36 分钟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 rights reasons, the music is shorter than the original broadcast.
I hope you enjoy listening.
My castaway this week is Gully Francis de Karni, Bishop of Chelmsford.
She's the third anglican bishop in three generations, following in the footsteps of her father and her grandfather.
She also sits in parliament as a lord spiritual, and you may have seen her at the coronation last year, giving holy communion to the king and queen.
The roots of her family tree are intertwined with her faith.
She was born and raised in Iran and was, she says, happily, between and betwixt the worlds of Christianity and Islam.
Until the islamic revolution of 1979, her family were targeted and amidst escalating violence, they were forced to leave and unable to return.
She arrived in the UK aged 13 as a refugee.
