Synopsis
Do you want too much chat, not enough music and too many adverts? Try someone else. Want the perfect balance of brilliant alternative music and waking witticisms? Try us. A rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events, to the perfect morning soundtrack for anyone 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. Andrew is joined live in studio by Matt Everitt for an irreverent take on the day's music news and Stand-up mathematician Matt Parker and comedian/writer Timandra Harkness are in to chat about their UK tour 'Your Days Are Numbered' - a critically acclaimed comedy show based around the maths and statistics of death.
