Continuing our series of features looking at cultural life in 1922, John Gallagher considers what the expansion of free time in the 1920s meant for leisure and the things people did for fun. From a new craze for body building to that distinctive figure of the 20th century, the hobbyist, John is joined by historian Elsa Richardson and literary scholar Jon Day. Plus we'll hear from our BBC Sounds Champion Keelan Carew about his Proms highlights from the past week.

No prizes for identifying the real hero of Richard Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben. With its swashbuckling self-confidence and self-mocking humour, this ‘Hero’s Life’ is very much the world according to Richard Strauss – an exuberant, off-the-scale showpiece for the Oslo Philharmonic, making its first Proms appearance under its recently appointed and widely acclaimed Chief Conductor Klaus Makëlä. Joining them, in Liszt’s First Piano Concerto, is the phenomenal Yuja Wang, who’s said that she ‘feels like a rock star’ when playing at the Proms. Sibelius’s awe-inspiring panorama of the Finnish forests opens a high-octane evening with one of Europe’s great orchestras, and two of the most talked-about classical musicians in the world today.
