The XX factor

Vampire Weekend to The Velvet Underground? Wonderfully observed Northern ramblings? All this plus Adam Buxton on the phone and Dr Ben Goldacre unpicking dodgy scientific claims.

Shaun does wonders for your ears from his impeccable taste in music, to A-list guests. 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, Bon Iver, Emmy The Great, A Tribe Called Quest, Bowie, Prince, MGMT... need we go on?

Shaun Keaveny: never knowingly over-played.
