A feast of great music, The Beatles’ Let It Be and pneumatic tyre chat

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat and mark the anniversaries of The Beatles’ Let It Be and the invention of the pneumatic tyre.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

They couldn’t decide which of today’s anniversaries they should focus on… the release of The Beatles’ final studio album ‘Let It Be’ or a milestone in the creation of the pneumatic rubber tyre. So they decided to cover both. There’s a selection of tracks from Let It Be and a couple of tenuously-related tyre tunes, with discussion of the importance and impact of both of these modern masterpieces.

With a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday including tracks from PJ Harvey, Fontaines D.C., Depeche Mode, Kelis, Jamie xx, Al Green, Superorganism and The Housemartins.
