Christmas Special: Mwaka Mudenda Dec 26, 2022

Show notes

To round off Christmas Day and begin the Boxing Day recovery, Linton Stephens tries out a mix of soothing, reflective and festive classical music on Blue Peter presenter Mwaka Mudenda. Linton's playlist for Mwaka includes everything from festive favourites which captured his own imagination as a child, to tracks he uses to escape. Will Mwaka find something to love on the playlist, or, at the very least, something she thinks might help wind down stressed-out parents? Grab some leftovers and that jar of piccalilli from the back of the fridge and tune in to find out.
