It is an honour to welcome Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber to the podcast. Andrew talks to Alex about a lifetime of collecting Pre-Raphaelite art and how the legacy and popular appeal of the movement has changed. From an early interest in Victorian church architecture, Andrew Lloyd Webber has built one of the finest private collections of Victorian and Pre-Raphaelite art works in the world.

As the exhibition at the Tate is now in full swing, Karl is delighted to welcome Dinah Roe to the podcast to introduce a rather different approach to Christina Rossetti's poetry.
