Great music, chat and Professor Alice Roberts

Mark and Stuart present an audio buffet of top tunes, and Professor Alice Roberts shares her First, Last and Everything.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present an audio buffet of top tunes and chat for weekend breakfast.

On today’s show, Professor Alice Roberts joins Mark and Stuart to share her 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record she owned, the most recent one she's enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to her.

Alice is an anatomist, biological anthropologist, author and broadcaster. Her work explores human evolution through the lenses of archaeology, history and science. Alice shares her musical enthusiasms and talks about her latest book ‘Crypt’, in which she seeks to unlock secrets preserved in tombs and graves from the Middle Ages.

Also on the show... long-running feature ‘The Chain’, which gives listeners the chance to pick a track that links in some way to the last. The list now contains over 8000 songs.

With a selection of music old and new to get the weekend started.
