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 Wednesday. Welcome to The Brew. Coming up at 12:10 our New York correspondent Tracy Quan is back, live from the Big Apple, where the New York primaries have just wrapped up. So, what's that actually all about? Listen to Tracy for more. Then at 12:40, Philippe Dova from RTL France joins us from Singapore to talk all about La Fête de la Musique, the World Music Festival, which he attended in Siem Reap last week. At 1:25, we have a slight 'variation' on our usual Wednesday classical music session. Paul Archibald is away on holiday, so instead today, live from Melbourne, we welcome back renowned Australian concert pianist Kristian Chong to The Brew. He's teamed up with the Hong Kong Phil's Principal Flute, Meg Sterling, for a stunning new album entitled 'Silver Skies - Music for Flute and Piano'. Released in May, it combines historical French flute traditions with some modern Australian composers who we all need to hear from.

Today on The Brew, we're kicking off with Brewed in HK right after the midday news. John Prymmer joins us live from Cleveland, USA, to put another spotlight on our local music scene, featuring tracks from The Red Stripes, Occasionally Soft, Deborah, and Warrior Monk—plus he'll fill us in on the best local live gigs to catch over the next few days. Then at 1:25, we're crossing over to South Africa for our regular Thursday cooking spot with dough boy-in chief, Chef Jason Black, who tells us exactly how to get that perfect, deep flavor into a nutty wheat sourdough. check out the recipe below, and do pop any questions in 'comments'.
