Babita Sharma presents a weekly selection of the best bits of audio across the BBC.

This week, we look back on 60 years of HRT and revisit an interview with the late great Amy Winehouse as the best-selling album Back to Black celebrates its 20th anniversary. Meanwhile, an apple tree in Lois Pryce’s garden sends her on a journey of Victorian scandal and tragedy along the banks of the Thames, and we’re busting food myths and bad eating habits with the help of the World Service.
