Charlie Connelly joins Amy to chat about his new book Last Train to Hilversum: A journey in search of the magic of radio

Despite the all-pervading influence of television an astonishing ninety per cent of people in Britain still listen to the radio. In Last Train To Hilversum Charlie Connelly explores the place of radio in our world, taking stock of the history of the medium and celebrating its role as one of the very few genuinely shared national experiences.

A broadcaster, performer and writer, Amy has been a regular voice on 6 Music. As well as sitting in for Tom Ravenscroft, Lauren Laverne, Nemone and Steve Lamacq, she has also presented one-off specials. These include the Sunday Service slot last year, where she explored the music that led up to Gay Liberation in the late 1960s, the music that drove the movement forward and the songs that inspired her, as part of 6 Music鈥檚 Loud and Proud season.
