Depends what you're after (obviously enough). Late Junction is pretty indispensible (Tues, Weds, Thurs 2315). I adore the Early Music show (Saturday 1300, repeated Sunday). World Routes on Saturdays at 1500 is pretty good, although it can be patchy. They had a glorious series on Azerbaijan recently, and their 'on-site' things tend to dig a bit deeper than just 'here's something that sounds generically Belgian'. I dip into the Hear and Now programme from time-to-time, and while I think Sarah Mohr-Pietsch (pronounced 'more peach') has the sexiest voice in radio, it does tend to be guff.
But I have radio 3 on pretty much constantly. That would require a fairly high tolerance for baroque music. I almost enjoyed some Scarlatti the other day. Getting old, innit?
