Next, browse through all the "castaways" dating from the 1940s right up to the present day. Of course you could listen to a programme and that in itself can be a richly rewarding and illuminating experience. It is endlessly fascinating to discover a famous person's taste in music? (I've just seen that you can't actually listen to a programme until the late 1980s.)
But you can always look through the different playlists and pick out a song or piece of music that particularly appeals you.
Now open Youtube in another tab and type or paste in the title of the music you would like to hear. In most cases you'll find what you are looking for, though you might have to scroll through the selection to find the exact version.
For example, here is a song chosen by Barbara Mullen in 1946:
