Now in its 21st year: moonlighting ghostwriter Ben Thompson shakes up a snowdome of real and imaginary sessions with guests from the far-flung frontiers of musical and literary endeavour. This week, Mr Thing sets us up for a new season with a generous care package including amazing interviews with Earl 'Fatha' Hines, Herbie Hancock and Merl Saunders, and poetry and music from Fleur Adcock to Milan Gramantik.
