English language broadcast - 25/10/12

After the news, today's broadcast continues with "Face to Face," in which Frank Smith talks to the head of the Cervantes Institute in London about his new book Empires: The Rise and Fall of Europe in the World. Then, in "This, That & the Other," Justin Coe talks to (and listens to the music of) veteran American bluesman and bandleader extraordinaire James Harman, who has just been in Spain at the end of a six-week European tour.
