Stuart Maconie presents solo, joined by Roman expert, and Cambridge University Professor of Classics Mary Beard. She's recently had a BBC Two series, 'Ultimate Rome', which explored the myths and legends of the origins of Rome to gain an insight into the deep-rooted psyche of the people who lived there. She is also a massive Pink Floyd fan! She's here to talk about recent gig she attended in Pompeii, as performed by David Gilmour.

As well as unprecedented access to some of Stuart's favourite records, YOU, the actual listener, will have the chance to be on the wireless by taking part in the never-ending Chain of conjoined records - or huddle round the office DAB speaker with your favourite afternoon beverage to gain victory in today's Teatime Themetime.
