Tunes, chat and poet Helen Mort

Mark and Stuart present a feast of top tunes and chat to poet Helen Mort ahead of National Poetry Day and 6 Music’s Way With Words season.

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of top tunes and chat for weekend breakfast.

Ahead of National Poetry Day and 6 Music’s Way With Words season, Mark and Stuart are joined by poet Helen Mort. They discuss poetry, music and more. National Poetry Day is the annual celebration on the first Thursday of October that encourages everyone to make, experience and share poetry with family and friends.

To mark National Poetry Day, 6 Music hosts its ‘Way With Words’ season. From 5am through to midnight on Thursday 5th October, artists, musicians and wordsmiths will take over the station in a celebration of all things spoken word.

Also on today’s show… a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
