Shaun presents three hours of wit, wisdom and idiocy featuring Toast the Nation and music news from Matt Everitt.

Keavo does it better. But he doesn't go on about it... there's too much music to play. A listener takes time out to celebrate their stomping ground with a request in Toast the Nation, and Shaun is joined live in studio by Matt Everitt for an irreverent take on the day's music news. Slip in an A-list celebrity guest, and you're laughing....literally. Shaun Keaveny: never knowingly over-played. And as for the music? Try... Hendrix, Bowie, The Beatles, The Jam, Friendly Fires, White Lies, A Tribe Called Quest, Emmy The Great, MGMT, Prince, Pixies... Need we go on?
