Comedian Mark Steel bigs up the Walsall Hippo and Brian Cox talks Stargazing plus Shaun delivers a rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events. Matt Everitt on the latest from the Sound of 2011 and Dave Grohl on the new Foo Fighters album. All this AND, 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 The Bees and The Duke Spirit are nestled in next to the back catalogues of Japan, Ike & Tina Turner, Gerry Rafferty, Nirvana, Chuck Wood.......need we go on?
