You're about to listen to a BBC podcast, but this is about something else you might enjoy.

My name's Katie Lecky and I'm an assistant commissioner for on demand music on BBC Sounds.

The BBC has an incredible musical heritage and culture and as a music lover, I love being part of that.

With music on sounds, we offer collections and mixes for everything, from workouts

to helping you nod off, boogie in your kitchen, or even just a moment of calm. And they're

all put together by people who know their stuff. So if you want some expertly curated music

in your life, check out BBC Sounds. Just before this BBC podcast gets underway, here's something

at the BBC we make podcasts of the very highest quality, featuring the most knowledgeable experts

and genuinely engaging voices.

What you may not know is that the BBC makes podcasts about all kinds of things,

like pop stars, poltergeists, cricket, and conspiracy theories.

If you'd like to discover something a little bit unexpected,
