This weekend on Bethan Elfyn's Radio Wales show, Manic Street Preachers' James Dean Bradfield played his Personal Playlist and talked for almost an hour about his band and their career.
In one of the most in-depth and illuminating interviews I've ever heard with the Manics frontman, he talks about what made him and his bandmates the people they are at the moment of their 10th album, and recalls growing up with Nicky, Sean and Richey.
You can listen to the whole interview here for one week, but we've got four clips from the interview here:
