If anyone can make talking about classical music scintillating, it’s Joanna Lumley. The English actress (eternally Absolutely Fabulous who also manages to find the time to act in Fool Me Once) and her husband of nearly 40 years, conductor Stephen Barlow, invite listeners into their home every Tuesday and Thursday with their new podcast, Joanna Lumley & the Maestro. Lumley peppers her charming spouse with all sorts of laymen’s questions about Mozart, Bach, and lesser-known favorites, while guests ranging from Bradley Cooper to organist and radio host Anna Lapwood make for lively third parties. They bring this rich universe to life with style and verve—easy listening, but with enough gravitas to feel nutritious. —Ashley Baker
