Ep 53 - Prof Brian Cox

Shaun is here again on the March Equinox. Plus, Prof Brian Cox joins on the phone for his weekly science chat and Matt Everitt has the latest Music News.

Shaun gives another caller a chance to tell their brilliantly daft Claim to Fame on air in Small Claims Court & Shaun opens up Circadian Rhythms in the final hour as he continues his quest for the perfect afternoon banger. Plus, Matt Everitt has the latest Music News which includes a chat with the MD of Fender Guitars about their new research that shows that half of guitar beginners are women, which they've dubbed the "Taylor Swift factor" due to the then-country singer's performance with acoustic and electric guitars.

As well as all this - it's the March Equinox. An equinox is commonly regarded as the instant of time when the plane of Earth's equator passes through the centre of the Sun. This occurs twice each year: around 20 March and 23 September. In other words, it is the moment at which the centre of the visible Sun is directly above the Equator and so we're delighted to welcome Prof Brian cox to the show once more to chat all things science.

Plus, The Comet Is Coming's new album Trust In The Lifeforce Of The Deep Mystery is today's Album of the Day
