Those of you who are able to listen to music at your place of work, we wonder what you listen to. For us, the only music that seems to enhance work rather than distract us is classical.

That brings us to our favorite web radio station, Play Classical UK, which plays an appealing lineup of classical pieces, just as you'd expect. The unexpected is this: the host is one "Mr. Lambourn," who is given to purple pronouncements about the power of music. He also chats in that peculiarly British way of being both formal and warmly engaging, all the while claiming to be sipping tea on his veranda.

It's a put-on, but one that's just odd enough, and refreshing enough, to keep us tuned in.
