ITV's Loose Women was always begging for a spoof, wasn't it? Cue Mouth Trap (BBC Radio 4, Tuesday, 11pm), a new four-part programme offering a satirical take on the mixed messages directed at 'the modern woman'. It's written by and stars comediennes Katy Brand and Katherine Parkinson as gobby hosts Susan Blakeley and Frankie Maybury engaging in 'empowering' and topical issues. What better way to spend some quality 'me' time?

Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's posthumously published novel, The Leopard (BBC Radio 3, tonight, 8pm), which became a modern classic and was made into an award-winning film, has been newly adapted for radio by Michael Hastings. Starring Stanley Townsend and Hayley Atwell, this feature-length drama begins in 1860s Sicily and follows an aristocratic family facing changes during the Italian Unification.

Veteran broadcaster Sir David Frost picks his favourite moments from his back catalogue of high-profile interviews in The Frost Collection (BBC Radio 4, Tuesday, 11.30am). Over the next three weeks, he joins a panel of guests from politics and entertainment to share his interviews with Muhammad Ali, John Lennon and some of his gruelling 12-hour session with Richard Nixon.

If you think that's thorough, prepare to be overwhelmed by The Chopin Experience (BBC Radio 3, next Saturday and Sunday), a weekend which promises to air every note written by the great 19th-century Polish composer. Highlights include Rob's Chopin Salon (Saturday, 6pm)
