Today he speaks to author Ben Wardle about his in-depth biography of singer, songwriter and Talk Talk founder Mark Hollis.  

Hollis fronted the pop-rock outfit Talk Talk from its formation in 1981 and oversaw the band's evolution through the 1980's.  Moving from synth-pop to more experimental sounds, the band's 1988 album 'Spirit of Eden' has been cited as hugely influential by many other musicians.  Talk Talk disbanded in the early 1990's and Hollis released a solo album later that decade.   

Mark Radcliffe plays a selection of his favourite Mark Hollis tracks, and he and Ben discuss the enigmatic musician's life and legacy.

Also on the show… a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.  

There’s the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
