideally suited to the solitary listener, as I discovered many years ago when my father handed me a copy of C 3101 : Chopin's first Ballade played by Benno Moiseiwitsch.Comment
