Shaun Keaveny takes a rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events, plus he's joined by poet Simon Armitage.

Shaun does wonders for your ears from his impeccable taste in music, to phenomenal guests, and the very latest music news. A listener is given a wake-up call in My Morning Racket, and Shaun is joined live in studio by Matt Everitt for an irreverent take on the day's music news. And as for the soundtrack? We're talking...The Smiths, The Beatles, Friendly Fires, Foals, Emmy The Great, A Tribe Called Quest, Bowie, Prince, MGMT, Hot Chip... need we go on?

One of the country's leading poets, Simon Armitage is Shaun's guest.
