Every weekday from noon, The Brew is a chat and music show. Hosted by Phil Whelan, guests include regular contributors and drop-ins, who span topics from current affairs to cookery, sport, the arts, technology, and music... lots of music.
Happy Thursday Brew! On the show today, we kick things off at 12:10 with another 'Brewed in HK', as John Prymmer brings us more awesome tracks and a few dates for your diary from the local music scene. Then, at 1:25, Chef Jason Black joins us live from South Africa. Today's recipe is 'Poule au Pot', which sounds beautifully glamorous, but is literally just French for 'chicken in a pot'. Yes, the world's most poshly named chicken soup. Do ask him any of your foodie questions below.

Today on The Brew, we cross to New York at 12:10 to check in with Tracy Quan for her latest slice of life from the city. RTL France’s Philippe Dova is taking a break today as he's busy on tour in France, but will return next week. And then, at 1:25, Paul Archibald joins us from Bangkok for ‘Classical’ Music Day. Today, he wants to share with you a bit of the high drama of opera. Moving past the usual clichés of people loudly dying of consumption, forbidden love, accidental family marriages, dramatic stabbings, or drinking mysterious potions, he'll be looking at the characters who actually show incredible inner strength in the face of major adversity—which, let's face it, is pretty much standard for opera.
