The 1975! The Lemon Twigs! Anna Calvi! That fantastic Jeremy Thorpe dramatisation from the BBC! And some films, telly and music you might not have heard of too! It’s the first of our ‘Favourites of 2018’ shows.

MICHAEL HANN of The Guardian and FT and ANDREW MUELLER (once Melody Maker, now Monocle and you can’t say that about everyone) join Andrew and Siân to choose the best of the year. Plus: how do you persuade uptight business-y mags like The Economist and The Spectator to run stories on Cold War Steve and Lawrence from Denim/Go-Kart Mozart?
