Miss the Tom Dunne show this week?

We'll let you away with it - just this once. AND we'll provide you with a round up of the week's highlights.  

That's just the kind of people we are.

Clare Grogan

This week, we decided to celebrate all things Scottish.  On Tuesday, Tom managed to hold it together enough to interview his youthful crush, Clare Grogan.  

Clare got her first break starring in Bill Forsyth's coming of age Scottish comedy Gregory's Girl.  She later rose to fame with her new wave group Altered Images.

These days, Clare writes children's books about a character called Tallulah Gosh, partly based on her own experiences as a pop star. Clare talked about how she's never seen Gregory's Girl and even shared a bit of parenting advice.

Listen to the interview here.

Larry David for the Comedy Hall of Fame.

This week Karl Spain and John Moynes popped in to assess whether Larry David is suitably equipped to enter the illustrious Tom Dunne Comedy Hall of Fame.  

You can guess the outcome.  

Listen below to hear about Larry's stand up, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and more.

Julian Cope

Wednesday was a special night for us as we were joined by true Renaissance man Julian Cope.

You might know Julian as an author, novelist, poet, aniquary, cultural commentator or just plain old frontman for The Teardrop Explodes.

Julian was in sparkling form and chatted to Tom about playing at Erics, legends around his drug use, joys of parenting and his love of drinking songs.

Listen to the full interview here.

Ken Sweeney's favourite records.

Showbiz journalist by day, and full time music obsessive Ken Sweeney of the Irish Sun popped into Tom on Thursday night to play some of his favourite records as a nod to Record Store Day this weekend.

Ken's boundless enthusiasm for The Vipers, The Blades, The Triffids and others is infectious.

Feed off it below.
