Radio 2's new Saturday mid-morning presenter - comedian and actor Romesh Ranganathan - chooses the songs that soundtrack his life all this week on Tracks Of My Years.
Having taught maths at the secondary school he went to as a kid, Romesh left his job to start doing comedy full-time in 2011.
Since then, Romesh has appeared on countless panel shows, embarked on sold out UK tours and presented a variety of different shows, whether off round the world with his mum in 鈥楢sian Provocateur鈥� or taking up the mantle of presenter of the iconic 鈥楾he Weakest Link鈥�. He also writes and stars in the sitcom Avoidance, a new series of which is on the way.
Romesh is currently on his nearly sold out UK tour, Hustle, which runs until the start of June. As well as presenting For The Love Of Hip Hop on Saturday mornings midnight 鈥� 1am, he鈥檚 also taking over from Claudia Winkleman on 成人快手 Radio 2 from 10am-1pm on Saturdays from April.
Romesh鈥檚 first two tracks this week come from Evelyn Champagne King & Bob Marley.
There'll also be more audio nuggets from the 成人快手 Archive in Vernon's Vault; there's a new Record and Album Of The Week and it鈥檚 a brand new week for the mid-morning music quiz, Ten To The Top.
