Today's episode is part one of our special bumper double header featuring author and 80’s electronic music expert, Richard Evans.

He has recently published an amazing and definitive new book ‘Listening To The Music The Machines Make -  Inventing Electronic Pop, 1978 – 83’ which documents in great detail the music we love from that period. Richard is also the founder of the This Is Not Retro website and record label, and has worked for Andy Bell, Vince Clarke and Erasure since 2009. Richard says he lives in perpetual fear of being asked what his favourite record is.

Ladies and gentlemen – if you’re any kind of electronic music fan, you are in for a treat – meet Richard Evans...
