Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie are joined by comedian Rob Newman. Well-known as starring in cult 90s comedy radio then TV series alongside Steve Punt, David Baddiel and Hugh Dennis in The Mary Whitehouse Experience, then as duo Newman and Baddiel, he's since forged a successful solo career as a writer and TV presenter. He's here to talk about his book - The Entirely Accurate Encyclopedia of Evolution - and a forthcoming Radio 4 documentary series of the same name, starring Jenni Murray as The Voice of the Encyclopedia, which begins on 8th October, as well as a national tour.

Plus attempt to get your dulcet tones on the DAB airwaves by suggesting what track follows what, in trusty all-round good egg The Chain - or gather your friends around the wireless for some Teatime Themetime fun times by guessing the link between three records. What ARE you waiting for?!
