Following his recent visit to the UK, author Stephen King (Lisey’s Story) is not set to be interviewed this Friday on the BBC Radio 4 program Desert Island Discs. Created by Roy Plomley way back in 1942, Desert Island Discs remains one of Radio 4’s most popular and enduring shows. The format is simple: each week a guest is asked by presenter Kirsty Young to choose the eight records, and one book, that he or she would most want to take with them to a desert island.
Due to copyright reasons, this program (unlike most of what BBC Radio has to offer) is not made available later in the archive, for people who don’t catch it the first time ’round. But you can listen to Desert Island Discs live on the Internet at 0900 hrs. GMT on Friday, November 24, and again at 1115 hrs. GMT on Sunday, November 26. Click here for the BBC Radio player.
More details on the show are available here, including a rundown on King’s musical favorites.
Previous mystery and thriller writers who’ve appeared on Desert Island Discs, and whose music selections are still available on the BBC Web site, include Jack Higgins, Alexander McCall Smith, Ian Rankin, Paulo Coelho, P.D. James, and Minette Walters.
