The Chain

The Chain is an item on the show billed as A 'never-ending list of records, with every new track somehow connected to the last.' [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/radcliffemaconie/thechain.shtml BBC - Radio 2 - Mark Radcliffe & Stuart Maconie ] ] Three songs are played each show for this item and listeners are encouraged to contact the show with another song that links to the previous one. The connection can be anything, ranging from the very obvious to the very obscure. The item is introduced by Gordon Burns.

Pick 'n' Mix

Every day on the show Radcliffe and Maconie take it in turns to chose a new track, usually by a less well known artist. At the end of the week listeners are encouraged to vote on the Radio 2 website for their favourite. The track with the most votes is then played on every show the following week.

Guests

Special guests often appear on the Radcliffe and Maconie Show. Among the regular guests are Noddy Holder, Sally Lindsay, Sue Perkins, Miranda Sawyer, and Caitlin Moran
