Shaun brings you three hours of music and a cynical romp through the day's news, plus he's joined by comedian Jackie Mason.

Do you want too much chat, not enough music and too many adverts? Try someone else. Want the perfect balance of brilliant alternative music and waking witticisms? Try us. A rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events, to the perfect morning soundtrack for anyone music-lover; from northern soul to new folk; rock 'n' roll to indie disco. New tracks from the likes of Friendly Fires and Foals are nestled in next to the back catalogues of Hendrix and The Smiths. Shaun is joined live in studio by Matt Everitt for an irreverent take on the day's music news.

All this plus comedy legend Jackie Mason joins Shaun in the final hour to chat about his farwell shows. Jackie Mason holds the record for the greatest number of shows by a single performer in the history of Broadway. This includes his first show 'The World According To Me' which ran for 2-and-a-half years and won him the Tony Award in 1987. He went on to do 8 more shows, ending his record-breaking stint a remarkable 23 years later in 2009. Over here he has had sell-out runs in the West End as well as the London Palladium, the Dominion, the Royal Opera House, the Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Arena and the Royal Festival Hall.

With eight Royal Command Performances under is belt, Jackie has performed in more of these than any other American entertainer, and he is the only American to have hosted the show. Jackie is a regular guest on The Simpsons, where he plays Krusty the Clown's father, Rabbi Krustowski. He has spoken at the Oxford Union, Parliament, the White House, the Israeli Knesset, the Variety Club and the Friars Club. His charity performances have raised millions of pounds and he consistently appears in the top 10 lists of the greatest stand-up comics of all time.
