Before this BBC podcast kicks off, I'd like to tell you about some others you might enjoy.
My name's Will Wilkin and I commission music podcasts for the BBC.
It's a really cool job.
Every day we get to tell the incredible stories behind songs, moments and movements.
Stories of struggle and success, rises and falls, the funny, the ridiculous.
And the BBC's position at the heart of british music means we can tell those stories like no one else.
We were, are, and always will be right there at the center of the narrative.
So whether you want an insightful take on music right now or a nostalgic deep dive into some of the most famous and infamous moments in music, check out the music podcasts on BBC sounds.
BBC Sounds music Radio podcasts hello, I'm Lauren La Verne, and this is the Desert Island Discs podcast.
Every week I ask my guests to choose the eight tracks, book and luxury they'd want to take with them if they were cast away to a desert island.
And for Wright's reasons, the music is shorter than the original broadcast.
I hope you enjoy listening.
Mike Hastaway this week is Sandy Powell.
She's one of the most celebrated costume designers in the film business, with three Academy Awards to her name.
Her looks bring stories to life.
She created Shakespeare in love, sumptuous realism, gangs of New Yorks, murderous dandies, and brought Mary Poppins into a new century.
She grew up in south London, where her father entertained her with tales of the characters who frequented the casino where he worked and her mother taught her to sew.
Shes dressed everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Judi Dench and worked closely with some of modern cinemas greatest auteurs.
Derek Jarman, Todd Haines, and Martin Scorsese have all trusted her to articulate their visions on project after project.
She says 80% of the job is psychology and only about 20% art.
