6 Music's very own Gilles Peterson is this week's castaway, sharing some favourite records from the heyday of 80s Pirate Radio.

We conclude September's Back To School Season with our poetry professor Benjamin Zephaniah. An actual legend, who's just released is first album in ten years, Benjamin explains that he had a creative career plan from the off.
