Sometimes shocking, with dramatic twists along the way, be prepared for an immersive journey into the surprising moments that shaped our lives and tastes today, and the role that music, musicians, promoters, the media and audiences played within it. A core narrative audio documentary, produced over many months by Two Star Studios, sits at the heart of each weekly episode, followed by interviews with academics in the field. As you listen, you’ll be captivated by music from different eras and genres – from 100 years ago until today – and will hear it in ways you’ve never quite heard it before.

The essence of the Turning Point is that our lives change in a big way on just a handful of moments. We really get to know people by focussing on these moments, these turning points.  By doing this we go a long way to understanding ourselves and each other better.
