Mark and Stuart are joined by comedian and radio stalwart Mitch Benn.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie: 6 Music's audio gardeners, pruning the best musical roses to scent your audible afternoon listening herbaceous borders. Their guest today is comedian and Radio 4 stalwart Mitch Benn. Well-known for his comedy rock tunes performed on the radio, he's also a regular contributor to the Radio 4's The Now Show, as well as performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and somehow finding the time to release seven studio albums and write a science fiction novel called Terra!

And if that wasn't enough, there are the trusty show staples, the never-ending Chain of records (now up to over 5000 linked tracks WITHOUT A REPEAT) and the office party game favourite, Teatime Themetime (guess the link for extra workplace kudos).
