Summary
Emily and Ray are in Regent’s Park with Mark Radcliffe and his cavapoo Arlo!
In this part of our chat, we find out some of the extraordinary encounters Mark has had throughout his broadcasting career - including a surreal experience in David Bowie’s dressing room…
We find out why Mark turned down Strictly, how he approaches his partnership with Stuart Maconie and why Arlo is the perfect travelling companion.
Mark’s brilliant book Et Tu Cavapoo: A Dog’s Life In Rome - which follows Mark’s three-month sojourn in Rome - told through both Mark and Arlo’s eyes! You can get your copy here!
You can listen to Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC Radio 6 Music on Saturday and Sundays from 8-10am and The Folk Show on BBC Radio 2 on Wednesdays at 9pm
