Shaun takes a rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events with Johnny Kingdom in the studio and Matt Everitt chatting to Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson.

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. Shaun is joined live in studio by Matt Everitt for an irreverent take on the day's music news.

On Monday, Shaun welsomes Wildlife presenter Johnny Kingdom into the studio to talk about his new book "West Country Tales" a charming collection of local myths and legends, interwoven with many anecdotes from Johnny and his friends.

Monday also sees Matt Everitt chatting with Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson about his recent reinterpretation of 10 George and Ira Gershwin songs along with two new songs completed from unfinished Gershwin fragments.
They also discuss the new reissue of Smile, the art of producing, how his drive to write songs is changing and whether he'll ever perform with the existing Beach Boys ever again.
