It's a glorious fusion of nostalgia, tinsel and song this week in a show recorded with an audience at the BBC Radio Theatre. Clive talks to punk princess Toyah Willcox about her Xmas Party tour with King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp and a blistering year that's seen her perform at Glastonbury, take part in Strictly Come Dancing and join the cast of Now That's What I Call a Musical. To celebrate 30 years since boyband East 17 scaled the charts with Stay Another Day - songwriter Tony Mortimer performs the song with Edele Lynch of B*Witched for a boy and girl band treat. Find out the true origin of the song and why it almost wasn't released. There's bromance, baubles and banter with a pair of Edinburgh Comedy Award winners - Adam Riches and John Kearns - who this year are collaborating on a "once in a lifetime, yuletide extravaganza" show at the Soho Theatre.And the columnist, broadcaster and newly-announced MasterChef host Grace Dent - who knows a thing or two about comfort eating having written a book about it - on creating Christmas food memories, including loading up on yellow-stickered trophies at the supermarket late on Christmas Eve. Plus in this 40th anniversary year since the release of Wham's Last Christmas we have a gorgeous soulful version from singer and former UK Jazz Act Of The Year - Georgia Cecile. Presented by Clive Anderson Produced by Olive Clancy

Welcome to the middle of ‘the nineties'! Sort of! Spring 1994, to be exact. And indeed, the popworld is revelling in the ‘seed of the new breed'.Again, sort of…You know the drill by now, the glorious NOW, That's What I Call Music 27 steers you though the wonderfully choppy waters of the UK charts. Sometimes the shore is graced with the wonders of perfect pop from the likes of Swedish Global grabbers Ace of Base. Life can indeed be demanding, without - who knows - understanding.Further along the journey we find Eternal being fabulous and poppy, still as a classic foursome, and - wait - can it be Peter Cunnah and D:ream celebrating all things positive and possible, whilst popping in for a cuppa in Derry?You'll need to listen in for THAT one.Leaving the shoreline/boat analogy behind (running out of examples, sorry), you'll find Meat Loaf with THREE choruses, Primal Scream stuck between two rocks (you're welcome) and Gin Blossoms having just the one. (Can you remember anymore of their songs?)And of course, as it's the 90s, NOW27 moves into dance Maximum Overdrive (wrong volume, that was 26!) with the likes of Culture Beat, Capella, Reel ‘2' Real and everyone's favourite Charleston aping techno Dutch duo Smashing Pumpkins DOOP!And there's much, much more across these 38 Top (mostly) chart hits!Join award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster John Aizlewood as we head back, Back, BACK to 1994 for stories aplenty of pop adventures from his days with the doorstop music authority magazine that was Q (RIP), including how he attempted to stop Ace of Base leave a room, ordered everything on the menu with Jim Steinman and tried to find Tony Mortimer's imaginary record collection.Also, discover which record started it all for John (clue, it's not on NOW27) and which group has captured his heart more than any other (clue, it's not Doop).And find out which acts on the album could (possibly) provide the perfect Pointless answers and which track almost (well, not really) brought our blossoming podcast friendship to a violent end! Yes, it's that dramatic (again, really not).In the words of the Urban Cookie Collective, let's Sail Away folks! (Another boat analogy - REALLY?) Hosted on Acast.

How old were you when you read your first novel?Former British boy band member Tony Mortimer is in the news this week after revealing that lockdown meant he finally got around to reading his first novel at the age of 50.And he liked it so much, he's since read 64 more.It has raised questions about whether Kiwi men are in a similar position.Juliet Blyth, CEO of Read NZ, told Kate Hawkesby that we shouldn't be surprised by how many men aren't reading."Research that we conducted in 2018 showed that half a million Kiwis didn't read a book in the last year, and we also found that fewer men were reading books."She says that unless people have someone championing them or urging them to read, they won't keep going with it after they become adults. LISTEN ABOVE
