Starting next Monday, December 15th, every weekday afternoon after the 3.30 news update, Radio 3's Raphael Blet will be telling us - through words and a little music - all about the things in life that you didn't know you needed to know! On our short week-daily journey of discovery we'll find out about trends, innovation, history, the future, and many other things besides, in 'That's an Idea!'. Join Raph for a five minute brain workout each weekday afternoon, and also every Sunday evening at 6:45 when he rounds up his top three of the week.

Every Saturday afternoon from 3:05, join pundits Carlos Escueta and Pete Laverick for a well deserved Sports Break, with news, views, and interviews from the world of sport, both home and away.

This week, Pete and Carlos dive into all things Hyrox… the new competitive sporting phenomenon taking the fitness world (and social media) by storm. Plus, we welcome back to the program Vincent Chu of the Hong Kong Floorball Team… who unpacks everything there is to know on the current National Hockey League (NHL) season, Stanley Cup title favourites, and dark horse teams to watch. He also explains the significance of the return of NHL players to next February’s Winter Olympic Games, for the first time since 2014.

A big number this week featuring a crazy VCT all star line up, The Metronome All Stars, featuring the winners of Metronome magazine’s polls of the year 1946. By way of a slight contrast, we have a song from one of the biggest classical vocalists of the time, Richard Tauber. Also listen up for The Piccadilly Revels Band, Jimmie Rogers (with a little Hong Kong connection) And... the ‘Scatterbrain’ is brought to you by Arthur Young.

This Sunday, and fresh from a weekend of live music at Clockenflap, and as well as reminiscing over that, Carolyn will be playing new music from the likes of Big Special, Sharp Pins, The Lemon Twigs and Sebastian Tellier. There's also a hopefully quite easy on the brain and ears Super Clever Music Mystery Quiz, sort of Sparks themed biscuits and a Sunday Cover Supplement by a Sunday Escape favourite band.

Every Sunday afternoon we invite you to buckle up for Caravan Tracks, featuring Radio 4’s early morning classical music presenter Livia Lin.

Throughout the working week, she takes you from Bach to Bernstein and way beyond, but each Sunday afternoon she'll cruise on over to Radio 3 for a very different journey… where music is the compass, and every detour leads to a surprise. Join Livia on her weekly cross-genre virtual road trip, weaving together unexpected musical paths from global beats to rare fine music gems, while always celebrating the spirit of adventure.

The best music in Hong Kong doesn't necessarily belong in shiny venues, concert halls, and clubs. It just might be happening literally next door to you. Live music in Hong Kong can be found everywhere, and there is so much talent in our city that we think it's time, once a week, to invite as many local performers to come and share their magic with you 'live' on Radio 3, as we can. Hosted by everyone's favourite magician, on-air friend, and... musician, Harry Wong, piano superstar Cherry Tsang, and our very own radiophonic polymath Steve James, be sure to make a date with us every Sunday afternoon right after the news at 2, and join in the fun of... Music Next Door.

Keeping Music Live - Sunday afternoons 2:05 to 4 - on Radio 3
