Marc Riley sits in with some Tenuous Links

Marc Riley brings you some Tenuous Links, where every tune connects, somehow, to the next. Cue great music, obscure facts and the risk of the occasional appalling pun.

Plus, from the Riley archives some of the finest radio idents known to man.

Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 6 Music.
