Journalist and Broadcaster Dorian Lynskey joins us for an in-deph chat about the politics behind Manic Street Preachers. From the Miners' strike through to Cuba and beyond. He also picks his favourite political songs from the band. Locust Valley is the B-side up for scrutiny this week. In other news, Michael is potentially suffering from an illness that is quite popular at the moment and Emma might be an asshole.
