Synopsis

Shaun Keaveny takes a rib-tickling romp through the day's news and events, with Vicky Williamson from Goldsmith's college giving us the latest on the earworm project and Professor Brian Cox.

It's the perfect morning soundtrack for any music-lover; from northern soul to new folk; rock 'n' roll to indie disco. New tracks from the likes of Friendly Fires and Foals are nestled in next to the back catalogues of Hendrix and The Smiths. Slip in an A-list guest, and you're laughing.

Shaun and Vicky Williamson
