Lockdown Culture With Ed Vaizey: Covid Comedy in Edinburgh, Chineke Orchestras and Sitting in Limbo

Introducing Lockdown Culture, Country & Town House’s newest podcast series, with host, C&TH culture editor Ed Vaizey. For 20 minutes each week, the longest ever serving Minister of State at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and now C&TH’s culture editor, Ed Vaizey will be recording from his home in his old constituency of Wantage, giving us his frank, unedited opinion about what’s worth watching and listening to – and what’s not. Every Monday, in conversation with our Associate Editor Charlotte Metcalf, he’ll sift through the tsunami of culture now streaming onto our screens and tell us what he’s been glued to on TV, what he’s reading and what’s caught his eye among all the new digital offerings from the art world.
